As of December 21, 2025, Model Management Companies and Model Management Groups that conduct business, represent models, or are based in New York State, must register with the New York State Department of Labor as part of the 2025 NYS Fashion Workers Act. All registrants must secure a $50,000 surety bond prior to registering in order to register their company.
Bonds Express offers a New York Model Management Company or Group Bond with a 99% approval rate.
A surety bond protects the party requesting the bond, the Obligee, against any financial losses as a result of poor financial decisions, damages, unethical decisions, or a failure to follow state and local laws on the part of you, the Principal. The New York Model Management Group Bond holds you accountable for your business decisions.
By possessing a New York Model Management Company Bond, you are telling your Obligee that you can be trusted as a Principal and that you stand behind your business decisions.
