What does "Bondable" mean?

Hello. I have a question about maid services that require their workers to be bondable. I have a Chapter 7 bankruptsy discharge on my background check from a few years ago. Will this debt discharge record keep me from being bonded?

You should ask the bonding company.

You should ask the bonding company.

Thank you, Judge! I'll do just that.

The bonding company wants to make sure that you will not steal anything.

What their standards are for determining that, I have no idea.
