Questions about this bond
Does every commercial financing provider need this broker bond?
No. The law distinguishes a provider from a broker and lists exemptions. Match the actual activity to the Division's registration request.
Does a regular employee need a separate bond?
Section427.300(5)(7) exempts regular employees acting within the scope of employment for a broker that has complied with the provision.
Is there a right to recover unlimited damages?
No. The express bond provision limits aggregate surety liability to actual damages up to the bond sum. It is not blanket repayment protection or a general right to collect regulatory penalties.
Does the January renewal date set my purchased bond term?
It sets the broker registration renewal deadline. Match the accepted bond's effective period and continuation requirements separately.
