AN OPERATING NETWORK OF LICENSED BAIL AGENCIES · POWERED BY BUTLER SOLUTIONS

The bail network, run like an enterprise.

One licensed operating network — sharing 24/7 intake, technology, compliance, and the one thing you cannot buy: organic reach. Keep your license, your name, and your relationships. Plug into the back office of an operation ten times your size.

• Licensed MI + OH
• Since 1982
• 24/7/365 intake
• 3,143 counties reached

THE EDGE YOU CANNOT BUY

Google and Meta banned bail advertising. Organic is the only way in — and we already own it.

• banned since 2018

Since 2018, paid acquisition — Search, Display, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram — has been closed to bail. Every other local business buys growth. You cannot. That leaves one channel: organic search, Google Business Profile, and referral — slow and expensive to build alone.

Butler already operates a national organic engine — warrant.guru, stopmyarrest.com, and inmate.solutions — reaching all 3,143 U.S. counties. The network brings you the calls your competitors are legally barred from advertising for.

• 3,143U.S. counties reached organically
• 0Dollars of paid bail ads anyone can run
• 1National organic engine, already ranking

And because a bail book can only be bought or joined by a licensed agent, a licensed, well-capitalized MI + OH operator is one of the very few qualified partners a retiring or overwhelmed owner can turn to.

THE PLATFORM

Eight pillars. One back office. Your name stays on the door.

• 01

  Partnership & acquisition

  A rare qualified buyer. Because only a licensed agent can acquire a bail book, we are one of the few partners a retiring or overwhelmed owner can actually sell to — or join.

• 02

  Central 24/7 intake

  Never miss the 3 a.m. call. Licensed, always-on intake so a two-person shop stops losing bonds to voicemail and the next name on the jail list.

• 03

  Shared CCAI voice & SMS

  AI-assisted voice and text that answers, qualifies, and books — then hands a warm, fully documented lead to your agent, day or night.

• 04

  Bail Core licensing

  The platform of record: CRM, e-sign, court-date reminders, defendant check-ins, skip-trace, and forfeiture monitoring under one roof — not five stitched-together subscriptions.

• 05

  Compliance & document processing

  Court registration, appointment paperwork with each surety, continuing-education tracking against each state’s renewal cycle, and BUF bookkeeping — handled by a back office that does this all day.

• 06

  Centralized marketing & attribution

  The organic and Google Business Profile engine, reputation and review systems, and clean attribution — so you see exactly which calls the network sent you.

• 07

  Statewide & national referral

  A licensed referral network among appointed agents, plus transfer-bond reach so you can serve customers well outside your immediate area.

• 08

  Powered by Butler Solutions

  The same software umbrella behind Butler’s accounting, investigations, and organic properties — enterprise engineering applied to a trade that has never had it.

FOUR WAYS TO PLUG IN

One conversation. Whatever fits your agency.

• Lowest commitment

  Flat-fee shared services

  No equity change. A straightforward subscription for the technology stack, 24/7 intake, and marketing — the simplest way to start, and the way most agencies do.

• Clean exit

  Acquisition

  Sell the book to a licensed buyer. A clean exit for an asset that is otherwise notoriously hard to sell — because your buyer pool is limited to other licensed agents.

• Structured with counsel

  Powered-by affiliation

  Keep your license and your name. Plug into shared intake, technology, marketing, and surety capacity; economics are shared as producer compensation between appointed, licensed agents — structured with insurance counsel.

• For owners with no successor

  Succession & exit runway

  Affiliate now, transition the book over time, and monetize what would otherwise walk out the door when you retire. A runway, not a cliff.

WE SPEAK THE BUSINESS

Surety, MGA, general agent, bail agent — and the override that runs the field.

1. SuretyThe admitted insurer that backs the bond. Nine companies control the ~30 sureties behind an estimated ~$14B in bonds written annually.
2. Managing general agent (MGA)A general agent granted the broadest delegated authority — binds the surety’s paper, appoints other agents, and manages forfeitures.
3. General agentRuns a book under that authority — holds the qualifying power of attorney, appoints local agents, and manages the build-up fund.
4. Local bail agentYou. The licensed agent who writes the bond at 2 a.m. and is responsible for getting the defendant to court.

• BUF · build-up fund
• Qualifying power of attorney
• Surety appointment
• Transfer bond
• The override

The override — the general agency’s share of premium on the bonds its appointed agents write — is the field’s revenue engine. In the network it is structured with insurance counsel to move only as producer compensation between licensed, appointed agents. Never a rebate. Never a payment to anyone unlicensed.
