State Requirements

Health Club Surety Bond Overview

The health club bond is a financial guarantee bond, required by many state governments of gyms and health clubs that collect payment of their members for services up-front.

The bond is in place to protect the members of the club, should the club not fulfill their end of the prepaid membership. It guarantees that health clubs, massage studios and even self-defense clubs will fulfill their obligations, and that if they don’t, a claim can be made against their bond.

The cost of your health club bond is a percentage of the full bond amount. This percentage is determined by sureties, based on the applicant’s financial status. Since health club bonds are a type of financial guarantee bond, sureties are usually more strict when setting rates.

Factors which are taken into account by sureties are:

  • Personal credit score
  • Applicant’s assets
  • Business and personal financial statements
  • Applicant industry experience

Standard Markets

Personal credit score is by far the most important factor that influences surety bond rates. This is so because personal credit score reflects an applicant’s financial stability.

Applicants with a high credit score can expect to receive a quote which is between 1%-3% of the total bond amount. These are so-called standard market rates.

The rate of your bond also depends on the surety bond agency you are working with. Bryant Surety Bonds has extensive experience with underwriting health club bonds in all states which require them. We are able to find the best and lowest rates on surety bonds, because of our long partnerships with a number of the best surety bond companies in the country.
