Any bonding company may look at you as a new owner and say, "wow, great credit, but based on your experience level, you only qualify for a $100,000 bond line"
The company and it's bond line is more determined by the corporate profitability, and net worth. This is why your current surety is shying away. I would say that new ownership may not be your fix...........  |
So are you saying that there is a possibility that a company would still let me bond(up to $100k) even though I have a lack of experience. What kind of percentage would they normally charge in a high risk situation like this? Do you pay that fee as soon as you get the job? How much do they charge for a bid bond? How long is the process to get qualified? Thanks for your help.
