Grow your business by protecting your clients! Get bonded today!
A janitorial Service business is lucrative, but it comes with major risks. One of which is theft.
Theft is a very serious matter that can jolt the very core of a business. There are some detrimental outcomes that will take a toll on your business dealings with both your current and potential clients because of this.
Employee theft can happen even if you’re extra vigilant, and even if the employee possesses a clean track record. And that’s why as a safety net, many companies in the aforementioned industry opt to procure a Janitorial Service Bond.
A Texas Janitorial Service Bond is a type of Business Service Bond that aims to protect the Janitorial Service Company’s clients in case one of its employees commits misconduct such as stealing while inside the client’s home.
The key people or entities involved in the bond are the following:
- Principal – the Janitorial Service Company
- Obligee – the Janitorial Service Company’s client
- Surety - the surety bond company that will issue the bond
The principal will purchase the surety bond for the protection of the obligee in case a dishonest act happens. If one of the Janitorial Service Company’s employees is accused of theft and has been found guilty of such based on some substantial evidence, the obligee may post a claim against the surety bond. The claim will be settled by the bond’s conditions.
