All states, including The District of Columbia, require business owners to acquire the appropriate surety bond or bonds in order to conduct business legally. The average cost of each bond varies on a case by case basis and is subject to the business owner’s financial statements, credit history and the industry in which said business operates. And while surety bonds are required for businesses in every state, the county or city you conduct business in may play a role in this matter as well.
The governing bodies and oversight agencies assigned to each specific industry require that business owners provide proper surety bonding in order to acquire the licensing and permits or permissions to begin their projects or open their businesses. Surety bonds are a means of proving to District of Columbia’s local governing bodies that your business will at all times maintain strict compliance with the laws, codes and regulations that govern your industry. A surety bond will also serve as proof to your clientele that you are a trust-worthy and responsible business owner that runs a legal and reputable business.
Not only do surety bonds provide the reassurances both the District of Columbia and your clientele require, they also serve as a means of protecting consumers and the local governing bodies. Surety bonds help to stop fraudulent, unlawful and unethical behavior as well as the mishandling and misappropriation of company funds by said company or its officers or employees. In the event that such a violation occur, and a claim against the bond is validated the business is bound by the surety to resolve the issue or pay the claimant up to the surety bonds face value.
