Utah Alcoholic Beverage Manufacturing Bond: Amount and Duration

 

 

 

The Utah alcoholic beverage manufacturing bond is for $10,000 and is issued for one year.

Manufacturers will want to ensure that the bond run concurrently with the manufacturing license so as to prevent any gaps in bond coverage.

Since the license runs for a calendar year beginning in January, this should be relatively easy to remember.

Utah Alcoholic Beverage Manufacturing Bond: Purpose

The purpose of the surety bond is to ensure that the manufacturer will comply with all laws relating to the manufacturing of alcoholic beverages.

As noted on the bond wording itself, the bond protects against wrongful acts committed by the agents, officers, and employees of the manufacturing company.

 

 

 

Utah Alcoholic Beverage Manufacturing Bond: Premium

 

 

 

The premium for this surety bond will only be a small percentage of the bond’s $10,000 face amount.

The premium you will pay, however, will be determined by a “soft pull” credit check.

Even in the most adverse instances, the cost for the bond should be no more than a small percentage of $10,000.00.
