Every policy has exclusions. These are the ones clients ask about most for this type of cover. Exact terms always depend on the insurer and your specific policy wording.
Contractors and suppliers who issue bonds regularly and want to keep bank facilities available for funding.
Bank guarantees usually use up your borrowing limit; surety bonds generally don't, which can make a real difference when you're bidding for several projects at once.
A contractor bidding for three public projects had nearly used up its bank guarantee line. A surety bonding facility covered all three bonds and left the bank line free.
What you gain by arranging this cover through a broker instead of buying it direct.
We approach the insurers on our panel that write this class of cover and bring their terms back side by side.
We read the limits, excesses and exclusions for you, so nothing in the small print catches you out later.
If you need to claim, we deal with the insurer on your behalf and push for a fair, prompt settlement.
