Your approach to issuing small commercial surety bonds online and via email is excellent and has been very well received by clients. Further, it has streamlined our work in that space, freeing up capacity for our larger and complex cases.
I love the ease of the system - that I can issue bonds on behalf of the client or send them a link and have them do it. I love that you have thousands of bonds in your database. I feel comfortable talking to a client across the country because you probably have the bond form that they need.
