AmeriPro Surety Bonds:
AmeriPro Surety Bonds provides a brief overview of some of what is required to obtain your Arizona contractor license and surety bond.
Our job is to help you get the surety bond you need at the best pricing.
Qualifying and the Premium
The thing to know about the Arizona contractor bond is that applying will include a credit check as part of the underwriting process. If approved, you may pay anywhere between 1 1/2% of the bond’s amount or 2%. This amount will not be determined by your credit, but by the type of contractor bond.
Our agency only provides this bond for persons with good credit, so beforehand we can tell you that upon approval, your premium will be ‘x-amount.’
Once your contractor surety bond is approved and the premium paid, we issue your surety bond to you immediately. Upon receipt, you’ll sign your bond as Principal, and file it with the other documents sent by our agency (typically at least a Power of Attorney form).
