ith so many types of surety bonds available
for individuals and businesses, our clients and
prospective clients can rely on our in-house surety

between the contractor and the surety on all matters. We assist in all
areas of underwriting and financial matters and make certain that the
important lines of communication are kept open between all interested
parties.
Without question, our team is qualified to speak the language of the
surety underwriter and effectively communicate the needs of our
clients, which results in a distinct advantage during the underwriting
process.
We consider our role as the client advocate a serious responsibility and
will continually offer our expertise in the following areas:

• Customized bonding programs to meet specific needs
• Review plans and specifications with specific attention to surety
requirements
• Review of performance and payment bonds for general contractors
and subcontractors
• Contract and subcontract review and advice
• Assist in finding and bonding qualified subcontractors
The importance of in-house surety expertise should not be understated.
Our ability to advocate for our clients on surety requirement matters
puts our clients and prospective clients at a distinct advantage. We
are proud to belong to the small group of brokers who represent the
majority of national sureties, regional sureties, environmental sureties,
and high-risk markets. +
