About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What this bond actually covers

This is a $5,000 performance bond that backs the obligations in a licensing agreement — a contract under which one party grants the other a license to use a name, product, system, or territory. The bond guarantees that the licensee performs the agreement's terms.

If the licensee fails to perform and the protected party (the obligee named in the agreement) is harmed, that party can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the licensee repays the surety. It is not insurance for the licensee; it is a guarantee that backs the agreement.

This is a contractual bond, not a North Carolina statutory license bond — the obligation comes from your agreement, not a single statute. Because the obligee and exact terms come from your contract, confirm them on your bond request before you file, and we'll issue to match.

Contractual performance bond — confirm obligee and termsThis is a $5,000 performance bond backing a private licensing agreement, not a North Carolina statutory license bond. The obligation, obligee, and conditions come from the agreement itself rather than a named statute. Confirm the obligee and the exact terms on your bond request before filing — we issue to match your agreement.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is this bond? +
The premium is $275. At 3% of a $5,000 bond the math is $150, which is below our $275 minimum — so you pay the $275 floor. That is our minimum on any bond.
Is this a state license bond? +
No — it is a contractual performance bond backing a private licensing agreement. The obligation comes from your agreement, not a North Carolina statute. Confirm the obligee named in your agreement before filing.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
What does the bond protect against? +
It protects the obligee named in your licensing agreement against losses if you fail to perform the agreement's terms. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so the bond stays in force as long as your agreement requires.
