Thinking a license bond is about your work quality
Most contractors believe the Arizona Contractor License Bond guarantees their project performance. It doesn't. This bond is a financial guarantee to the state that you will follow licensing laws, pay owed taxes, and cover certain public liabilities from your business operations. The part most applicants underestimate is the personal credit check. Underwriters review your credit to assess the risk you'll default on the bond's financial obligation, not your skill as a contractor. A low score doesn't automatically disqualify you, but it directly impacts your premium rate and the speed of approval.
- The bond protects the public and state, not your client's project outcome.
- Your personal credit score is the primary factor determining your bond premium.
- You are personally liable for any claims paid by the surety on your bond.
