Competitive Rates – Among the Lowest Available
SCP offers two sets of rates for the $12,500 bond:
- Preferred Rate for contractors licensed 4 or more years:
$134 for one year and $204 for two years
|
- Standard Rate for contractors licensed less than 4 years:
$180 for one year and $249 for two years
|
- No “surprise” premium increases due to a contractor’s credit history.
Claims Handling
Your California Contractor’s License is only as safe as the experience of the surety that bonds your license.
- SCP has more years of claims handling experience than any other surety company – by far.
- This is crucial to you because the less experienced surety may make
“convenience” payments on invalid claims, which can result in loss of license and
reimbursement of the surety’s loss and expense payments. SCP will not, because,
unlike other surety companies, we are well aware of
the sometimes harsh consequences of license bond payments.
