Overview
Protect your Connecticut business from financial losses caused by employee theft, fraud, or dishonesty with a three-year Dishonesty Bond — and lock in multi-year savings at the same time. This bond pays your business back when a covered employee steals money, forges documents, or misappropriates property. Buying a three-year term means fewer renewals to manage and lower overall cost compared to annual coverage. It is a straightforward, proactive way to guard your bottom line.
Who Needs This Bond?
Employers across Connecticut who give employees access to cash, merchandise, financial accounts, or client property are the core buyers of this bond. Retailers, restaurants, staffing firms, property managers, healthcare practices, and any business with cash-handling or bookkeeping staff all fit that profile. If an employee has unsupervised access to money or valuables, you carry real exposure. This bond transfers that risk off your books.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects your business directly — not a government agency, not a license board. When a covered employee commits theft, embezzlement, forgery, or other acts of dishonesty, the bond provides a financial recovery mechanism for your business. It is not a substitute for internal controls, but it is the financial backstop when those controls fail. The three-year term keeps you covered continuously without annual renewal interruptions.
When is it Required?
Signing a client contract or vendor agreement that requires proof of employee dishonesty coverage is the moment this bond most often becomes mandatory. Some commercial leases, professional service agreements, and financial institution partnerships in Connecticut require it before work can begin. Beyond contractual demands, business owners frequently purchase this bond proactively as soon as they hire their first employee with access to funds. The three-year term satisfies multi-year contract requirements in a single purchase.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide across Connecticut and covers your employees wherever they perform work on behalf of your business within the state. It is not tied to a specific city, county, or municipal license — it travels with your business operations. If your employees work at multiple Connecticut locations or travel between client sites, a single bond covers those exposures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Connecticut Dishonesty Bond cover independent contractors or subcontractors?
Generally, no. A standard employee dishonesty bond covers W-2 employees whom your business directly controls and supervises. Independent contractors and subcontractors are typically excluded because they are not legal employees. If you regularly use 1099 workers who handle your cash or client property, discuss that exposure when purchasing so you select the right coverage structure for your situation.
What information will I need to complete the application for this bond?
You will need your business name, legal structure, and Connecticut business address, along with the number of employees who will be covered and the bond amount required by your contract or chosen for risk management purposes. Most standard dishonesty bond applications at common coverage amounts do not require audited financials. Having your current employee count and desired coverage limit ready before you start will let you complete the application in a single sitting.
What happens to my three-year bond if I hire more employees or reduce my workforce mid-term?
The bond amount you purchased at the start of the term remains in effect for the full three years regardless of employee headcount changes — the bond does not automatically adjust. If your workforce grows significantly and your exposure increases beyond your original coverage limit, you should consider requesting an endorsement to increase the bond amount rather than waiting for renewal. Conversely, if you reduce staff dramatically, your coverage stays in place at the original limit, and you can right-size at renewal.
What happens after I click Buy This Bond Online?
You'll open the My Bond App portal in a new tab where you can complete the secure online bond application and finish your purchase. Your Bond Titan tab stays open so you can come back and keep browsing.
