The Florida JDBW distributor bond is a type of surety bond required by the Florida Division of Alcohol and Tobacco for individuals and entities seeking to become distributors of beer and wine within the state. This $25,000 bond is required as a financial guarantee to the state and the public that the distributor will operate in accordance with the law, fulfill their financial obligations, and conduct business ethically and responsibly. Should a distributor fail to comply with state regulations or meet their financial obligations, the state can make a claim against the bond to recover losses. The distributor must maintain this surety bond for as long as they hold a license to operate in the state.
This surety bond is necessary for any business entity or individual seeking to legally engage in the wholesale distribution of beer and wine in the state of Florida. Some examples of businesses that would need a Florida JDBW distributor bond include:
Securing this surety bond is a mandatory prerequisite for obtaining a license to operate as a beer and wine distributor in Florida.
The exact cost of a JDBW distributor surety bond, also known as the bond premium, will vary depending on a number of factors. A few factors that could influence the cost of your JDBW bond premium include:
The premium will only be a small percentage of the total bond amount, which is typically $25,000 for a JDBW bond. Applicants with a strong credit history can pay as low as 1% of the total bond amount, meaning their premium would only be $250. The ProSure Group helps you secure the best possible rates by searching across a vast network of surety carriers.
Yes, you can! While a stronger credit score can help applicants secure lower premiums, applicants with credit challenges can still get approved for a JDBW distributor bond. Here at The ProSure Group, we believe applicants should be able to pursue their business goals regardless of their financial situation, which is why we have a bad credit bonding program that caters to applicants with low credit scores, bankruptcies, and other financial challenges.
