A Maryland Franchisor Surety Bond is a type of financial guarantee bond that is required by the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation to protect franchisees from potential losses due to fraud or malfeasance by a franchisor. The bond guarantees that the franchisor will comply with all laws, regulations, and contractual obligations, and will not engage in any fraudulent activities. It also ensures that the franchisor will make all payments and perform all services as required by the franchise agreement. The Maryland Franchisor Surety Bond is typically required in the amount of $25,000 for each franchise location. There are two types of Maryland Franchisor Surety Bond: the Single Location Surety Bond and the Multi-Location Surety Bond. The Single Location Surety Bond covers a single franchise location and the Multi-Location Surety Bond covers multiple franchise locations. Both types of bonds provide assurance that the franchisor will abide by all laws and regulations and fulfill all contractual obligations.
