What you can do before you apply for a Surety Bond

All successful construction companies have a great relationship with their surety bond producer.  This relationship helps the contractor bid on any construction job which needs a surety bond. But waiting on a surety bond approval may prove to be frustrating.

Below, we have outlined things you can do to help speed along the process:

Information about your key employees. This may include an organization chart of their responsibilities and detailed resumes.

A business plan, this should include the type and size of work wanted, prospects for the work, your company’s geographic home base and growth and profit objectives.

Submit current WIP (work in progress) schedule, examples of the largest and most impressive jobs completed to date.  It is helpful to include the owner’s names and address, the contract price, date of completion and the profit earned.

A Line of Credit, to show a Plan B in case of delayed funding.

Letters of Recommendation, especially from subcontractors, owners, architects and engineers who have worked and completed jobs with you.

Providing this information to the surety bond producer will help approval of your surety bond progress smoothly and quickly.
