A Surety Bond Broker, Dealer or Agency is the licensed surety bond company representative through whom you will obtain your surety bond. Most surety bond companies do not work with surety bond principals directly.
Established, quality surety bond brokers will offer many types of surety bonds and will work with several different surety companies to keep the surety bond cost as low as possible. They should also have the proper surety bond license within the state required by the surety bond.
