Account Profiles – Good Experience, Bad Credit

Account Profile – $245,000 Final Bond

An agent approached CCI Surety with a long time Fire Alarm Installation Contractor client that didn’t typically work on bonded projects. Our biggest challenge with this account was the low personal credit scores of both the husband and wife who owned the company.We can often handle accounts that have one or two areas of weakness and we do our best to also identify the positive aspects of accounts. In this case, with a long history of success on projects of similar size and scope, we focused on references. To their credit, all inquiries on their past work came back overwhelmingly positive.

We had verified the performance aspect of the contractor’s capacity but due to the credit situation needed to address the payment security. In this case we used Funds Control to help mitigate payment risks. In the fall of 2015 the project was completed with no claims.

WE MAY BE ABLE TO QUOTE COMPANIES WITH CREDIT SCORE OR OTHER FINANCIAL ISSUES.
