NC Intermediate electrical bonds.
$300.
North Carolina's Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors lets an Intermediate license applicant satisfy the bonding requirement by showing they can obtain a $60,000 performance bond. Ours is $300 — set by our carrier's rate book, identical for everyone. A soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry.

Three steps to bonded.
Your Intermediate license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Reviewed & approved
A $60,000 performance bond gets underwriting attention; if anything is needed, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. Any credit check that runs is a soft pull that never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
North Carolina licenses electrical contractors through the State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors (NCBEEC). An Intermediate license permits a single electrical project of a value up to $150,000, and the Board requires the applicant to demonstrate bonding ability: that they can obtain a $60,000 performance bond.
A performance bond guarantees the completion of the work you contract for. If a bonded project is left unfinished and the project owner is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is not insurance for you; it backs your performance.
Many applicants satisfy the requirement with a Statement of Bonding Ability rather than a posted bond. If you need an actual $60,000 performance bond filed, this is it at $300 — and if the Board accepts a statement of bonding ability instead, tell us and we'll point you the right way.
