Contract surety comprises 40 percent of our book of business and includes bid,
performance and payment bonds.
Within the contract segment, our goal is to target contractors that have annual
revenue between $2 million and $15 million. We provide lines of credit up to $5
million (single) and $10 million (aggregate). We also provide most agents with
a line of credit that they can use to serve the normal day-to-day needs of
their contractor customers. In keeping with our approach, we consider larger
projects on a case-by-case basis with particular attention paid to the
contractor’s experience, financial condition and management expertise.
We are relationship-based underwriters. We are focused on individual customers,
their financial condition and their future plans. We work best when we can meet
with our clients, understand how they manage their business and agree on a
future direction that makes sense. From our considerable experience with
contractors, we know what works and what doesn’t.
We provide timely and thorough service, and we strive to add value to our clients
and agents by counseling them on business plan formation, CPA selection,
organizational controls and project profitability management. In short, we work
to form strong and lasting relationships that stand the test of time.
