Small Business Administration (SBA) Surety Program

The SBA surety program is offered to qualified contractors who can benefit from this government program with surety guarantees up to $6.5 million on a single project. The SBA program can help contractors grow aggressively as they have much lower ratios for working capital than that of the traditional markets.

The SBA has assisted some of the most successful contractors in the country when traditional surety credit was not available.

Contractors Credit-Based Surety Program

Many carriers that have a simple one page application and indemnity agreement for single projects up to $350,000. We have multiple surety companies who offer credit-based programs which are solely based on the personal credit score of owner(s)/spouse(s). Although this is a great way for a small contractor to be qualified and bid smaller projects, the sureties do typically charge a higher rate because the only qualification is credit.
