What is a New Hampshire surety bond?
Surety bonds are used across the U.S. to guarantee the legal compliance of different types of businesses and individuals. New Hampshire surety bonds execute such a function as well.
State and local bodies may require surety bonds to provide additional security for the general public. Bonds work like a contract between three parties. The obligee is the respective authority that requires an entity to get bonded. The bonded party is the principal. Finally, the surety provides the bond.
There are three main types of surety bonds, which are also prevalent in New Hampshire:
- License bonds are needed when professionals want to obtain a local or state license. Typically, such bonds are posted by auto dealers, freight brokers, contractors and mortgage brokers, among others.
- Contract bonds are required on a case-by-case basis. Construction specialists often need to provide such bonds when they want to bid on public or private projects. Contract bonds guarantee that contractors will execute their work in time and in the best quality.
- Court bonds may be necessary only in certain cases. If you have to act as a fiduciary, you will need to obtain such a bond. You may need a court bond if you want to bring a court case to a higher instance as well.

Questions about Surety Bonds in New Hampshire
What is the surety bond cost?
The price you have to pay for your New Hampshire surety bond depends on the bond amount that you have to provide to the relevant authorities. You do not pay the whole amount, but only a bond premium. For most types of bonds, the rates are between 1% and 5% for applicants with solid finances.
How is your bond cost set? Your surety examines in detail your personal and business finances. It considers your credit score, business documents, and any assets and liquidity. This is how the surety can assess the level of risk involved in the bonding. Your price will be lower if your overall profile is stable.
For more details on the bond formation, our surety bond cost page offers a thorough overview.
What if I have bad credit?
Getting bonded with problematic finances can be tough. Our Bad Credit Surety Bonds program is designed for applicants with issues such as low credit scores, tax liens, bankruptcies, and civil judgements. You can obtain most types of bonds even with bad credit, except for contract bonds.
The bond rates for bad credit applicants are in the range of 5%-15%. As the bonding risk is higher, the slightly increased price compensates for it. Lance Surety Bonds works with numerous A-rated, T-listed surety companies, so you can still get a great price with us. This means that we can select the best bond option for your particular circumstances.
