Georgia Structured Settlement Purchase Company Bond
Overview
Georgia requires structured settlement purchase companies to carry a surety bond before they can legally operate in the state. This bond holds your company accountable to the financial obligations you take on when purchasing structured settlement payment rights from recipients. If your company fails to perform or causes financial harm, the bond provides a claims pathway for affected parties. It is a condition of doing business in Georgia, not an optional protection.
Who Needs This Bond?
Your company buys structured settlement payment streams from individuals in Georgia and needs state authorization to do it. Any entity engaged in the business of acquiring structured settlement payment rights in Georgia must secure this bond as part of the licensing process. This applies regardless of whether you are a new entrant or an established purchaser expanding into the Georgia market. If your business model involves purchasing these payment rights, this bond is required.
What is this Bond For?
Georgia structured settlement purchase companies handle transactions that directly affect individuals who depend on those future payments for financial security. This bond protects those recipients and the state by guaranteeing your company will meet its legal and contractual obligations throughout each transaction. A valid claim against the bond can arise when your company fails to perform as required under Georgia's structured settlement protection laws. It functions as a financial backstop that gives the state and affected parties a remedy when something goes wrong.
When is it Required?
Before your company conducts any structured settlement purchase transactions in Georgia, this bond must already be in place. You cannot apply for your state authorization and expect to operate while the bond is pending — the bond is part of the approval, not a follow-up step. Renewing or reinstating your authorization also requires a current, active bond. Do not schedule closings or sign purchase agreements until this bond is secured.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Georgia requirement and covers your company's structured settlement purchase activities conducted anywhere within the state. It is issued to satisfy the Georgia regulatory requirement for structured settlement purchase companies and has no bearing on operations in other states. If you purchase payment rights from recipients located in Georgia, this bond applies to those transactions.
