Hillsboro is referred to as Oregon's "silicon valley" or "silicon forest" due to all the high tech businesses. See "Economy" on this Wikipedia page...

The license board here, requires landscapers and tree services to have a bond and insurance to maintain an Oregon license.
Also, if I have credit at a plant nursery, and buy plants and install them, but fail to pay the nursery, then the nursery can go to the bond for some reimbursement.
The bond covers only like $10,000 worth.
