A Janitorial Service Bond is obtained by many owners in the aforementioned business field to cover the losses resulting from employee dishonesty.

 

In most bonds, it is the Principal who arranges and pays for the bond. In a Janitorial Service Bond, the owner of the business is the Obligee and will be the one who will apply and pay for the bond.

 

A Janitorial Service Bond is a type of Business Service Bond that aims to protect the Janitorial Service Company and its clients in case one of its employees commits misconduct such as stealing while inside the client’s home or business establishment.

 

A standard Janitorial Service Bond will indemnify the Obligee or the employer and the Janitorial Service clients. Depending on the agreed conditions, the bond may cover personal property belonging to a customer or a direct loss of money.

 

While this bond remains optional, it is also often expected by many customers, and preferred by business owners because it is a modest business investment and easy to procure!

It varies. The bond amount will depend on the number of employees the Janitorial Service Company has, or it can also be based on the owner’s bond amount preference.
