We offer a full range of insurance products as well as risk management and control services for businesses in all sectors.

Surety bond

A surety bond is not an insurance policy; instead, it functions as a credit instrument. Its purpose is to shield the beneficiary from the non-fulfillment of an obligation undertaken by the principal debtor.

The construction sector is the industry where surety bonds are most commonly used. The surety assures the owner or project manager that the contractor will carry out the contracted work. A financial guarantee is offered, and the surety will provide it if the contractor fails to meet their commitment.

Benefits :

  • Replaces cash as collateral
  • Represents a good guarantee of execution of a contract
