Overview

What is a custom surety solution?

Not every contractual requirement maps neatly onto a bid, performance, advance payment, retention or payment bond. Custom surety solutions cover situations where the beneficiary, wording, amount or conditions need to be adapted to the contract.

Because these requests vary, they are assessed case by case. Our team helps you explain the requirement clearly to surety providers and explore whether and how it can be met. Whether a provider agrees, and on what terms, is its own decision after underwriting.
