Bonding is not insurance. If you provide service to a client, and steal from them, and are convicted of the crime, the bonding company will pay back the client for your theft. Then you must pay the bonding company back for the amount of the payment, plus interest. So, what does bonding do for you - NOTHING. For your client - insures they'll get payment if you steal from them and are convicted of it, after a couple year delay. They could take you to court instead and save the hassle - but that doesn't insure that they get paid even if they win. A: You need to go to a local, independent agent, who can get you started on the bond underwriting process.

There are literally dozens of kinds of bonds - anywhere from a notary bond, to a public official bond, then with contractors it's payment, performance and bid bonds. All these bonds do different things, taylored for a specific need or bonding requirement.

How do you become bonded?

Usually, the employer will have you complete a application to a bonding company. The bonding company will do a very complete back ground check on you, to find out if you are an honest and trustworthy person, with NO criminal record. The background check will consist of speaking to previous employers, personal character references, and a computer check of the national and state records of criminal convictions. If the bonding company is satisfied with your background they will offer to "Bond" you. This means that your employer is offered a insurance coverage that will pay the employer IF you steal from them. This is usually required in jobs where you handle cash or valuables. It depends on what you need a bond for. Most insurance companies sell bonds or have companies they can work with to get bonds. Depending on the bond you need will determine underwriting guidelines and what you need to get bonded.
