Transfer Bail Bonds? What are they and how do they work?

Okay, so I'm here in Johnson City, TN and I just received a call from a lady in Brevard County, FL. She has a friend that is down there for a wedding but he resides in Chattanooga, TN. Of course I advised her that I could not write his bond because we only do bonds in specific counties here. I did tell her I would try to help. I searched the internet for around 15 minutes and found a company http://americannationalbail.com. I spoke with this company agent on the phone and he advised he might be able to do a transfer bond for her.

My questions are, how does this work, who can do it, and how do you go about getting into the business of doing it?

Thanks.

Florida Transfer Bonds :

On occasion, a bondsman may desire to post a bond for a defendant who is in jail in a different state or in a Florida county where the bondsman is not registered. In that case, a limited surety agent may request that his or her surety company have the bond written by a licensed agent in the same state or county as the defendant. The posting agent is, of course, entitled to be compensated for his or her time. Therefore: Rule 4-221.105 forbids the bondsman to accept any other consideration on the bond (collateral is not considered consideration, of course) except that the bondsman may collect a transfer fee, not to exceed $100.00 per defendant, if the bond is posted by a bondsman in a different county or state from the originating bondsman.
Florida Statute 648.43(3) also requires the bondsman who is posting a transfer bond to indicate in writing on the bond the name and address of the referring bondsman.
