WHY ARE SURETY BONDS IMPORTANT?

For contractors, obtaining a bond proves solvency and the seriousness of the business. Insurers examine financial and personal documents to assess the contractor’s character, technical capacity and the company’s financial capacity. Project owners gain an additional guarantee that the contractor will meet contractual obligations.

Surety bonds help you manage risk and reduce potential financial losses that result from non-payment or non-performance. They can be invaluable in sectors with higher financial risk, such as construction.

WHAT IS A BID BOND?

If you want to submit services in response to a call for tenders in Quebec, a bid bond offers a reliable way to prove your credibility and good faith and to qualify to deliver the project. The bid bond states that the contractor will contract with the client within the required time. When a company provides bonding, it is committed to honouring its obligations, strengthening the confidence of project owners, suppliers, subcontractors and clients.

Given the importance of securing appropriate surety bonds in Quebec, you may want our surety team to help you with the process and put the odds in your favour.
