Choose the plan that suits your needs.

BMC-84


CUSTOMIZED RATES

The BMC-84 is a $75,000 surety bond. Surety bonds are typically paid for on an annual basis as a percentage of the total bond amount. Underwriting and determining the annual premium for these types of bonds may involve several factors: personal credit, business financials, industry experience, cash on hand, and home ownership.

BMC-85


PFA offers three basic plans to cover the $75,000 surety requirement with a BMC-85 Trust Agreement. We are sure that at least one of these plans will suit your needs.


CASH PLAN

You may elect to place $75,000 cash into your trust held with PFA.

 

EXTERNAL LETTER OF CREDIT

You can arrange with your bank or credit union to issue an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit (LOC) naming PFA as the beneficiary in the amount of $75,000 or place some funds in trust with the balance backed by an LOC. If your bank requires the funds to be held with them in a secured instrument, you may find it more cost effective to place the funds directly into the trust to avoid administrative fees. A sample LOC can be provided upon request.

 

INTERNAL LETTER OF CREDIT

This option was expressly created to comply with the 2013 legislation. PFA has obtained a Letter of Credit from a third party Financial Institution insured by the FDIC on your behalf. You will be obligated by an indemnity agreement to reimburse the third party if the LOC is ever drawn upon by the beneficiary. As an added benefit within this option, you may decide to add additional funds toward your own dedicated trust fund to offset your annual fee.
