How Much Does a Maine Surety Bond Cost?

The cost of a Maine surety bond ranges from $250 to $10,000. The required bond amount varies by trade. A mortgage broker, for example, needs a $25,000 surety bond. A money transmitter needs a $100,000 bond. You are not required to pay the full amount of the bond, however. 

When buying your required bond, you only pay a premium rate. The premium rate is based on several factors, including your credit rating, business experience, and liquid and fixed assets. The rate range is from 1% to 10% of the bond amount. 

Your surety bond rate will range from 1% to 3% if you have a 700 or higher credit score. A credit score of 600 to 699 qualifies for a 3% to 5% premium rate. The rate for a 599 or lower credit score is 5% to 10%.

How to Get a Surety Bond in Maine

1. Research the Surety Bond You Need

The first step toward buying your required surety bond is determining the bond type and amount needed. For example, the FMCSA is the authority on freight broker license and bond requirements. The authority on auto dealer licenses and bonds is the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

2. Apply For Your Bond Online

After researching the bond type and amount that applies to you, the next step is to fill out our online application. This short application requires only a few minutes of your time, and we will process your application immediately. 

Recently, Julie contacted us to purchase a mortgage broker bond. While she anticipated a long, complicated process, she was thrilled to get an instant quote after applying online. It only took her a few minutes to pay her premium online, and we sent the bond directly to her email address.

3. Get a Bond Quote

Once you submit the bond application online, you will receive an immediate bond quote. For a more complex application, we will deliver a quote within 48 hours. We provide bonds to more than 99% of our valued customers.
