The Town of Blackstone requires peddlers and itinerant merchants to be licensed and to file a $5,000 surety bond with the Town. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















A peddler bond is one of the simplest things in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, and the form has no credit section to fill out.
Small fixed license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Town of Blackstone with your peddler license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A peddler bond is a consumer-protection guarantee. Peddlers and itinerant merchants sell goods away from a fixed storefront — the Town of Blackstone wants a financial backstop that you will deal honestly, deliver what you sell, and follow the Town ordinance while operating within its limits.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Blackstone (the obligee), with the buying public as the protected parties. If you take payment and fail to deliver, or otherwise violate the peddler ordinance, a harmed customer can recover against the $5,000 bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the Town can pull your peddler license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond's application doesn't collect that information.
