State Bond Information
Ohio has hundreds of surety bond requirements for individuals and businesses operating in the state. Regulatory agencies on the city, county, and state levels mandate bonds as a requirement for the safety and well-being of Ohio's public and environment.
Jet is the third-party guarantor in these three-party agreements allowing those required to procure a bond the ease of working directly with the surety bond company. If a principal (regulated individual/business) doesn't comply with the legalities of their contract, license, permit, etc., anyone financially harmed as a result can file a claim on the principal's surety bond.
For instance, a contractor licensed through the City of Cleveland is performing electrical work and leaves the job incomplete. The contractor is also refusing to fix the work, so the customer feels obligated to file a claim on the electrical contractor's bond to be compensated to have the project finished. As the surety provider, Jet would provide the claim payout and then the electrician is liable to pay Jet back. Read more details about claims in our Surety Bond Claims Guide.
With Jet's streamlined application, most bond types can be applied and paid for in under five minutes. Some bonds with larger bond limits (over $100,000) and riskier bond types (probate bonds) require an underwriter to review the application, but our process is still simple and quick. By going direct with Jet, you eliminate agents and brokers (middlemen) and gain access to a convenient monthly payment option as well as low annual and multi-year rates.
Jet is approved to issue surety bonds in Ohio (NAIC #16379).
