- 1). Contact a licensed insurance provider that specializes in surety bonds to learn more about monthly premiums and specific criteria such as the minimal annual income needed to qualify for a surety bond. Visit your secretary of state or small business assistance website for a list of licensed surety bond providers.
- 2). Provide a copy of your business plan that outlines your business' organizational structure. Your business plan should include both short- and long-term goals, a description of the goods and services provided and a list of all management positions and duties. Include a copy of the articles of organization or articles of incorporation if your business is registered as a limited liability company or corporation.
