about bond type
What is a Surety Bond in Indiana
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 guarantee to the obligee that you will meet your obligations. Surety bonds protect the public, agencies, or consumers if you fail to comply with laws or contracts. For example, a contractor may need a bond to guarantee project completion as promised.

costs
Indiana Surety Bonds Prices
Surety bond cost depends on several factors. The bond amount required by the agency, your credit score, business experience, and the type of bond all play a role. Most license and permit bonds are priced as a small percentage of the total bond amount, often 1% to 10% for those with good credit. High-risk bonds or applicants with bad credit may pay more. Some bonds, like contract bonds, require a more detailed underwriting process and review of financials. For more information on state requirements, visit the Indiana Department of Insurance at https://www.in.gov/idoi/. Always request a quote to see how much is a surety bond for your specific situation.
