A Contractor’s License Bond is a License and Permit Bond that is specifically designed to help all types of contractors. Each trade of contractor is required by the state in which they operate to carry a contractor license bond in order to be a licensed contractor, whether it is a plumber, electrician, general contractor or any other contractor. Contractor bonds will assure that the contractor will operate in compliance with all of the local laws and statutes within the state that they are operating. Currently Contractor’s License Bonds are being underwritten similar to other commercial surety bonds. They use a variety of underwriting measures. Both claims on the contractor’s license and personal credit history can be taken into account. In some cases the surety may ask for personal and company financial statements. Though a Contractor’s License Bond is issued by an insurance company, it is not insurance. The insurance company is referred to as a Surety or Bond Company. A license bond is a contract between the surety, principal (contractor), and the oblige (person for whom the contractor is working for) and it provides financial benefit to the obligee on behalf of the principal, ensuring that the award of money damages will be fulfilled in the event of a bond claim. The Contractor’s License Bond is a low risk bond usually and it must be obtained by contractors in order to satisfy their state’s licensure requirements.
