⚡ TL;DR

The SBA backs 90% of your bond, so sureties say yes to contracts they'd normally decline. You pay a standard premium, no extra collateral. Eligible contracts up to $9M (state/local/private) or $14M (federal). Call Matt Lawson, Head Underwriter, at (762) 499-0237 to see if you qualify.

What Is It?

A federal program that backs surety bonds for small contractors who can’t qualify in the standard market. The SBA doesn’t issue bonds. It guarantees up to 90% of the surety’s loss if a contractor defaults, which dramatically reduces the surety’s risk and lets them write bonds they otherwise wouldn’t.
