Performance Bond Expertise for Real Contractor Requirements

We arrange straightforward Performance Bonds every day, but complex surety requirements are a particular area of expertise.

Established Contractors Competitive terms for established businesses with ongoing bonding needs.
New Companies and SPVs New entities can be supported where the wider structure makes the risk acceptable.
Previously Declined Different sureties have different appetites and another market may take a different view.
Negative Net Assets Negative net assets do not automatically prevent a Performance Bond being arranged.
Unusual Wording Conditional, on demand, hybrid and bespoke wording requirements can be reviewed.
Urgent Requirements Tight contract timescales can often be prioritised where the information is available.

Comparing Performance Bond Quotes?

Price matters, but make sure you are comparing the same commercial offer.

USE SB&G

We Compare the Whole Bond

  • The total bond fee and additional charges
  • The proposed surety
  • The bond wording
  • Cash collateral requirements
  • Personal guarantees
  • Parent company support
  • Expiry and extension provisions
  • Beneficiary acceptance
BEWARE

A Lower Fee Can Mean Different Terms

  • A different surety may be proposed
  • The bond wording may have changed
  • Additional collateral may be required
  • A personal guarantee may have been introduced
  • Extra amendment or extension charges may apply
  • The employer may not accept the proposed surety
  • The cheaper option may not be truly like for like
A cheaper quote can be an excellent result. It should simply be compared on the whole commercial proposition, not the headline fee alone.

Common Performance Bond Questions

A few quick answers before you submit your enquiry.

How quickly can I get a Performance Bond quote?

Timing depends on the complexity of the requirement and the information available. Straightforward cases may progress quickly, while more complex applications may require additional underwriting information.

What information do you normally need?

We will usually need details of the contractor, contract value, bond value, beneficiary, required wording and contract period. Financial information may also be required by the surety.

Will I need cash collateral or a personal guarantee?

Not necessarily. Security requirements depend on the applicant, contract and surety market. We compare available structures as well as the headline bond fee.

Can you help if another provider has declined my bond?

Potentially. Different surety markets can have different underwriting appetites, so a previous decline does not automatically mean that alternative terms cannot be found.

Can an SPV or new company obtain a Performance Bond?

Potentially. A new company or SPV may be considered where appropriate parent company, group or other support is available and the overall requirement is acceptable to the surety.

Can SB&G compare a quote I already have?

Yes. Email the quote and proposed wording to us and we can compare the price, surety, wording, collateral, guarantees and other material terms before approaching alternative markets where appropriate.
