Driving in North Dakota comes with its own set of risks-icy highways on I-94, rural roads where deer crossings are common, and hailstorms that can leave vehicles badly damaged. At Bowerman Insurance Agency, we provide auto insurance in Steele, ND and Bismarck that keeps you protected on every trip. As an independent insurance agency, we shop multiple carriers to find the right balance of coverage and cost for your needs.

Surety Bonds for North Dakota Contractors & Businesses

Guarantees That Help You Win Work

A bond guarantees you'll meet your obligation to an obligee. If you don't, the surety pays and seeks reimbursement from you. Bowerman Insurance Agency sources surety bonds for contractors and businesses across Steele and Bismarck so you can bid, get licensed, and start projects on time.

License, Permit, and Contract Bonds


License & permit bonds help satisfy state or city requirements for trades like plumbing and electrical. Contract bonds-bid, performance, and payment-support construction projects and reassure project owners you'll finish the job and pay subs and suppliers.

Quick Turnarounds and Practical Guidance

For many license bonds, same-day issuance is possible. Larger contract bonds may require financials; we'll help you package submissions for the surety and set appropriate bond lines as your business grows.

Simple Answers for First-Time Applicants

  • Is a bond the same as insurance?

    No-insurance protects you; a bond protects the obligee and you must repay the surety if it pays out.

  • What bond amount do I need?

    It depends on the license or contract; we'll confirm with the obligee's specs.

  • How much does a bond cost?

    Typically a small percentage of the bond amount based on credit and financials.

  • Can you help contractors with bids?

    Yes-we arrange bid, performance, and payment bonds for project compliance.
