Why do businesses need to be bonded?
States require businesses to be licensed and to obtain protection by a bond. A Business Service Surety Bond strengthens a business’s position in ways such as protecting a customer from a loss, theft, or from dishonesty by the employer or employee that may occur.
As a customer, it is crucial to have peace of mind and to know that if something goes wrong, you will be protected financially and legally. Especially if employees work in customer’s personal spaces such as their homes, a bond is critical so the customer is protected. Also, getting bonded is the most cost-effective way to promote the business’s credibility to your clients.
