What it is and who needs it.
What the business opportunity bond actually covers
Connecticut regulates the sale of business opportunities under the Business Opportunity Investment Act (C.G.S. chapter 672c), administered by the Department of Banking. A business opportunity is generally a package sold to a buyer to start a business, often with claims about income, marketing assistance, or a buy-back guarantee.
A seller who makes certain income/earnings representations or buy-back promises must, under C.G.S. 36b-64, either obtain a surety bond of not less than $50,000 from a company authorized in Connecticut or establish an equivalent trust account at a Connecticut depository. The bond is in favor of the State of Connecticut, and the Banking Commissioner may require a greater amount to protect purchaser-investors.
The bond stands behind your obligations to the buyers you sell to — if a purchaser-investor is harmed by your violation of the Act, they can recover against it. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount required at 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information.
