The need to provide guarantees to secure performance and other security requirements can be a major obstacle for contractors tendering for projects. In many cases, they have pledged all available security to a financial institution and may have reached capacity within its agreed facility limit. As surety bonds are generally unsecured they can enhance your working capital and liquidity position without the need to provide tangible security.
The advantages of a surety bond facility can be easily demonstrated using the example of a contractor with a net worth of $3 million winning a contract for $30 million and being required to lodge a bond for $3 million (10% of the contract value). Traditionally, a financial institution would require the contractor to either place at least $3 million on deposit or effect a mortgage/debenture over assets of similar value. As surety bonds are generally unsecured, the contractors’ assets remain unencumbered, and working capital is released to fund future contracts.
