Hawaii requires a mixed martial arts promoter to post a $10,000 bond under HRS chapter 440E as a condition of the promoter license. Ours is $100 flat — set by our carrier for this bond, identical for every promoter. One soft credit check, never a hard inquiry; the bond is issued when you pay.
















Your promoter license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, owner information, effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most are approved as soon as you apply. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.
Pay online and receive the executed promoter bond ready to file with your Chapter 440E license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
Hawaii licenses mixed martial arts promoters through the Professional and Vocational Licensing Division of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond under HRS chapter 440E. The bond stands behind the promoter's compliance with the chapter — the conduct of contests, payment of obligations, and the rules governing the events.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State (the obligee). The total aggregate liability under the bond is capped at $10,000. If a promoter violates Chapter 440E and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
The bond runs with your license and continues in force for each biennial renewal. We track it and send renewal notices ahead of expiration so your promoter license stays in good standing.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is issued when you pay.
