California contractors that hold their license as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) must carry a separate $100,000 LLC Employee/Worker Bond in addition to the standard $25,000 license bond.
Why the LLC bond exists
This bond specifically protects an LLC contractor's employees. It provides a source of recovery for unpaid wages, including fringe benefits and contributions, if the company fails to pay what its workers are owed.
Two bonds, not one: an LLC contractor generally needs both the $25,000 license bond and the $100,000 worker bond to maintain an active license.
What it costs
Because the limit is higher, the worker bond is priced separately from the license bond. Your rate still depends on credit and business profile, and we shop multiple sureties to keep it competitive. Many contractors bundle both bonds in a single application.
Get both bonds in one step
- Apply once with your LLC and license details.
- We quote the $25,000 license bond and $100,000 worker bond together.
- Bind and receive documentation ready for the CSLB.
