How Much Does a Wisconsin Surety Bond Cost?

The cost of a Wisconsin surety bond depends on the bond type and amount needed, and it ranges from $250 to $12,000. For example, a collection agency is required to have a $25,000 bond while mortgage brokers need a $120,000 bond.

To meet your trade’s surety bond requirement, you can buy your bond at a premium from a Wisconsin surety company. The cost of the premium is between 1% and 10% of the total bond amount. 

When determining the specific rate for your bond, your credit score, business resume and financial assets are considered. We offer bonds for most credit scores. In fact, we bond more than 99% of our applicants. 

With a credit score of 700 or higher, your bond premium rate will fall between 1% and 3% of the bond sum. A credit score between 600 and 699 qualifies for a rate of 3% to 5%. With a 599 or lower credit score, the premium rate is 5% to 10%.
