How Much Does a Florida Business Opportunity Bond Cost?

The cost of a Florida business opportunity bond is between $500 and $5,000. Under state law, a bond of $50,000 is required. You do not need to pay the full bond sum to meet this requirement. Instead, you can purchase the bond from an authorized Florida surety company for a bond premium.

Our respected surety company is authorized to do business in Florida. We have been serving Florida’s bond needs for more than a decade, and we provide rates between 1% and 10% of the bond amount. Your rate is based on factors such as your financial assets, credit history and professional experience.

We provide bonds to over 99% of our valued customers and work with applicants with all credit scores. If you apply for a business opportunity bond with a 700 or higher credit score, your rate will range from 1% to 10%.
