Nassau County conditions a dry cleaner and laundromat license on a $10,000 bond. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every shop. The application is five minutes, with no credit check on this bond.
















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 check section.
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.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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 — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
