How Much Does a West Virginia Surety Bond Cost?

The cost of a surety bond in West Virginia is based on the bond type and amount needed, and it ranges from $100 to $15,000. The required surety bond amount for auto dealers is $25,000, for example. The bond needed for a mortgage broker is up to $150,000.

The bond that you need is available from a West Virginia surety company. You can buy your bond at a premium price, which is 1% to 10% of the total bond sum. The premium rate that applies to you depends on factors like your business resume, financial strength and credit.

We provide bonds for most credit scores. If your credit score is at least 700, your bond rate will be 1% to 3%. With a 600 to 699 score, your rate will range from 3% to 5%. A 599 credit score or lower yields a 5% to 10% rate.
