What is the purpose of the Michigan Vehicle Dealer Bond?

This surety bond serves as like an insurance policy that assures the state that you will conduct your business as a professional. The bond states that the bondholder and surety shall indemnify or  reimburse any purchaser, seller, financing agency, or governmental agency for any monetary loss only after judgment based on fraud, cheating, or misrepresentation has been entered in a court record against the licensee.
