Carpet Cleaner Fidelity Bond

Carpet cleaning contractors that offer on premises residential and commercial services can benefit from a fidelity bond. The coverage is an inexpensive way to offer protection to consumers and legally advertise as a "bonded cleaning company". This type of crime coverage is often referred to as a "third party fidelity bond" or "dishonesty bond". Third party fidelity bonds may be written on a blanket basis that cover all clients or client/contract-specific basis for a financial institution or high net worth individual that requires dishonesty coverage as part of their vendor requirements. A fidelity bond covers the dishonest acts of employees that provide services "on the premises" of clients. Employee theft of client property is common. Approximately seventy five percent of retail and labor employees steal from their employers or employer's clients at some point. Those losses often account for a painful portion a firm's total income. Your carpet cleaning business may be vulnerable to losses like these.

• According to Fox News, An employee of a carpet cleaner was charged with grand theft and dealing in stolen property after walking out with an expensive watch from a customer. ("Carpet cleaner accused of cleaning out customer in Naples", Fox 4.

Background and reference checks are helpful practices however there is no guarantee that a cleaning service will not commit a dishonest act. One large loss can zero a handyman company's total annual income or worse. A client lawsuit against a contractor can result in bankruptcy and irreparable reputation damage.
