What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Michigan licenses personnel agencies — businesses that place workers in jobs for a fee — through the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). The license is conditioned on a $10,000 surety or cash bond, a consumer-protection guarantee that the agency follows the law governing fees, contracts, and how it treats job seekers.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Michigan together with the job seekers and clients you serve (the protected parties). If an agency violates the personnel agency law and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Agencies that follow the fee and contract rules treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk. The bond must stay active for the life of your license; we track it and notify you ahead of expiration.
