I am starting a housecleaning business, sole proprietor, no employees. How and where do I get 'bonded' and what (if any) is the difference between being 'bonded' and 'insured'?

Thanks![/QUOTE]

Here is an article that explains it in depth:

You should also contact your local Small Business Association (www.sba.gov) they have a lot of great information and are an excellent resource for a small business owner
