Surety BondsCalifornia

Surety bonds for California businesses — from CSLB contractor license bonds to performance, payment and janitorial bonds. Wellington Partners works with multiple surety markets to find the best rate and issues most bonds same day.

Types of Bonds

What Bonds Does Wellington Partners Place?

A surety bond is a three-party agreement guaranteeing that a principal will fulfill an obligation to an obligee. If the principal defaults, the surety pays the claim.

📋
License & Permit Bonds
Required by the state or local government to obtain or maintain a contractor's license. CSLB requires a $25,000 contractor bond in California.
📋
Performance Bonds
Guarantees that a contractor will complete a project according to contract terms — required on most public works projects.
📋
Payment Bonds
Guarantees that a contractor will pay subcontractors, suppliers and laborers — often required alongside performance bonds.
📋
Janitorial Bonds
Protects clients against theft by cleaning service employees — often required by commercial cleaning contracts.
📋
Court & Fiduciary Bonds
Required by courts for executors, guardians, and fiduciaries managing assets on behalf of others.
