How to Get a Surety Bond in North Carolina

1. Determine the Surety Bond You Need

Surety bond requirements differ by location, trade, and other factors, including federal, state, and local regulations. For freight broker bonds, consult the FMCSA. State-level bond requirements for North Carolina can be found through the links below.

We recently helped a contractor in Charlotte get bonded. He was getting frustrated with the licensing process and wasn’t sure how to get a bond. We helped him get the correct amount so he could move forward and receive his license. We make the bonding process as quick and hassle-free as possible. 

2. Apply for Your Bond Online

Our online application is fast and simple. We just need some basic information about your business and the type of bond you need, and we can process your request. 

3. Get a Bond Premium Quote

In most cases, we can give you a premium quote very quickly. However, depending on the complexity of the bond and your situation, it may take up to 24 or 48 hours to get a quote. We always guarantee that you’re getting the best quote possible every time. 

4. Pay the Bond Premium

Once you pay your premium, we’ll email the bond to you. If you need a hard copy, we can send one to you.
