Ohio Surety Bond Costs
The cost of an Ohio surety bond is determined by 2 main factors:
- The type of surety bond you need, which sets its amount;
- How much risk you represent, which influences the percentage of that amount you’ll be paying.
A surety bond’s premium is calculated as a percentage of the bond amount. This percentage ranges from 1% to 10% and is affected by factors such as:
- Credit score
- Business financials
- Assets and liquidity
- Professional experience
For example, if you’re looking for a $50,000 Ohio Mortgage Broker Bond, and have stellar credit, financial and professional records, we may quote you as little as $500 for your bond. If you have bad credit, you can still get bonded. However, expect the premium to be closer to $5000 for the same surety bond.
