about bond type

What is a Surety Bond in Arkansas

A surety bond is a three-party agreement between you (the principal), the agency or entity requiring the bond (the obligee), and the surety company. It is not insurance for your business, but a financial guarantee that protects the public, government, or consumers if you fail to meet your obligations. For example, a contractor may need a bond to guarantee project completion or compliance with state regulations.

Arkansas Surety Bonds Prices

Surety bond cost depends on several factors. The bond amount required by the state or agency is the main driver. Your credit score, business experience, and financial strength also affect the rate. Most license and permit bonds are priced as a small percentage of the total bond amount, often between 1% and 10%. Good credit usually means lower rates, while bad credit can increase costs. Some bonds, like contract bonds, may require more detailed financial review.
