How much does a postsecondary education institutions bond cost in Tennessee?
In-state postsecondary educational institutions must post a $10,000 bond, while out-of-state establishments must post a $20,000 bond.
The cost of a postsecondary educational institution's surety bond depends directly on the type of institution the applicant operates, combined with the strength of their financial credentials, but highly qualified applicants are typically approved for as little as 1% of the bond amount.
Because this surety bond is school-related, most surety underwriting companies require additional financial credentials to underwrite it. Having your current business financials and a personal financial statement handy when you speak with a SuretyBonds.com surety specialist will help speed up the bonding process.
