How Much Does an Illinois Surety Bond Cost?
An Illinois surety bond costs between $250 and $15,000, based on the bond type required. Mortgage brokers working in Illinois need a bond up to $15,000 while the bond requirement for auto dealers is $50,000, for example.
Your surety bond cost is a fraction of the bond amount required when you buy the bond from an authorized Illinois surety company. Specifically, the cost of the bond is 1% to 10% of the total bond amount.
The premium rate is based on a combination of factors, such as the applicant’s professional experience, assets and personal credit score. We bond applicants with a wide range of credit scores. In fact, more than 99% of our customers receive a bond from us.
If your credit score is at least 700, your bond rate will be 1% to 3% of the required bond amount. If your credit score falls between 600 and 699, the rate will be 3% to 5%. A rate between 5% and 10% applies for a credit score of 599 or below.
