Bonded???

How many of you are bonded and how many times a year are you asked if you are bonded? I looked it up and it's pretty inexpensive and one job will pay for a few years of being bonded but just find it a bit odd that all of a sudden I am getting questioned by residential customers if I am bonded or not. I can understand commercial projects but residential customers asking if I'm bonded?

It is what it is ... and if that's what it takes to win a few customers next year, so be it. Below, I found this in the comments section of an article when I was looking up bonding.

 

"It is a good selling point, more often being the kicker in a customer deciding who to go with than many people may realize.

Other than that, it depends on what kinds of jobs you are after. Almost every city, state, and federal contract requires it, and so do many contractors who do work for them, due to the sensitive nature of many of their products (think defense contractors and such).

Also, many private businesses will require you to have it, if you'll be serving them on off hours, such as when no one is there so as to avoid disturbing their work day.

It's a cheap investment any way you look at it."

Am asked all the time if I am. I tell them I am not and explain why. It's never prevented me from getting a job.

As a building contractor I am and always have been bonded. It may not be necessary as a cleaning contractor but it's cheap and there's no need to explain anything. Most customers probably don't know what it is either but I would imagine it sends the message that you are legit.

Here is a link I sent to another customer just recently , this was a great tool to either learn about the proper bonding info etc. and can be used to educate your customers if need be.

Great little simple videos.

Doug, thanks for taking time to take my call this afternoon and fill me in on bonding issues, terminology and what I need, or should I say what I do not need, to satisfy future customers who inquire about if we are bonded or not. Thanks again for your straight forward and simple answers to my questions that a layman like me could understand (and saving me a few bucks in the long run!)

MD requires us to hold a 25k bond for our MHIC license. Some heavy construction jobs require a bond for the site.
