Today, BF Bond / Bernard Fleischer & Sons, Inc. is our dedicated surety bond practice. From license and permit bonds that keep contractors, dealers, and professionals compliant, to the full range of surety bonds businesses require to operate, we match every client with the right bond.
Alongside surety, our agency supports fine-art and commercial insurance solutions through an extensive distribution network, with a research and development committee that turns client and broker feedback into better products.
