When are build-up funds required to be submitted?

Build-up funds are typically required to be submitted upon the termination of the agent's contract. This requirement ensures that any outstanding obligations related to the bond are settled properly. When an agent's contract ends, it is crucial to account for and manage the funds tied to the surety bond effectively, as these funds may be needed to cover any liabilities or claims that arise from the guarantees the agent provided while the contract was active.

This process is essential in the bail bond industry, as it protects both the surety company and the agent from potential financial risks associated with the bonds issued. Managing build-up funds at this stage helps facilitate a smooth transition and can assist in preventing disputes regarding financial responsibilities after the working relationship has ended.
