Minnesota Surety Bond Requirements for Licensed Businesses
Minnesota requires surety bonds for a broad range of licensed industries, including contractors, auto dealers, mortgage originators, health clubs, and collection agencies. The Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, the Department of Commerce, and the Secretary of State’s office all administer bonding requirements for various license types. A Minnesota surety bond is a legally binding commitment — backed by a licensed surety company — that your business will operate ethically and within the bounds of Minnesota law. It’s a critical step in the licensing process and a key consumer protection mechanism throughout the North Star State.
