How Much Does a South Carolina Surety Bond Cost?

The cost of your surety bond in South Carolina depends on its type. For instance, an Auto Dealer Bond for a wholesale auction dealer has an amount of $15,000. However, you're not required to pay the full bond amount. Instead, you'll only need to cover the bond premium, which is a percentage of the total sum. Premiums in the standard bonding market typically range from 1% to 3% for applicants with strong financial backgrounds. Therefore, you can anticipate paying between $150 and $450.

The bond premium established by the surety agency is calculated after conducting a detailed assessment of your overall financial standing, with particular emphasis on your personal credit score. Moreover, they assess your assets, liquidity, and professional background. A robust financial and business profile usually leads to a reduced premium, indicating higher trust in your dependability.
