What is a Washington Business Service Bond?

Learn how a Business Services Bond can improve your business!  

 

Businesses that provide home services by skilled tradespeople are increasingly acquiring a business service bond to:

  • Safeguard the customer in case one of their employees steals a personal property inside the customer’s home
  • Improve their competitive advantage
  • Serve as a marketing tool. By having a Business Service Bond, you are guaranteeing that your employees are dependable and will provide excellent service.
  • Diminishes the risk of business failure
  • Lower the perceived uncertainty that the customers might have. Having a stranger in your home is quite unnerving. Many what-ifs may occur inside a customer’s mind.  You can calm those by letting your potential customers know that they are eligible for monetary claims if such happens.

Even though you go to great lengths to screen potential employees, you may still end up with someone who will ruin your business’ reputation by stealing from your clients. The repercussions would, of course, be detrimental to your success.
