How Much Does a Georgia Surety Bond Cost?
A Georgia surety bond generally costs 1% - 5% of the total required bond amount. This small percentage is known as a bond rate or bond premium.
The bond rate that an individual or business qualifies for is mainly influenced by their credit score. However, past bonding history, industry experience, assets, and other financials may also be factored in.
