Performance Bonds

Advance Payment Bonds
Offers security when clients make upfront payments to contractors, ensuring responsible use of funds. If the contractor defaults, the bond protects the client against financial loss.
Road and Sewer Bonds
Provides a guarantee from the property developer to complete road and sewer works in line with the relevant Highway Authority or Water Company requirements.
Retention Bonds
Replaces the traditional retention fund, enabling contractors to access their money earlier while still safeguarding the client’s position. Commonly used in construction, Retention Bonds support healthy cash flow and ensure contractual security.
Bid Bonds
Offers assurance during the tendering stage by guaranteeing that the selected contractor will honour their bid and enter into the contract, demonstrating reliability and strengthening the bidding process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a surety bond?
A surety bond is a three-party agreement that ensures the fulfilment of a specific obligation, such as a construction project, customs duty, or contractual commitment. It provides reassurance to the beneficiary that the terms will be met as agreed.
Is a surety bond the same as insurance?
Not quite the same. While both offer financial protection, a surety bond guarantees your performance or payment to a third party. In contrast, insurance is designed to protect your own business or assets.
Who needs a surety bond?
Surety bonds are often required by individuals or businesses needing to provide a financial or contractual guarantee, commonly seen in construction, import/export, legal, and public sector projects.
How much does a surety bond cost?
Bond premiums usually range between 1% and 3% of the total bond value, depending on factors such as your credit profile, the bond type, and the size or scope of the project.
Do I need collateral or a strong credit score?
Not necessarily. We offer flexible underwriting options and support a wide variety of business profiles, including start-ups and companies with limited trading history.
Can AWL Homeproof issue bonds for public sector or international projects?
Absolutely. Our surety bonds are fully accepted by UK government bodies and widely recognised by international agencies and institutions.
