A notary bond provides protection for clients and customers, not the notary public. While your clients and customers can be reimbursed from your notary bond (up to the limits of the bond’s value), it does not protect you from further legal action. If you are sued by a client, your notary bond will not cover legal expenses, such as attorney’s fees, court costs, settlements, or judgements. These can easily total in the thousands of dollars (or more) and can be financially devastating for a small business. A Professional Liability policy will cover these costs, helping preserve your business accounts and ability to continue working.
