How much does a trade school blanket bond cost in Maine?
The State of Maine’s Department of Education requires private business, trade and technical schools to post blanket surety bonds in amounts equal to 10% of the school’s gross receipts from tuition in the 12 months prior to issuance or $20,000, whichever is greater. Applicants should verify their required bond amount with the department prior to bonding.
These bonds are subject to underwriting, so the price you’ll pay for your bond depends not only on your required amount of bond coverage but also on a review of your personal credit report. Because these bonds are school-related, most surety underwriting companies require current business financials and a personal financial statement during the underwriting process.

Why do I need this bond?
Maine occupational school bonds are put in place to ensure that principals (school operators) and their solicitors faithfully perform their contracts and agreements with students. The bond protects students from financial loss that occurs as a result of the principal’s acts of fraud or misrepresentation, including the school’s failure to provide contracted services that have already been paid for by students.
