Have A Gresham Bond Requirement? Call Pro Surety Bond

Call 800-314-7003! What is a surety bond? If you are in need of a business license, you need a license and permit bond. Surety bonds of this variety are usually required by the government to guarantee to the public that you will conduct business in an above board manner and in good faith. They are technically insurance, but it might be more useful to think of them as a form of credit, because if a claim is made against your bond, the surety will, after having approved the validity of the claim, pay off the claim and then come to you for reimbursement. This is one of the reasons that a credit check is almost always a part of getting a surety bond. Pro Surety Bond has over 25 years of combined industry experience searching high and low for the most affordable rates it can track down for its clients, including those whose credit has seen better days. We have a program for almost everyone. Call 800-314-7003!

So Near Portland, Yet So Far

Gresham, Oregon, population 105,000 is a city near Portland, and gets its name from an American civil war postmaster general, Walter Gresham. Gresham started out as a logging camp of all things, but continued to grow into a community after a while. According to local legend the residents of what would become Gresham were informed that they could not become an incorporated city unless they had a post office. A general store owner suggested his store be used a post office and promised to name to city after the postmaster general if they got approval for it. These days Gresham is no longer the sleepy town it was. It has grown rapidly over the past few decades, and has more or less become a bedroom community for Portland. Nevertheless, it remains a viable alternative to that city.

Gresham has an aggressive program of business incentives geared to keeping the city sustainable economically for years to come. Programs include: enterprise zones with tax abatements when you meet hiring quotas; the Gresham strategic investment zone, an enterprise zone geared for high tech development (15 year tax abatements available); sustainable energy incentives the GREAT business program which counsel local businesses about smarter strategies for material reuse; and a commercial storm water fee reduction, which allows for storm water utility fee adjustments for commercial and industrial newcomers. To entice more investors to the state, Gresham likes to emphasize that Oregon does not have a sales and use tax, inventory tax, a motor vehicle excise tax, or a state capital tax on asset value.

Why do I need a credit check in order to buy a bond? One of the most important things a surety company does is determine if someone is a good risk. There are in fact a number of things that underwriters look at when assessing risk, including how many times a claim has been made against one of their bonds; but a credit report offers a fairly accurate snapshot with respect to financial outlook and general stability. It tells the underwriters, in short, how good you are at handling responsibilities and managing your money and affairs. Credit checks are so reliable that in some cases you can be bonded with only a credit check. Remember though, if your credit isn’t great, we have a program for almost every applicant.
