Overview
Get bonded in New Hampshire and give your clients, partners, and vendors written proof that your business stands behind its people. A dishonesty bond covers direct financial losses caused by the fraudulent or dishonest acts of your employees — theft of money, property, or assets belonging to your business or its clients. For New Hampshire employers who handle client funds, manage inventory, or send staff into customer locations, this bond closes a real gap that general liability policies typically leave open. It runs for one year and can be renewed as your business continues.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you run a New Hampshire business where employees have access to cash, checks, inventory, client property, or financial accounts, this bond is built for your situation. Retail operations, cleaning companies, property managers, courier services, home care agencies, and any employer with unsupervised cash-handling staff are all strong candidates. Client contracts and vendor agreements in New Hampshire increasingly require proof of employee dishonesty coverage before work can begin. If you've been asked to produce a fidelity bond or dishonesty bond as a condition of a contract, this is the product that satisfies that requirement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to cover losses that result from deliberate dishonest or fraudulent acts by your employees — primarily theft. If an employee steals money from a client's home, skims cash from a register, or diverts a payment intended for your business, the bond provides a recovery path for the damaged party. For New Hampshire employers, distinguishing who the protected party is matters: if the bond is protecting your clients from your employees, it functions as a third-party fidelity bond; if it protects your business's own assets, it functions as employee dishonesty coverage. Either way, the trigger is intentional employee wrongdoing, not accidents or general negligence.
When is it Required?
Renewal timing matters with this bond — coverage is written on a one-year term, and gaps in coverage leave the businesses and clients you serve unprotected. Many New Hampshire vendor agreements, janitorial contracts, and property management service agreements require continuous, uninterrupted fidelity coverage as a condition of staying on an approved vendor list. Some employers add this bond proactively before a contract requires it, because waiting until a contract is in hand can delay the start of work. Whether you're renewing an existing bond or purchasing for the first time, the one-year structure means you should calendar your renewal date and act before it lapses.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide across New Hampshire and is not tied to any single city or county license requirement. Coverage follows your employees wherever they perform work for your business within the state. If your operations extend into other states, separate bonds or endorsements may be needed for those jurisdictions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if a theft is discovered after my bond term ends but the dishonest act happened while the bond was active?
Fidelity bonds are typically written on a loss-sustained basis, meaning the loss must be discovered during the active policy period — not necessarily when the theft occurred. If your bond has expired by the time you discover the theft, you may not be covered even if the act happened while the bond was in force. This is why maintaining continuous, uninterrupted coverage is important: some bonds include a discovery period that extends a window beyond the term's end, but you should confirm what your specific bond form allows. Renewing before your term lapses is the safest way to preserve your recovery options.
How should I decide what bond limit to choose relative to a client contract or vendor agreement?
Start with the requirement written into your contract. If a client or vendor specifies a minimum bond amount — for example, 'must maintain a $25,000 fidelity bond' — that number is your floor, not a suggestion. If no specific amount is stated, consider the maximum value of assets, cash, or property a single employee could access at any one time. For cleaning companies, that might be the value of contents in a client's home or office; for cash-handling retail staff, it might be the size of a cash drawer or daily deposit. The bond limit is the maximum any single claim can recover, so set it at a level that would actually make a harmed client whole.
Does this bond cover independent contractors or subcontractors who work for my New Hampshire business?
Standard dishonesty bonds cover employees — workers under your direct employment relationship. Independent contractors and subcontractors are typically excluded unless the bond is specifically endorsed to include them. If you use 1099 workers, day laborers, or third-party subcontractors who have access to client property or business assets, review your bond form carefully. If coverage for non-employees is required by a client contract, you may need to request an endorsement at the time of purchase or ask your contracting party whether separate bonding of the subcontractor satisfies their requirement.
