Continuous Contractor Surety Bonds for Contractors

A continuous contractor surety bond is a bond that remains in effect until it is canceled, rather than expiring automatically at the end of a fixed term. Contractors often use these bonds to satisfy licensing, permit, or compliance obligations. The bond generally guarantees that the contractor will follow applicable rules, regulations, and obligations required by the obligee.

Contractors may need a continuous surety bond when a licensing board, municipality, project owner, or regulatory authority requires proof of financial accountability. These bonds are commonly used for contractor compliance obligations and may apply to corporations, LLCs, LLPs, or other business structures. Atlantic Coast Surety reviews company and owner information to help identify the right bond solution.

Atlantic Coast Surety provides contractor compliance bonds for bond amounts of $50,000 or less. Bonds in excess of $25,000 are subject to a credit check as part of the underwriting process. The required bond amount is typically set by the obligee, such as a licensing authority, municipality, or other entity requiring the bond.

Applicants typically provide company information such as the legal name as it appears on the corporate seal, street address, tax ID, phone number, and email. Owner information may also be required, including name, Social Security number, and home address. This information helps the surety evaluate eligibility, verify identity, and complete underwriting efficiently.

For contractor compliance bonds handled by Atlantic Coast Surety, bonds over $25,000 are subject to a credit check. Underwriting may include authorization to review corporate or personal credit reports. Credit is one factor used to determine eligibility and market fit, along with the requested bond amount, business structure, and application details.
