What is a bond and how do I get it?

A bond is actually an amount that assures your customers that if you close your doors, or go bankrupt, their obligation would be covered by that amount.

There are different types of surety bonds, see here. But I would say that 99% of the time, homeowners choose the Bond Policy option because it is the easiest and cheapest to get. In other words, you are asking an insurer or a financial institution to cover your bond in exchange for a fee of $ X (Usually around $ X)

Here are the steps and documents required:

The 3 documents required are (or 4 if bond):

OPC permit application.
Your bond by your insurance broker
Check to pay the application fee

You will understand that to make your complete application, you must first have made your request for your bond with your insurer or your financial institution.
