J.R. Olsen Bonds & Insurance Brokers Closed

It was a complete surprise to all in the surety industry, as well as J.R. Olsen Bonds employees, that the agency suddenly closed its doors after 30 years in the surety bond and insurance industry. The founder of the agency, Jim Olsen, passed away a couple of years ago leaving a hole in the agency. Mr. Olsen was well liked in the industry, and JW Surety Bonds had a great relationship with Jim Olsen and the rest of J.R. Olsen Bonds & Insurance Brokers.

At one point in the not too distant past, J.R. Olsen Bonds was sending bonds to JW Surety Bonds for issuance, as JW Surety is the largest privately owned surety agency in the U.S.

J.R. Olsen Bonds was writing over $1,000,000 in surety premium business with JW Surety Bonds due to our exclusive bond programs, and innovative technology making it easy for consumers and surety sub-brokers to obtain bonds.
