What is a Solicitor?

A Solicitor is any person who conducts, plans, manages, or carries on drives or campaigns for charitable organizations. They are also sometimes referred to as a Professional Solicitor or a Professional Fundraiser. Depending on the state, the definition of a professional solicitor may vary. In some cases, fundraising consultants, counselors, and grant writers may be considered professional solicitors.

 

What is the Placentia City Solicitor Bond?

Government entities, such as Placentia City, require parties that act as professional fundraisers or solicitors to secure a Solicitor Bond. It is a type of license and permit bond that acts as a pre-requirement for solicitors to obtain their license to perform any form of fundraising campaigns. The Placentia City Solicitor Bond protects the consumers (solicited parties) and the recipient of the designated fundraising such as charities or religious organizations. It ensures that the funds appropriately go to the right party in case of any complication.

 

How does it work?

For fundraisers to receive their license to solicit, they must purchase and file a Solicitor Bond with the City of Placentia. The surety bond carrier that issues the Placentia City Solicitor Bond must be certified by the California Department of Insurance. The parties in the agreement are typically the Principal (business or property owner), Obligee (City of Placentia), and Surety/Bond Company or Obligor (surety bond provider or insurance).

 

Under the bond, the Principal or business owner agrees to provide compensation to the Obligee (City of Placentia) should they fail to comply with terms and conditions. The role of the Obligor is to guarantee that the compensation takes place. The Obligor will assess the validity of claims, where claims may only amount to the total penal sum agreed upon in the bond form. The Principal shall reimburse all expenses covered by the Obligor.

 

The Obligor is secured through an indemnity agreement as the licensed business is mandated by law for the full reimbursement of the claims, including legal fees and premiums. This agreement shall be made before the execution of the bond and shall ascertain the business's responsibility over their dealings.

 

How much does it cost?

Depending on the business owner’s experience, credit score, and license history, the City of Placentia Solicitor Bond may cost around 0.5% of the total bond amount.
