Performance Bond Insurance
Performance Bond insurance is a policy issued to Contractors to guarantee against the failure of the other party to
meet obligations specified in a contract. It is designed to protect the main contractor if the sub contractor fails
to construct according to the specifications in the contract, the project/property owner is guaranteed compensation
for any monetary loss.
Payment from the performance bond is available only to the project/property owner. No one else can make claims against
it. In order for a performance bond to be effective, the contract must be specific about the work to be done. A contractor
cannot be held accountable for vague descriptions that are open to interpretation.
The Bond will generally be as a percentage of a contract value and as an indemnity to the main contractor at the sub
contractors own expense.
An example of where a Performance bond may be required: A contractor may issue a bond to a client for whom a building
is being constructed. If the contractor fails to construct the building according to the specifications laid out by
the contract, the client is guaranteed compensation for any monetary loss.
There are many types of Credit Insurance policy and Performance Bond Insurance available that can be tailored
to your own particular requirements, to discuss in more detail or for more information please contact our
