The Problem Framed for Agents

Bonding capacity is rarely constrained by backlog alone

In many cases, underwriting hesitation is driven by financial presentation and structural issues such as:

 Overstated WIP margins

Weak working capital positioning

 Profit fade masked by billing timing

 Inconsistent job cost reporting

Balance sheet classifications that distort liquidity

"These issues are often correctable, but they require focused financial oversight."

FAQ

Surety Agent FAQs

How does a CFO help increase bonding capacity?

We clean up and maintain the books, WIP schedules, and balance sheet so the financial statements are accurate and on time.

What makes surety underwriters hesitate?

Overstated WIP margins, underbillings that hide job losses, weak working capital, and late or inconsistent financial statements. Most of these issues are correctable.

Do you compete with the bond agent?

No. We do not sell bonds or insurance. We strengthen the contractor’s financial reporting so you can bring a stronger submission to the surety.

Which contractors are a good fit?

Commercial subcontractors, trade contractors, and general contractors with $5M to $50M in annual revenue, anywhere in the U.S.
