Bryant Surety Bonds is a leading surety bond provider in the US. We write all types of surety bonds, including license bonds, permit bonds, and contract bonds.
Founded in 2007 and licensed in all 50 states, we’ve helped more than 120,000 businesses get bonded. As a Managing General Underwriter working directly with more than 20 A-rated, T-listed carriers, we offer competitive pricing without a middleman, while keeping the process simple.
In 2023, Bryant Surety Bonds became part of Risk Strategies, and in 2025, Risk Strategies joined Brown & Brown, one of the largest insurance brokerages in the world. That backing gives us access to more markets and specialty programs than we could offer on our own.
If you need a surety bond for your license or for a new construction project, we’re here to help — get your quote in minutes.
Bryant Surety Bonds is part of Risk Strategies, a national specialty insurance brokerage, which itself became part of Brown & Brown in 2025. Founded in 1939, Brown & Brown now operates more than 700 locations and employs over 23,000 people worldwide.
For our clients, this means more behind every bond we offer: stronger carrier relationships, more capacity to support larger or more complex bonds, and the stability of a company that will still be here for your renewal next year and the years after that.
Bryant Surety Bonds operates as a Managing General Underwriter (MGU), meaning we hold underwriting authority directly from our carrier partners instead of routing through a separate underwriting company. In practice, that gives you:
There’s no middleman between you and the companies backing your bonds — which means fewer steps and more competitive pricing for you.
Because we work directly with many top carriers in the US, and we place a high volume of bonds, we can shop your bond across multiple markets to find a competitive rate for your specific situation.
With Bryant Surety Bonds, the price of many license and permit bonds starts at 0.5%-0.75% of the bond amount for applicants with good credit scores. If there's a way to lower your premium, whether that's a different carrier, an adjustment to your application, or a specialty program you qualify for, your agent will find it and walk you through your options.
Our bad credit program is built for applicants who've been declined elsewhere, or who are worried they will be.
We've helped thousands of business owners with all types of credit history get bonded. The high volume of bonds we underwrite has allowed us to develop a special program with some of our carriers for applicants with problematic credit history. We’ve managed to get 99% of businesses approved, and we only run a soft credit check, so applying won't affect your score.
We write all types of surety bonds in all 50 states, from common license and permit bonds to complex contract bonds. Our clients range from first-time business owners getting licensed as a freight broker, contractor, auto dealer, or mortgage broker, to established contracting companies bidding on their next public or private project.
Some of the commercial bonds we're asked about most are freight broker bonds, contractor license bonds, auto dealer bonds, mortgage broker bonds, and more.
Common contract bonds we provide are bid bonds, performance bonds, and payment bonds.

Getting bonded is fast. Many bonds are approved instantly, and most others are quoted within hours. There are three main steps to get your bond:
The application takes a few minutes. If we need more information, an agent will follow up by phone.
Once approved, your quote will be sent to your email address as soon as it's ready.
Once you pay, your bond certificate is emailed immediately.
If a claim is ever filed against your bond, you're not on your own. Most surety agencies stop at the sale, but our agents actively assist clients through the claims process itself, from understanding what's being claimed to working toward a resolution.
What we offer, and what it means for you.
As a Managing General Underwriter (MGU) we have the authority to underwrite bonds in-house, meaning we can directly quote and issue your bond.
We work directly with the top carriers in the US. We don't route your bond through a separate underwriting company, so you get pricing without a middleman markup.
We are licensed to write surety bonds in all 50 states, so wherever your business operates, you get the same direct process, low pricing, and customer support.
With our bad credit program and other specialty options, applicants get approved and bonded even when credit history or unique circumstances would get them declined elsewhere.
Our easy online application allows many commercial surety bonds to be approved instantly and the rest are typically quoted within hours.
