How much does a Plumber Contractor Bond cost?
While the authority issuing your license sets the amount of the bond, you will only pay a portion of that amount. The percentage you pay is the bond premium and can range from 1% to 5% of the amount of the bond.
- Your premium you pay will depend on your financial stability.
- The surety underwriter will examine your personal and business finances, like your personal credit score and business assets.
- If the underwriter determines that the risk to bond you is low, your premium will be low.
