Questions about this bond
Can any retail liquor business use this class?
Use the class in the actual request. The specialty label is not evidence of general retail eligibility.
Does this bond include liquor liability insurance?
No. The surety bond secures the obligation described in its form. Liquor liability coverage addresses a different risk and must be arranged separately.
