A Missouri health spa bond ensures that workout facilities follow all regulations and fulfill membership contracts.
The Missouri Attorney General requires this type of license and permit bond to protect health spa customers and their prepaid membership fees.
What Bond Amount Do I Need?
Your Missouri health spa bond coverage requirement will vary based on the number of active membership contracts.
| Number of Memberships | Bond Amount |
|---|---|
| <500 | $10,000 |
| 501-1000 | $20,000 |
| 1001+ | $25,000 |
If you have multiple locations, each must file a separate bond in the appropriate amount.

How Does a Missouri Health Spa Bond Work?
A health spa bond creates a legal agreement between three parties:

- Obligee: The Missouri Attorney General
- Surety: The surety company issuing the bond
As the principal, you are responsible for upholding all bond agreements. If you don’t, any party harmed by your actions can file a bond claim up to the coverage amount.
