SBA Guarantee Program Bonds Information

General Information about the SBA Bond Guarantee Program

The SBA guarantees bid, performance and payment bonds issued by surety companies. This guarantee encourages surety companies to bond small businesses who are having difficulty obtaining bonding on their own. For the past ten years, the Surety Bond program maintained a steady upward trend in every key measure, including the number of bond guarantees issued, contract dollars awarded to small businesses and number of small businesses assisted. To assure continued growth of the program, SBA implemented several enhancements geared toward streamlining the underwriting process and providing easier access for surety companies.

The Quick Bond Guarantee Application can be used for contracts valued at $400,000 or less and reduces the majority of paperwork and other underwriting information required of sureties and small businesses on larger contracts. The Quick App allows SBA and surety companies to issue bonds faster for small businesses.

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.

SBA guarantee program bonds are a written agreement under which one party, called the surety, obligates itself to a second party, called the obligee, to answer for the default of a third party, called the principal. Suretyship is an obligation to pay the debts of, or answer for, the default of another. In the form of bid, performance, and payment bonds contract suretyship provides specific benefits to project owners, contractors, laborers, subcontractors, and suppliers. Most surety contract bonds are written on public works construction projects, which includes federal, state and local projects.

The main types of Construction contrator bonds are: Bid Bonds, Performance Bonds and Payment Bonds

Bid Bonds provide financial assurance that the contractor submitting a bid, if awarded the construction contract, will enter into a formal contract with the owner and will post performance and payment bonds. Most public works, and many private ones, will require bid bonds on the date of the bid.

Performance bonds guarantee that the contractor will fulfill all terms and conditions of the construction contract.

Payment bonds guarantee that the contractor will pay labor and material bills associated with the contract. Laborers, subcontractors, and suppliers receive financial assurance with a payment bond.

Performance Bonds and Payment Bonds (aka Final Bonds) typically need to be issued within 10 days of the award date or prior to any contract payment.

Usually included together performance and payment bonds are two separate bonds required for both public and private construction projects as well as subdivision development projects. Performance and payment bonds are sometimes referred to as a P&P Bond.

Contractor performance bonds are surety bonds issued by a bonding company or bank to guarantee satisfactory completion of a project by a contractor or a subcontractor. Performance bonds safeguard the owner, contractor and the people associated with a construction project, protecting the owner in case the contractor fails to perform and complete the contractual obligations. Payment bonds are a guarantee that the contractor will pay all laborers, material suppliers and contractors per contractual obligations. A surety bond provided by White Lion Bonding & Insurance Services is designed to guarantee a principal’s integrity, honesty, performance, and financial responsibility, as well as maintain compliance with a law or contract.

We specialize in maximizing the bonding capacity for contractors regardless of their trade or specialty and despite how big or small their bond needs might be.
