Surety bonds

A Surety Bond is a viable alternative to bank guarantees or level of credit.

Having a Surety Bond doesn’t just free up capital; it frees up security and uses the business’s balance sheet strength, as opposed to property equity or dollar-for-dollar cash.

Businesses in the contacting industry mostly require a bond or bank guarantee. However, businesses in other sectors can use Surety Bonds including:
  • Construction
  • Engineering
  • Energy
  • Project finance deals
  • Infrastructure
  • Telecommunications
  • Support services
  • Transportation
  • Other sectors where bond is required

Banking facilities

Transactional banking facilities are a requirement for any business, whether for your main daily trading bank account, cash management account, merchant facilities or payments, online banking solutions or international trade solutions.

Some businesses only need a trading account, whereas others require a trading account coupled with online banking and merchant facilities to allow their client to pay by credit card.
