Surety bond or contract bonds help small businesses guarantee that the work is performed in accordance with contract terms and that subcontractors, and suppliers, are paid in a timely and accurately manner. Many public and private contracts require surety bonds, which are offered by surety companies. The SBA guarantees surety bonds for certain surety companies, which allows the companies to offer surety bonds to small businesses that might not meet the criteria for other sureties. Join this webinar to learn more about the SBA’s SBG Program and the benefits of this program to your business.
