How Much Will My NC Surety Bond Cost?
Each surety bond has a different total bond amount, which refers to the maximum coverage it can offer to successful claimants. Therefore, to calculate your bonding cost, you need to start with this amount. For example, a North Carolina auto dealer bond is $50,000.
However, a dealer wishing to obtain that bond and get a license, will not be required to post the full amount. Instead, they pay yearly premiums, which are a small percentage of the total amount, especially if they have a good credit score. Surety underwriters consider credit score essential when examining a particular application. Applicants with a good FICO score will rarely pay premiums above 4%.
Go to our What Does a Surety Bond Cost? page for more information about calculating and reducing your premiums.
Can I Get a North Carolina Surety Bond With Bad Credit?
Yes, you can still get bonded, even if you have a bad credit score though it may be slightly more difficult.
While some underwriters are unwilling to assume the higher risk involved, with Lance Surety Bonds 99% of applicants are guaranteed to get the bond they need, thanks to our bad credit surety bondsprogram.
Premiums for bad credit applicants are determined on a case-by-case basis but are typically in the range of 5% to 15% of the total bond amount, and collateral is rarely required.
After you pay your bond quote, we will make sure we process your application as fast as possible and have it signed by the surety in 1 or 2 business days.
