Illinois Surety Bond Requirements for Businesses and Contractors
Illinois has broad surety bond requirements that apply to many licensed industries. Contractors, auto dealers, mortgage brokers, collection agencies, and roofing contractors are among the many professionals who must carry a valid surety bond to operate legally in Illinois. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR), the Secretary of State, and various county and city agencies enforce these requirements. An Illinois surety bond is a legally binding guarantee of your business’s compliance — and an essential step in the Illinois licensing process.
