Massachusetts Surety Bond Requirements You Need to Know
Massachusetts has strict surety bond requirements for many licensed industries. Home improvement contractors, auto dealers, mortgage brokers, collection agencies, and employment agencies are among the professionals who must carry a state-mandated surety bond. The Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation (OCABR), the Division of Banks, and various other state agencies enforce these requirements. A Massachusetts surety bond is a financial guarantee that your business will comply with all applicable state laws — and that consumers are protected if your business fails to deliver on its obligations.
