Areas We Serve Calgary Red Deer Fort McMurray What’s Surety Insurance and how do Surety Bonds work? A surety bond isn’t typical business insurance for a few reasons: It involves 3 parties. It’s paid out to a client, not to your business. You are required to pay back the entire amount of the bond to your surety provider. The 3 parties are your business (the principal), the surety, and your client (the obligee). There are three common types of surety bonds: Contract Surety Bond Ensures the obligations of a construction contract/project will be met. Commercial Surety Bond Ensures compliance to all required codes (if your company requires a specific license to operate). Court Surety Bond Helps cover losses in the event of a court proceeding. A contract surety is the most relevant to the construction and manufacturing industries. In this type of surety coverage, a bond is purchased by contractors to cover any remaining and consequential costs of a contract where your company is unable to fulfill the full terms and conditions. The client will receive bonds to complete the project and reduce their financial loss. These bonds can include: Performance Bond – guarantees that the principal will perform its obligations. Labour and Material Payment Bond – guarantees that the principal will pay its subcontractors and suppliers. There are also bonds available for the tendering stage of contract acquisition. These are evidence to a potential client that you are qualified for the contract and will likely be able to obtain the required bonds if you win the bid for the project. Who needs Surety Insurance & Bonds? If you’re a contractor, you may require bonds. They are most common in the construction industry but are also found in manufacturing and other types of businesses, too. You may need bonds as your client may require it. This is most commonly found in government projects but private clients may also stipulate that all contractors have bonds. If you’re looking to win a project bid, having bonds for the tendering stage may make you look like a more appealing, trustworthy candidate. As bonds protect the potential client (it’s essentially insurance for your customer), it gives them peace of mind. We provide surety bonds to the following industries: Construction Manufacturing Suppliers Other types of contracts Contact one of our surety insurance brokers in Calgary today for more information. How much does a Surety Bond cost? The cost of a bond depends on which one you choose and which surety insurance provider you go with, as there are many different cost structures. Generally, you pay between 1-15% of the total coverage provided by the bond. The higher the risk, the more you’ll pay. Construction bonds are often on the higher end as they’re considered to be riskier. Your bond rate is determined by the following: The type of bond Length of the bond obligation The value of the bond Your risk level as an applicant including your financial history, credit score, business revenue, ability to complete the bond obligation, experience, licenses, et cetera A surety insurance broker will be able to help you balance your coverage needs with your budget, as well as answer any questions you may have regarding your surety bond in Calgary.
