surety bond supports and protects the contractual obligations you have entered into with a customer, supplier or partner.

It is a contractual triangle relationship between you, the surety bond company (us) and the third party requiring the bond, in which we financially guarantee to your party that you will abide by the terms established by the bond.
  1. Need identification: You contact us and explain your need, linked to providing security in support of a contract.
  2. Documentation: We ensure documentation is complete and make it the cornerstone of the relationship between all parties.
  3. Risk analysis: You provide complete information for review, and our team of underwriters shares insight and advice.
  4. Bond facility set-up: We agree on the final surety  bond facility structure and ensure it is established quickly.
  5. Fulfilled obligations: If you fulfil your specified obligations, northing further happens and the bond will eventually expire. 
  6. In case of a filed claim: We will investigate the claim, determine if it is valid and follow up with you on next steps.


In the event of non-performance of the specified obligations, we are there to provide compensation for loss and damage.
