You can purchase business insurance and bonding through an insurance broker which can be found online or by a referral from a friend who also owns a business.
It is easy to purchase insurance but bonding can be more difficult as bonding is a form of credit. If you have poor credit, you may want to pull your credit and work out any credit issues before you try to apply for bonding.
The process of getting insurance or bonding are both basically the same, fill out applications which the broker submits to different carriers to get you quotes. You review the quotes, select which ones you want, then sign all the forms and cut a check for the insurance broker to buy the bonds or policies for you.

∙ 14y agoBonded and insured are two completely different processes. Being bonded means you have been prequalified by a surety company to perform the duties in your license or contract. It is a three party agreement between the surety, the principal, and the obligee whereas insurance is only two parties. Surety bonds are more like a credit facility than an insurance policy.
To obtain a bond, contact a surety agent that is familiar with the bonding process. There will be an underwriting process associated with obtaining the surety bond but the surety agent will be able to assist you with more detailed information.
