How does a Utah Cannabis Production Establishment Performance Bond work?

There are 3 parties to a performance bond:

 

The Cannabis Production Establishment will be the Principal of the bond. The Principal is the person obligated to perform tasks that are dictated by the relevant laws of the State and the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food.

 

The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food is the Obligee of the bond. The Obligee will be the beneficiary of the bond.

 

The Surety is the institution that will provide this surety bond. The Surety will guarantee the compliance of the Principal to its obligations. The Surety will also guarantee the payment of any valid bond claim to the Obligee.

 

Under the terms of the indemnity agreement, if a claim has been paid by the Surety, the Principal must repay the Surety soon after.

 

How much does a Utah Cannabis Production Establishment Performance Bond cost?

The bond cost or bond premium will be a small percentage of the bond amount. The bond premium will depend on the Principal’s credit score.

 

If the Principal has an excellent credit score, the bond premium can be as little as 1% of the bond amount.
