Bonds: What's the Catch?

← All Articles

I gave a client a quote on his collection agency bonds last week and he did a double take, asking “What’s the catch?” The quote was 33% less than what he currently pays. I assured him there was no catch. I am proud of the service and value we provide to our clients, and it goes way beyond bond premiums.

Most bonding companies are not familiar with the statutes and filings unique to collection agency bonds. Unlike typical bonding companies, Cornerstone specializes in collection agency bonds. Cornerstone also shops between multiple surety companies to ensure you receive the best rates available. Salem-License-and-Permit-Surety-Bond (1)
