Michigan — Collection Agency (Corporation Or LLC) Bond
Use the corporation or LLC option for the legal entity seeking Michigan collection agency licensing, not in place of its manager's individual credentials. Match the company name, licensed office and LARA's required security. Whether the business is owner-managed or non-owner-managed is a separate licensing question from its corporate or LLC form.

What this bond does
Michigan's collection agency bond secures faithful accounting for money collected on accounts placed with the licensee. Section 339.907 protects against wrongful taking, failure to report and failure to remit. It does not guarantee that a debtor pays or insure every corporate business loss.
- Who needs it
- Corporations and limited liability companies applying for or maintaining a Michigan collection agency license. Identify the actual principal and each licensed place of business. A company's officer, member or manager should not be substituted for the entity merely because that person signs the application.
- Who it protects
- Section 339.907 benefits people harmed by wrongful taking or failures to report or remit collection money and allows an injured person to proceed on the bond. The surety's aggregate liability is limited to the bond amount. The statutory range is $5,000 to $50,000; LARA's rules determine the amount for the business and require a higher minimum for repossession activity.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Does an LLC automatically use an owner-managed license?
The catalog's legal-entity label does not decide LARA's management classification. Check who actually manages the business and the applicable licensing guide. A non-owner-managed agency needs its active licensed non-owner manager before agency licensing.
Does the three-year license mean a three-year bond amount?
The current non-owner-managed guide separates its three-year license cycle from the Annual Report of Business and Operations and the later business-based security calculation. Match the actual bond dates and required amount rather than assuming one fixed amount for the entire license cycle.
Can the corporation's bond replace the manager's license?
No. The agency's security and the manager's individual licensing requirements serve different purposes. Each separate place of business also needs its own agency license; identify the office and applicant on the filing request.
