What Is Bonds?
At Oklahoma Insurance Group, we offer a variety of bonds tailored to meet the needs of our clients — and through our partnerships with Propeller Bonds and RLI, most are available 24/7 so you can apply and bind at your own convenience. License and permit bonds guarantee your business will comply with the laws and regulations of a municipality or governing body, and are often required to operate in specific cities or states. ERISA bonds are required by the IRS of any business providing employees a 401(k), profit sharing, or pension plan, covering ten percent of plan assets. We also handle notary bonds, public official bonds, business services bonds that protect you if an employee steals from a client's home or business, and bid bonds that assure a project owner you have the financial backing and commitment to complete the project if selected.
Why Bonds Matters
A bond is usually the last piece of paper standing between you and a license, a contract, or a job start date — and waiting days for one can cost you the work. Unlike insurance, a bond is a guarantee to a third party that you'll perform, and having a bond partner who can issue quickly keeps your business moving. We've made the process fast enough that a bond requirement never has to slow you down.
Who Needs Bonds?
Contractors bidding public or private work, trades that need license or permit bonds to operate, notaries, appointed or elected officials who handle public funds, service businesses whose employees work inside customers' homes, and any employer offering a 401(k) or pension plan. If a form, contract, or statute says 'bond required,' that's us.

Local Considerations
Oklahoma municipalities and state licensing boards each have their own bond requirements, and contractors working across the Norman and OKC metro area often need several at once. Because our bond portal runs 24/7, you can apply and bind the night before a bid opens instead of waiting on office hours. We do all the leg work on the odd ones, too.

Client Stories
★★★★★
Oklahoma Insurance Group has handled my small business insurance for over 11 years. They handle workers comp, general liability, and automobile insurance (we have about 10 vehicles insured at any one time). One of the great things about OIG is that every year like clockwork (without me having to ask) they are shopping my coverage and checking rates to get up the best balance between coverage and price. For our upcoming, they were able to reduce our auto by switching companies by over $41K. This is serious savings and allows us to continue our steady growth here in Oklahoma City and pass those savings on to our customers. It is also great that they can handle my personal stuff as well. Home insurance, automobile (inlcuding motorcycle). They shop those policies every year as well. One stop shop for me. And when I need them for a claim or accident, they walk me through the process. We are proud to partner with Russ and the crew at Oklahoma Insurance Group. Justin
★★★★★
We have had a great experience with Russ and his group. He found us the commercial insurance policy we wanted that others couldn't get. He is also very quick to respond which is greatly appreciated. We recommend this group for your insurance needs.
★★★★★
Russ was awesome to talk to about our insurance. He found gaps in our policy that would have hurt us in a claim situation. Our coverage now is top notch thanks to Russ and his team. We highly recommend calling them for any insurance needs commercial or residential. Thanks again Russ
★★★★★
We had Russ review our commercial insurance policies and he found several gaps in coverage that left us exposed financially. Russ explained everything thoroughly and saved us a ton of money! We feel much more comfortable with Russ on our side. From a business stand point. You are losing money by not giving them a chance.
★★★★★
Jovy and Russ and the folks at OIG are always friendly professional and available to answer questions. We have always received prompt service and competitive insurance pricing for our investment property.
