Bonds Central Valley contractors and businesses need to operate
A surety bond isn’t insurance — it’s a guarantee you’ll meet an obligation, backed by a surety. Many California licenses, contracts, and public jobs require one before you can work. Insurance City helps Central Valley contractors and businesses get bonded.
Bonds we help you get
- Contract / performance bonds — guaranteeing you’ll complete a construction job.
- License & permit bonds — including the California contractor license bond.
- Bid bonds — backing your bid on a project.
- Other commercial surety as your licenses and contracts require.
Because a bond is a guarantee, the surety looks at your business and credit — we’ll walk you through what’s needed and place you with the right surety market.

What bonds do California contractors need?
The contractor license bond required by the CSLB, plus bid, performance, and payment bonds for jobs, and other license and permit bonds.
