SBA BOND GUARANTEE PROGRAM
(For Contract Bonds up to $5,000,000.00)
For Contractors that have potential but don't quite qualify for either our standard market or small performance bond programs, we have access to the SBA Bond Guarantee Program.
We have found this program to be a tremendous help for :
Contractors looking for bonds for projects larger than their surety would allow.
Contractors that have "not perfect" credit.
Contractors that do not have the quality financial statements that the surety requires for the job.
Contractors where the owner has the experience from having worked for someone else, but his present company has not performed the same size work.
Please Provide The Following Documents Upon Submission:
- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: (All financial statements must be signed.)
Current Financial Statement for the company-fiscal year end, six month interim, or quarterly report, whichever is most current. - Fiscal year end reports or tax returns for the last three years.
- If applicable, the last three fiscal year ends on any other business in which any owner has 20% or more ownership.
