What is the SBA Bond Guarantee Program

The SBA (Small Business Administration) bond guarantee program was created to assist small businesses in obtaining supply, bid, performance, and payment bonds. Sometimes when you are just starting out, or you just have a smaller business model, it is harder to meet standard bonding requirements due to a lack of equity. The SBA Bond Guarantee Program allows specific surety bond companies to grant bonds to small business owners bidding for bigger jobs. These bonds ensure that the work on the project will be completed to the satisfaction of the Obligee.

The SBA Bond Guarantee Program is one of the many specialty programs that The Surety Place can assist you with. With this program, we are able to offer bonds when others turn you down. If you are a small business owner looking to acquire a bid, performance, or payment, contact us today! Our team is dedicated to helping you find the answers you need and get the bonds required to help grow and secure your business. Our affiliation with the SBA Bond Guarantee Program, sets us apart from other sureties and agencies.

When was the SBA Bond Guarantee Program Created

This specialty surety program was created by the SBA in 1968 after small business owners found it difficult to qualify for bonds needed for large projects. The government requires that both payment and performance bonds are required for any federal contract costing over $100,000. This prevented smaller contractors from being able to win bids for larger projects which in return made it hard for them to expand their company.

How Does the Program Help Small Businesses Grow

Just because you are small, doesn't mean you aren't mighty. Most small business provide the same quality service that any large firm does, but because you don't have large financial backing, it can make it difficult to win bids on projects over $100,000. The SBA Bond Guarantee Program helps small businesses acquire the bonds they need in order to get access to bigger construction projects that will help them grow as a business.

How Does the SBA BGP Work?

The SBA Bond Guarantee Program helps small business owners acquire surety bonds for local, state, federal, and commercial contracts in the area of construction, services, and supply. If you are a contractor planning on bidding on a public (and sometimes private) project that is over $100,000 you will need the help of the surety to acquire a performance and payment bond for the project. Depending on the scope of the contract, your surety bond premium will vary.
