NC licensing agreement bonds.
$100.
A $5,000 performance bond that backs the obligations in a licensing agreement. The premium is $100, set by our carrier's rate book. This is a contractual bond — confirm the obligee named in your agreement — and a soft credit check may apply, never a hard inquiry.

Three steps to filed.
Small performance bonds are simple. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Reviewed & approved
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. Any credit check that runs is a soft pull that never affects your score.
E-sign & deliver
Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to deliver to the counterparty your licensing agreement names. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever they insist.
What it is and who needs it.
What this bond actually covers
This is a $5,000 performance bond that backs the obligations in a licensing agreement — a contract under which one party grants the other a license to use a name, product, system, or territory. The bond guarantees that the licensee performs the agreement's terms.
If the licensee fails to perform and the protected party (the obligee named in the agreement) is harmed, that party can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the licensee repays the surety. It is not insurance for the licensee; it is a guarantee that backs the agreement.
This is a contractual bond, not a North Carolina statutory license bond — the obligation comes from your agreement, not a single statute. Because the obligee and exact terms come from your contract, confirm them on your bond request before you file, and we'll issue to match.
