How Does an Illinois Solicitor License Bond Work? 

A solicitor surety bond bind three parties in a legal contract: 

  • Principal: The business or individual purchasing the bond to sell goods in Illinois
  • Obligee: The Illinois local government office requiring the bond
  • Surety: The company issuing the bond to the solicitor

As a solicitor, if your actions cause damages or financial loss, harmed parties can file a claim on bond. For example, if a merchant is fraudulent and does not deliver goods as promised, a customer can file a claim for reimbursement from the surety.
