Partner With Amistad Bail Bonds
You got licensed. Now it's time to actually build something.
Partnering with Amistad means you're not doing this alone. You get the surety backing, competitive contract rates, real business infrastructure, and the day-to-day support to write bonds, protect yourself from liability, and grow a bail bond business that holds up long term.
For licensed bail bond agents in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
What No One Tells You After You Get Licensed
Getting licensed is step one. Building a real bail bond business is where most agents struggle — and where most supervising agents leave you to figure it out alone
Most agents try to piece this together alone. Many don't make it past the first two years.
Defendants missing court with no reminder system in place
Cosigners going silent when you need them most
Bond contracts and indemnity agreements handled inconsistently
No professional website or phone presence to capture calls you're missing
No one to call when a forfeiture hits or a defendant stops responding
Competing against established agencies with nothing built behind you
A Bail Bond Agent Partnership Built Around Your Growth
At Amistad, we are a licensed Managing General Agent (MGA) appointed by Allegheny Casualty Company — AM Best A-Excellent rated, founded in 1936, and part of one of the largest surety groups in the country.
Allegheny is the paper behind every bond we write. We are the licensed professionals authorized to put that power to work in the field — in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
And we didn't stop there. Amistad is also appointed to write immigration bonds nationwide through Allegheny — with direct access to the federal eBonds portal through U.S. Department of Homeland Security. That access requires federal background clearance. Not every MGA has it.
Our established Build-Up Fund, our surety relationship, and our years writing bonds give our partners the backing, the rates, and the credibility to write bonds with confidence and build a business that holds up.
We invest in our agents because when you grow, we grow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Managing General Agent (MGA)?
A Managing General Agent is a licensed bail bond professional appointed by an admitted surety company to write bonds and bring other licensed agents under their umbrella. Allegheny Casualty Company is the financial strength behind every bond — Amistad's principal holds the MGA license and is authorized to put that power to work in the field.
Do I need perfect credit to partner with Amistad?
No. Every contract is built around your individual situation — your experience, your credit, your financials, and your assets.
What is a Build-Up Fund and why does it matter?
A Build-Up Fund (BUF) is a reserve account held in trust by the surety — funded by a percentage of every bond you write. It protects your contract with the surety and MGA if you fall short of your obligations. The more it builds, the more confident you can be posting larger bonds, taking on higher risk, and growing your business. It belongs to you — and when your contract ends with all obligations satisfied, it comes back to you. At Amistad, your BUF is opened at Merrill Edge from day one. Most MGAs keep that contribution. We don't.
I'm already licensed with my own website and phone. Can I still partner?
Yes. Our operating system works alongside what you already have or replaces it entirely.
What states do you currently support?
We work with licensed bail bond agents in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
What makes Amistad different from other supervising agents or MGAs?
Real surety backing through Allegheny Casualty Company. A contract built around you. A Build-Up Fund from day one at Merrill Edge. 24/7 live support. And access to a complete bail bond operating system — at no cost.
