Kentucky Telemarketing Company Bond

In Kentucky, any company that wants to conduct telephone solicitation has to register with the Office of the Attorney General a minimum of ten days before starting its activity. A $50,000 surety bond is required in this process, which has to be filed in the official bond form.

The surety bond provides a guarantee for your compliance with the Kentucky Telephone Solicitations Act of 1994 (Kentucky Revised Statutes 367.46951). It should be kept in full force during your registration period.

The bonding amount requirement that you have to meet as a Kentucky telephone solicitor is $50,000. This is different from the price you pay to get bonded, which is called your bond premium. If your overall profile is stable, the typical rates are between 1% and 3%.

The formation of your surety bond cost is based on a couple of important financial factors. Your surety takes a close look at your personal credit score and business finances, plus any assets and liquidity that you can showcase. In this way, it determines the level of risk that is associated with bonding you. If you are deemed a solid candidate, you can expect to pay a lower bond premium.

If you are a telemarketer with problematic finances such as a low credit score, bankruptcies, tax liens, or civil judgements, getting the bond you need to start your business can be difficult. That’s why Lance Surety Bonds operates its Bad Credit Surety Bonds program. It is designed for applicants with bad credit and other financial issues.

The premiums you can expect in this special program are typically between 5% to 10%. They are higher, so that they can compensate for the increased bond risk. As we collaborate with a number of A-rated, T-listed surety companies, we can shop around for you and find the right bonding option that matches your circumstances.

Your telemarketing bond is a safety net for the general public in Kentucky. It does not protect your business, which means you are liable for reimbursing any harms that lead to surety bond claims. Such cases include transgressing from your legal obligations under the Kentucky Telephone Solicitations Act, as well as applicable federal regulations.

On proven claims, your surety may step in to pay the damages at first. You still need to cover all costs eventually. This means that bond claims can be a serious financial threat to your business. They can also make it difficult to get bonded in the future.
