SBA Bond Guarantee Program
General Information about the SBA Bond Guarantee Program
The SBA Bond Guarantee Program was developed by the Federal Government to help small to medium and emerging contractors gain more access to surety bonds. Surety bonds are required on many projects at many government levels as well as some private construction projects. In order to obtain a bond a surety must underwrite the performance capabilities and financial strength of a contractor. The SBA Bond Guarantee Program is designed to limit the risk to a surety on contractors that fit in the program. This generally allows a surety bond underwriter to approve more bonds for smaller contractors that might not have otherwise qualified on their own for bonding.
Contractor steps to enter the SBA Bond Guarantee Program
- CCI Surety will determine if the contractor qualifies for the SBA Program based on the size of the contractor and the size of the project among other factors
- CCI Surety will provide any documents required to enter the program during the underwriting process and throughout the contractor’s time in the program
- The contractor is not required to be involved in any other SBA Programs
- CCI Surety will provide invoicing, collection and payment for any required SBA Fees
