Surety Expertise Goes Beyond Finding a Price

Surety underwriting is not simply a comparison exercise. The applicant's financial position, contract structure, bond wording, security requirements and the way the case is presented can all influence whether a surety will support a requirement and on what terms.

Our role is to understand the complete requirement before approaching appropriate markets. This can be particularly important where a contractor has been declined elsewhere, involves a new company or SPV, or requires non-standard wording.

Real-World Surety Experience

When Traditional Surety Markets Declined, We Found Another Route

A contractor required an ABI Performance Bond for a £5 million design-and-build contract delivered through a newly formed SPV. Traditional markets were uncomfortable with the structure and requested additional security.

SB&G reviewed the wider group, contract position and financial information and approached an alternative surety market experienced in assessing non-standard structures.
