Having a Surety Bond doesn’t just free up capital; it frees up security and uses the business’s balance sheet strength, as opposed to property equity or dollar-for-dollar cash.

If you don’t want to tie up equity or cash, talk to us to see if you qualify for a surety bond. It is a great product to help your business grow.

Businesses in the contacting industry mostly require a bond or bank guarantee, however, businesses in other sectors can use Surety Bonds including:
  • Construction
  • Engineering
  • Energy
  • Project finance deals
  • Infrastructure
  • Telecommunications
  • Support services
  • Transportation
  • Other sectors where bond is required
