To become licensed and bonded, a business must first learn the licensing requirements in their area, apply for a license, and then contact a title agency to apply for bonding. Once approved, the business signs necessary forms and pays a premium.
The steps a business must take to become licensed and bound depend on the jurisdiction in which the business is located. Typically, however, a business should start by learning the licensing requirements in their area based on their specific type of business. At that point, company representatives typically apply for a license and pay the required fee. Once licensure is secured, company representatives can contact a title agency to apply for bonding. If the application is approved, company representatives sign the necessary forms and pay a title premium.
To become licensed and bonded, a business usually has to go through two separate processes. The first is usually to secure the necessary licensing in the jurisdiction. The types of licensing a company needs often depend on the types of products the company manufactures or sells, or the types of services it provides. Some businesses may only need basic business licensing, while others will need special licenses in addition to a basic license to run a business.
A business owner or representative can usually learn about the types of permits required by contacting the Department of Licensing and Inspection or a similar organization in their jurisdiction. By doing so, he can learn not only the types of licensing his business will need, but also the requirements his business will need to meet in order to obtain licensing. Once the business meets the requirements, the business owner or representative will usually need to complete an application for each required licensing type and pay the associated fees. In some cases, a business owner or key representatives will also be required to submit background checks or allow a facility inspection as part of that process.
With licensing secured, a business can then obtain the description “licensed and bound” by contacting a liaison agency for assistance. A bond agency typically collects a great deal of information from a company, including details about the company’s operations and the type of bond required. The securities agency may also run a background check on the business owner and his key employees. If the bond company is satisfied with the answers provided and the background check, it will typically approve the bond.
After receiving binding approval, a business can take the last necessary steps to become licensed and bonded. This usually involves signing an official contract with the bond company and paying the required premium. The amount a company will have to pay will generally depend on the type and value of the bond.
