What this bond does

G.S. 87-43.2(a)(4) calls for financial-capacity evidence with an initial intermediate license application. This statement verifies ability to furnish performance bonds for projects above the limited-license project value limit.

Who needs it
Firms making an initial application for a North Carolina intermediate electrical contractor license and using a bonding ability statement as financial-capacity evidence.
Who it protects
The statement is evidence for the licensing Board. It does not secure payment or performance on a customer's project, and it does not by itself establish eligibility for a license.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Match the intermediate classification

For an initial intermediate electrical contractor license application, the statute calls for a statement from a bonding company licensed in North Carolina verifying ability to furnish performance bonds for projects above the limited-license threshold. Alternative financial information may be submitted for the Board's evaluation and specific approval.

The statement must be submitted in the exact name of the license you are applying for. If your business operates as a sole proprietorship, the documentation may be submitted in either the business name or your personal name, provided that the sole proprietorship status is verified with the Board.

Start the statement application

The intermediate statement and the separately offered unlimited statement address different project-value thresholds. Select the intermediate offering when that matches your intended license classification; no dollar threshold is inferred here.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab to start the statement application. Keep the proposed license name and classification ready. Starting the application does not issue a project bond or grant the electrical license.

Submit the issued statement with the license application

Once you obtain your bonding ability verification from a licensed surety provider, you must file it directly with the North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors as part of your licensing packet. Ensure the name on the document matches your official application records to avoid processing delays.

Keep qualified-individual and other license application details with the statement. The statute separately requires an authorized owner or officer to agree to report additions to or loss of listed qualified individuals within five days; buying the statement does not complete those licensing duties.

Questions about this bond

Is this document a performance bond for my project?

No. This is an ability statement used for license qualification purposes only; it does not replace the specific performance bonds you may need to secure for individual construction projects.

Can I use my personal name if I am a sole proprietor?

Yes, provided you also supply information to the Board verifying your status as the sole proprietor of the firm.

What happens if I do not provide this statement?

You may alternatively submit other financial information that demonstrates your ability to engage in projects for the classification you are seeking, subject to the Board's approval.

Does this document guarantee I will be issued a license?

No. The statement supplies financial-capacity evidence. Qualified-individual and other licensing conditions remain subject to the Board's review; alternative financial information requires its specific approval.
