Surety Bonds
Can an LLC Get a Surety Bond?
Yes — LLCs obtain surety bonds the same way sole proprietors and corporations do. The bond is typically issued in the LLC’s name, and most sureties still require personal indemnity from the LLC’s principals.

Can an LLC get a surety bond for contractor licensing?
Forming an LLC doesn’t eliminate personal liability in surety bonding. Sureties almost universally require personal indemnity from the LLC’s members/owners — meaning you personally guarantee reimbursement of any claim, regardless of the LLC structure.
The bond itself is issued in the LLC’s name and satisfies licensing requirements for the LLC. Your personal credit and financial strength still determine the rate and availability.
If the LLC has multiple members, all owners typically must sign the indemnity agreement. This is standard practice — the surety wants personal guarantees from everyone with an ownership stake.
