Some may remember the recent migration of this blog to a new hosting setup. One of the reasons I decided to make the move was so that I could try out new features, one of which is podcasting.
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Josh Kayser, a small business compliance expert with SuretyBonds.com. Josh was gracious enough to indulge me in creating a podcast of that interview and you can listen to it by clicking on the link below. Over the course of the interview we discussed a range of topics relating to surety bonds including: the purpose of surety bonds; the importance of surety bonds to small businesses; the process of obtaining a surety bond; the costs of surety bonds; and what a bondholder must do to maintain a bond.
Businesses use the surety bond as a marketing point to convey a certain image to the public. Advertising the fact that you are bonded will give the customer a sense of trust in you and your company.
