    Hi all,

    So it is my first time filling a bond.

    I have never done it before, so can someone tell me how it is done step by step?

    Thank you

    If you are serious about running your own business then I suggest you learn to do things on your own before expecting others to do your job for you. Your answer is easily found via a simple web search.

    You are right.

    I noticed a few asked the same question.

    I never had to do it (running a few years).
    I found all the info I needed.
    Here is one website for others who need it.

    Just some advise. Before you do a load with a broker research their history. Also research their bond company. Some bond companies are hard to get a hold of. For example, they will have a third-party that answers phone calls. That third-party never sends the message to the bond company. Basically you get the runaround. Happened to me. Hired a collection agency with a lawyer. Finally got it sorted. Sump companies are great to work with. They’ll get a hold of the broker and threaten them and you’ll get a payment pretty quick. But now I look at the bond company just as hard as the broker..
