The CSLB bond is not insurance protecting you
Every licensed California contractor files a $25,000 bond with the CSLB under Business and Professions Code 7071.6, and a lapse suspends the license. That bond is not insurance protecting you. What protects you is general liability, tools and equipment, and workers’ compensation once you have employees. Tell us the trades you perform, your payroll and receipts, and whether you use subcontractors.
