Is There a Difference Between a Janitorial Bond and a Cleaning Service Bond?

No. Both janitorial bonds and cleaning business bonds are a type of surety bond called a fidelity bond or business service bond.

These types of fidelity bonds are utilized by numerous types of businesses outside of the janitorial and cleaning industries. In fact, any business that enters a private homeowners residence or a commercial office building typically purchases a fidelity or business service bond.

Why is a Janitorial service Bond Required if Businesses are Insured?

Good question.

From the homeowner or business owner's perspective, it's a liability having individuals they've never met on their private property and around computers and other valuables.

Homeowners purchase home insurance to protect against theft, damage, and natural disaster. Businesses purchase commercial renters insurance to protect against theft, damage, even loss of revenue required property is damaged.

Yet, paying for the liability of theft and damage caused by a hired service provider's employees is something the homeowner and commercial business should not have to take on. This is why business service bonds exist.

Janitorial and cleaning service businesses pay for this liability and in turn show they are legitimate businesses that vets and hires quality employees.

If an employee steals or causes property damage, the homeowner or commercial business client can make a claim against the janitorial bond up to the bond amount, never higher.

Do You Need a License for a Cleaning Business?

There is not official cleaning business license. However some states (or cities) may required your janitor/cleaning business to obtain a standard business license.

This business license has nothing to do with getting bonded. A business license registers a business with the state (or city) so that applicable taxes are paid.
