Surety Bond Insurance Carriers?

As a former general contractor turned insurance agent I can tell you that with the exception of Hartford, HCC and CNA are generally set up for small time bonds, less than $250k. Hartford is a good company, but I can tell you Travelers is by far the best bonding company out there for a couple reasons. One, they tend to offer greater bonding (that means your clients can do bigger jobs and you make more money), and they offer a bigger commission share. I am not sure they would appoint someone new, but you might try them.
 
My client needs a surety bond for his autodealership license, i got a call from cnasurety and told me they don't give surety bonds for new autodealership due to bad reputation and the minimum for them is 3 years experience. Do you guys know any surety company that would issue a surety bond for new autodealership license?

HCC surety and SureTec will both entertain. However it's not easy to get it done without collateral, and good credit.
 
I have 7 sureties if you would like me to try some for you. The auto dealer bond is a tough one though..
 
You have the option of using a broker. In this day in age you will need a Non Standard Market to place bonds for clients with credit issues. Thats where I can help. The company I work for is a Large National surety agency and are one of the only agencies that have an exclusive program for clients with this delima. We have agencts and large Surety Bond Brokers from across the country that utilize us for these risks. Feel free to contact me directly Ryan Rogers 480-947-3555 to get appointed.
