Guarantees
Explained
Insurance guarantees are a form of financial security issued to a third party to protect them in the event that a contracting party fails to meet its contractual or financial obligations.
These guarantees play a vital role in business transactions — not only mitigating counterparty risk, but also enabling businesses to unlock opportunities, secure contracts, and build trust in commercial relationships.
"I’m proud of the exceptional value we deliver through our comprehensive insurance guarantees. Our job is to carry the risk so our clients can focus on what they do best. Each guarantee isn’t just a financial safety net — it’s a reflection of our client’s strength, credibility, and ambition". - Brandon Fuchsloch

Bid bond Guarantee
A bid bond guarantee is a type of guarantee insurance that is used to ensure that a contractor will fulfill its obligations if it is awarded a contract. The bond amount is typically 10% of the contract price. If the contractor fails to fulfill its obligations, the surety company will reimburse the project owner for the losses incurred.
