Bond FAQs

What Missouri Clients Ask Most

  • What’s the difference between a surety bond and insurance?

    A bond guarantees you’ll fulfill a legal or financial obligation—it protects the other party, not you.

  • Do I need a bond to get licensed in Missouri?

    Some professions—like contractors, notaries, and auto dealers—must carry license or permit bonds. We can verify your requirements.

  • How fast can I get a bond?

    Many bonds are issued the same day or next business day. Complex bonds may take longer.

  • Can nonprofits or churches use fidelity bonds?

    Yes. If you have staff or volunteers handling funds, a fidelity bond adds an extra layer of accountability.

  • Do bonds affect my credit?

    Some bonds (especially larger or contract bonds) require a soft credit check. We’ll walk you through what’s involved.
