    Courier Service

    I have a courier service that delivers court documents and some of my clients want to know if I'm bonded. Would this be a type of fidelity bond?

    Yes, it would fall under a Fidelity bond. The Surety company may ask you to be a little more specific when you do apply, as they would like to know exactly what type of documents you will be delivering.

    Courier Service

    Are there certain types of documents the surety isn't willing to cover? We don't deliver any monetary items or anything like that.

    In most cases, the Surety company is very unwilling to approve any type of bond in which an application will be handling cash. This is because handling cash is considered as being "tempting" to the client. The chances of theft or loss are significantly higher and the chances of a Surety company having to pay a claim are much greater whenever cash is being handled.

    So other than cash... are there any other items that could be considered risky?
