Designing and delivering a flexible and effective bonding program

One of the most cost effective ways to finance your contract security obligations are surety bonds. We can design and deliver a flexible and effective bonding program, operating alongside your traditional banking lines of credit.

Unlike a bank, surety providers do not require security over your company’s assets and do not require the bonds to be supported by cash or other collateral. This allows you to free up funds, reduce debt and tender for additional contracts.

Surety bonds can also represent a cheaper alternative to bank guarantees with lower base rates and no utilisation or line fees.

Let us help free up your working capital

We have a dedicated team that aim to optimise the use of surety bonds to improve flexibility and profitability for you and your business. With the ability to handle traditional and non-traditional surety with equal ease, we can customise a wide variety of products to free up your working capital, enhance your liquidity and allow you to take on new projects.

Our Products and Services

A surety bond is a written guarantee from a highly rated financial institution, which can be provided in lieu of cash or a bank guarantee as security for the performance of a contract.

We offer a range of surety products including: 

  • Surety bonds

  • Performance bonds

  • Maintenance bonds

  • Bid bonds

  • Advance payment bonds

  • Off-site materials bonds

Cyber Business Interruption Playbook – A guide to response and recovery

For most businesses, technology is the key to efficiency. From the internet and videoconferencing to accounting tools and project management apps, various forms of technology can help to streamline processes, maintain data flow, and reduce operational expenses. But it does not come without risks. Companies that rely on digital interconnectivity are targets for cybercriminals and other disruptions that can delay product deliveries and lead to penalties, lost contracts, or damage to business relationships and reputations. This Cyber Business Interruption Playbook — produced by Lockton in partnership with J.S. Held — provides guidance on how to take a proactive approach to cyber business interruption, which includes risk assessment, insurance coverage, incident response, and recovery planning.
