Surety bonds for California licenses and contracts
A surety bond is a promise, backed by a surety company, that you'll do what your license or contract requires. If you don't, the bond pays the people it protects and you pay the surety back. It protects them, not you.

Bond questions
What's the difference between a surety bond and insurance?
Insurance protects you. A surety bond protects the people your license or contract is meant to protect. If the bond pays a claim, you pay the surety back.
Who needs an H-2A labor contractor bond?
H-2A labor contractors. The U.S. Department of Labor requires the bond before an H-2A labor contractor can bring in H-2A workers.
Is an H-2A bond the same as a California FLC bond?
No. The H-2A bond is federal, and the FLC bond is required by the state for an FLC license. Many contractors need both.
