Read on for more detailed information on the various types of Colorado surety bonds.
License and permit bonds are required in practically every state in the country. However, not all states require the same types of license bonds, nor in the same amounts. These bonds are required for businesses in order to obtain their business licenses in the state of Colorado.
They serve to protect the public, the state and individual consumers who may suffer financial harm due to a business’s malpractice. Colorado license bonds also guarantee that businesses will comply with state regulations that apply to their particular business.
Among the most popular Colorado license bonds that we underwrite are the Colorado auto dealer bond, as well as freight broker bonds, which are required at the federal level. We also regularly underwrite all other types of Colorado license bonds.
The bonding amounts (i.e. the penal sum) of Colorado license bonds may vary from that of similar bonds in other states. Bond amounts are either fixed on a state level, or are determined on a federal level. The Colorado auto dealer bond amount, for example, is $50,000, while the freight broker bond amount is $75,000.
However, this is not the cost of your license bond. The cost is only a percentage of the total amount. Check the section on surety bond cost below for more information.
We also underwrite all types of contract bonds in Colorado, which contractors often need in addition to their license bond on a project-by-project basis. These bonds are almost always required of contractors when they bid to participate in public construction projects. Most private construction jobs in Colorado require contract bonds as well.
These serve as a guarantee that contractors will perform in accordance with a contract’s conditions and state regulations. Read on below to learn how to apply for a Colorado contract bond.
Bryant Surety Bonds also underwrites Colorado court bonds. These bonds are required for appellants in Colorado who want to appeal a judgement. If deemed necessary, a court will order appellants to obtain a supersedeas bond, a type of court bond. Fiduciaries or guardians may be required to obtain a fiduciary bond, another type of court bond, before they can perform their duties.

The cost of your surety bond is based on the amount (or penal sum) of the bond that you need to obtain. The amount of a bond is the amount of coverage that it provides to its obligees if a claim is made against the bond. This is not the same as its cost, though.
The cost that you will need to pay to obtain a Colorado auto dealer bond is a fraction or percentage of its full amount.
Those applicants who have a high credit score are typically offered a premium which is between 1%-4% of the total amount of their Colorado surety bond. The exact percentage varies on the type of bond you are applying for, as well as your status as an applicant.
Those applicants who have a low credit score can usually get bonded regardless. Bryant Surety Bonds has an expert Bad Credit Surety Bond Program, which gives bad credit applicants access to markets on most, if not all, Colorado license bonds. Due to the greater risk involved in bonding these applicants, rates under this program are higher - between 5%-15% of the total amount.
Regardless of their credit status or application, all applicants are offered the lowest rates that we have access to, and are guaranteed the backing of our expert surety partners.
