02  Bonding & Security Types

Bonding & security types

A plain-English overview of bond categories that clients commonly ask about. Whether a particular bond can be sourced depends on independent provider review, the requirements of the beneficiary or obligee, and applicable law.

Bid
Assures the owner that a bidder will sign the contract and provide any required bonds if the bid is accepted.
Performance
Protects the owner if the contractor does not complete the work according to the contract.
Payment
Supports payment of subcontractors, workers and suppliers on the bonded project.
Completion
Gives a lender or owner assurance that a financed project will be finished.
Maintenance
Covers defects in workmanship or materials for a set period after the work is complete.

Discuss Requirements — Industry-specific

Descriptions are general and for information only. Listing a bond type does not mean it is available for a particular client or transaction. Availability, terms and eligibility are determined solely by independent providers and the relevant beneficiary or obligee.

03  Additional Financial Resources

Additional financial resources

Beyond surety bonds, some requirements call for a different instrument. Each of the following is a distinct instrument with its own purpose, issuer and requirements.

Private underwriting referrals

Introductions to independent private underwriters for requirements that fall outside standard programs. Whether a privately underwritten bond is acceptable is decided by the relevant beneficiary or obligee.

Discuss Requirements — Private underwriting referrals

Payment guarantees

An undertaking from an independent third party supporting a specific payment obligation to a named beneficiary, issued on that provider’s own terms and criteria.

Discuss Requirements — Payment guarantees

These are distinct instruments and are not interchangeable. Each is subject to independent provider review, availability and applicable requirements, and none is issued or guaranteed by TKO.

04  Process

A measured, confidential process

Our role is to help you reach the right independent provider and keep communications organized. Approval, issuance, pricing and acceptance are never promised and are decided by the provider and the relevant beneficiary or obligee.

  1. Step 1: Confidential discussion

    A private conversation to understand your requirement, its timing and the party requesting the bond or instrument.

  2. Step 2: Preliminary needs review

    A general review of the information you share to identify which kinds of independent providers may be relevant.

  3. Step 3: Independent provider introduction

    Where appropriate, an introduction to one or more independent providers, who carry out their own assessment.

  4. Step 4: Communication coordination

    Coordination of communications between you and the provider while the provider’s own process runs its course.
