Which of the following is NOT a requirement for a bondsman’s business operation?

Maintaining a physical office
Employing a licensed attorney
Keeping accurate records of transactions
Conducting business during normal hours

The correct answer is: Employing a licensed attorney

A bondsman’s business operation must adhere to several key requirements to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory standards. While having a physical office, maintaining accurate transaction records, and conducting business during regular hours are indeed necessary elements for a bondsman to operate effectively and within the confines of the law, employing a licensed attorney is not universally mandated. In many jurisdictions, including Florida, a bail bondsman can operate independently without the requirement of having a licensed attorney on staff. However, they must ensure that they are knowledgeable about pertinent legal statutes and act within the legal framework established for bail bonds. This legal independence allows bondsmen to provide services to clients without the direct involvement of an attorney, making it possible for them to manage their operations autonomously while still being held accountable for their actions. By having these structures in place — a physical office, accurate record-keeping, and adherence to business hours — a bondsman can instill confidence in their clients and ensure that they are compliant with state regulations.
