What it is and who needs it.
What the promoter bond covers
A promoter bond is a performance-and-obligation guarantee. It assures the requiring authority — and the people the promoter contracts with — that the promoter will meet the financial and contractual obligations tied to producing or staging an event or activity.
Unlike a fixed-amount license bond, there is no single statutory promoter-bond amount in South Dakota. The amount depends on who requires it and for what: a licensing authority, a venue, or a contract may each name a different figure. Whatever amount you’ve been asked for, enter it and we’ll quote it — pricing at 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum.
Because requirements vary, we recommend confirming the exact amount and the obligee with whoever is requiring the bond before you file. If the request points to a specific South Dakota statute or commission, send it to us and we’ll match the correct bond form. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
Deliver to whoever required it. Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your licensing authority or deliver to the obligee. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
