What is this bond?

A Business Services Bond is a type of fidelity bond that protects your clients from theft, fraud, or dishonest acts committed by your employees. It guarantees compensation to the client if an employee steals their money, equipment, or personal belongings while performing contracted services. This coverage provides peace of mind to clients who allow your employees onto their property or into their homes.

Who needs it?

Small businesses with six or fewer employees who regularly visit clients' homes or offices typically utilize this bond. Common examples include residential and commercial cleaning services, dog walkers, house sitters, landscapers, and home repair contractors. Any service-based business wanting to build trust and market themselves as bonded should consider securing this coverage.

Why is it required?

Clients often require or prefer to hire bonded businesses to ensure they have financial recourse in the event of employee theft. Obligees want assurance that their personal property and assets are protected when granting access to third-party workers. Holding this bond demonstrates professional accountability and helps small businesses secure contracts that mandate fidelity coverage.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming a business services bond covers property damage or general liability claims rather than just employee theft.
  • Failing to update the bond coverage if the company's workforce grows beyond six employees.
  • Not verifying the specific coverage requirements requested by a prospective client before applying.
  • Confusing this optional fidelity bond with mandatory license and permit surety bonds required by local government agencies.

Frequently asked questions

Does this bond cover business owners or just the employees?

This bond generally protects clients from the dishonest acts of your employees, though owner coverage can sometimes be added. Coverage details and requirements vary, so verify policy specifics with the issuing agency.

Is a Business Services Bond legally required to operate?

While not typically required by law for basic business licensing, many clients or commercial contracts will mandate that your business be bonded before work can begin. Always verify specific requirements with your clients or contracting agencies.

How much does a Business Services Bond cost?

Premiums vary based on the specifics of your business, location, and application details. Apply online with Noah Insurance Agency or call us at 814-718-0060 for exact figures.

What happens if an employee steals from a client?

If a client provides proof that an employee committed theft, they can file a claim against the bond for compensation. If the surety pays a valid claim, the business owner is responsible for reimbursing the surety company for the payout.
