Contractors License Bond

What is an LLC Employee/Worker Bond?

Author, Andy Roberts, Account Executive, Surety Division, Rancho Mesa Insurance Services, Inc.

In California, when a contractor opts to organize their business as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) they are required to maintain an LLC Employee/Worker Bond in the amount of $100,000 in order to obtain their Contractors License, per the California Business and Professions Code, Section 7071.6.5. After our clients receive notice of this requirement, we are often asked why this bond is required and what does it protect against.
