Employers purchase business services bonds voluntarily, largely for the marketing advantage they gain from being able to advertise themselves as bonded. That sets a business services bond apart from the vast majority of mandatory surety bonds that nay be required by a state or local government agency for business licensing. It’s increasingly common for clients, especially commercial clients, to only hire businesses that are bonded.
Any company that dispatches employees to work at a client’s home or place of business can benefit from the protection of a business services bond. This includes janitorial and cleaning services, pool companies, movers, landscapers, home health agencies, house painters, pest control companies, home remodelers, appliance repair services, child care agencies, home security companies, and more.
