Nassau County conditions a dry cleaner and laundromat license on a $10,000 bond. Ours is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every shop. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit fields.
License bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your dry-cleaner / laundromat license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A dry-cleaner / laundromat license bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. Nassau County licenses these shops through its Office of Consumer Affairs — the bond gives customers and the County a financial backstop for property a shop loses or damages and for compliance with the County's licensing rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Nassau County (the obligee), with your customers as the protected parties. If a shop damages or loses customer goods or violates County consumer law, a harmed customer can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Shops that handle customer property carefully treat the bond as a license formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information for this bond.
