We have your financial obligations covered:
Surety Bonds are the most efficient and cost effective way to finance your contract security obligations and are widely accepted by the private sector, federal, state and local municipalities.
Addressing the needs of large contractors:
FREE UP YOUR ASSETS
A surety bond is unsecured (i.e. no tangible security required) versus the typical ‘secured position’ of a bank.
IMPROVE YOUR LIQUIDITY
A surety bond allows you greater financial flexibility, by allowing your organisation to leverage your capital base (i.e. better utilisation of your balance sheet), thus enhancing working capital and opportunities to improve liquidity.
Surety bonds remove the need to have contingent liability (i.e. lazy capital) on your balance sheet.
REMOVE GROWTH CONSTRAINTS
Surety bonds help overcome the current ‘rationing’ of credit by financial institutions.
Contractors can take on more projects without being restricted by security requirements.
ENJOY GREATER FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY
Surety bonds are a genuine alternative to traditional secured guarantee bank facilities.
They are designed to deliver a flexible and effective bonding program, operating alongside your traditional banking line of credit.
AS SECURE AS A BANK GUARANTEE
Surety bonds carry an identical wording to a bank guarantee, following the Australian Standards AS2124 document, which is an unconditional and on demand undertaking.
