Nevada Health Club and Spa Bonds


What is a Nevada Health Club or Spa Bond?

Dance studios and health clubs in Nevada are required to make one or more security deposits in order to legally operate their business in the state.

One of the most economical solutions for providing this security deposit is purchasing a surety bond.

A surety bond is a legal contract that acts as a guarantee that you will:

  • Follow all rules, regulations, and laws for operating a dance studio or health club in Nevada
  • Fulfill all promises of services regarding customer deposits and monthly dues

And this surety bond will fulfill the Nevada's Department of Business and Industry's required security deposit without tying up the large amount of required money.

Who Is Required To Purchase a Dance Studio and/or Health Club Surety Bond in Nevada?

Every dance studio or healthy club must register with the Nevada Department of Business and Industry before advertising its services.

One of the requirements for registration is providing a security deposit based on:

  • The number of memberships
  • Whether your studio offers pre-sales of lessons, sessions, or memberships

If you've had a dance studio or health club prior to October 1, 2001 that did not have to provide a security deposit, you do not have to provide one now.

But you must obtain acknowledgment from each member and post notice in your facility.

 

What Are The Security Deposit Amounts?

Here are the different monetary levels for this security deposit:

Membership Level Bond Amount
Less than 400 $10,000
400 to less than 800 $15,000
800 to less than 1,200 $20,000
1,200 to less than 1,500 $25,000
1,500 to less than 4,000 $35,000
4,000 to less than 25,000 $50,000
25,000 and up $250,000

If you're studio or facility pre-sells memberships, sessions, or lessons, you must provide a $100,000 security deposit.

This $100,000 security deposit can be larger if your facility has more than 25,000 members.

 

How Does a Surety Bond Satisfy This Security Deposit?

You can satisfy this deposit using a:

  • Letter or credit
  • Security deposit
  • Surety bond

A surety bond will allow you to pay a small fraction of the required deposit, while the other options will require you to provide the full amount.

You'll learn about how the cost is determined in a minute.

Why is a Nevada Health Club or Spa Bond Required?

Its unfortunate, but every year there are facilities who will purposefully harm their customers to increase profits:

  • Stealing from customer deposits
  • Charging for fraudulent deposits
  • Mismanaging fees and prepaid fees for memberships

Its because of these fraudulent facilities that the Nevada Department of Business and Industry requires new dance studios and health clubs to provide these funds.

If a dance studio or health facility is found guilty of purposefully mismanaging custom funds, the customer and/or customers can make a claim against the security deposit or surety bond for financial compensation.

The amount of compensation is limited by the amount of the deposit of surety bond.



How Much Does a Nevada Dance Studio or Health Club Bond Cost?

Remember, when you purchase a surety bond, you only have to pay a small fraction of the security deposit amount.

This small price is determined by a rate quoted from a surety.

A surety is an insurance company that underwrites surety bonds. And every surety will perform their own assessment of an applicant using factors such as:

  • The personal credit of the owner or owners
  • Business industry and experience
  • Prior bond claims if they exist

Based on these factors the surety will quote a rate.

Surety Bond Price Examples

Some of the lower priced bonds from $25,000 down to $10,000 can be purchased for a low fixed price with zero credit check. Ask your bond specialist about these bond amounts for specifics.

Let's use the $100,000 bond for our price examples. Remember this is the bond you need if you pre-sell memberships or sessions.

Notice how a 1% to 2% change in the rate can make a huge different in the cost of the bond.

Bond Amount Premium Rate Total Cost
$100,000 0.05% $500
$100,000 1.0% $1,000
$100,000 1.5% $1,500
$100,000 2.0% $2,000

How Long Does Nevada Health Club Surety Bond Last?

This dance studio and/or healthy club surety bond has a bond term of 12 months from the bonds effective date.

The effective date is the "active" date you choose when you purchase your bond.

Once you pay for your bond, our bond issuance team will prepare your bond:

  • On the correct bond form
  • With the required signatures
  • All the required seals
  • And the power of attorney

This process typically only takes 1 business day to complete.

Because the Nevada's Department of Business and Industry will accept a copy of the surety bond, we're able to email it to you.

This speeds the process up. If you need a physical copy of the bond, we can mail it to you.

As your renewal date approaches, your bond specialist will contact you 30 to 45 days in advance to remind you the expiration date is approaching.

To renew your bond and keep it active, you only need to pay the renewal premium. It's a fast and easy process.

Health Club or Spa Bonds And Getting Your Nevada Business License/Registration

Getting your dance studio or health club registered is not a lengthy process. It mainly consists of these steps:

  • Complete the Application for Registration
  • Complete the Business Practices Questionnaire
  • Pay the administrative fee of $25
  • Provide the required security deposit (surety bond is the best option)
  • Provide your business license and Certificate of Good Standing
  • Pay required fees to the Nevada Consumer Affairs unit

And during each calendar year you must update your total membership on a quarterly basis and adjust your security deposit to match any new dollar amounts.
