What changes for a broker.

  1. The surety bond is the distinguishing feature. Registration is a form; a bond is an underwriting process with a third party, and it takes longer than brokers expect.
  2. At $100 to register and $50 to renew, the fee is not the barrier — the bond and the lead time are.
  3. The bond exists so a wronged merchant has something to claim against. That is worth understanding before assuming it is a formality.
