License and Permit Bonds
Westside Bonds provides License and Permit Bonds throughout Los Angeles and all of California. These bonds are a mandatory requirement set by municipalities and public agencies as a condition for granting professional licenses or permits.
A License and Permit Bond serves as a guarantee that the business or individual (the principal) will operate in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Beyond regulatory compliance, these bonds can be structured to provide indemnity guarantees to third parties. This ensures that if a member of the public sustains injury or property damage due to the bonded activity, they are protected.
Example: Businesses that install signs overhanging public sidewalks are frequently required to carry these bonds to provide indemnity for potential injuries to pedestrians.

Understanding Bonds
What Are License & Permit Bonds?
A license and permit bond is a surety bond required by a government agency before a business or individual can obtain a license or permit to operate. It guarantees that the bonded party will comply with applicable laws and regulations. If they violate those terms — through fraud, faulty work, or failure to meet legal requirements — the bond compensates affected customers or the government for resulting damages.
