Cost Overview
Contrary to popular belief bonds are not expensive.
A bond should typically cost less than 1% of the overall Contract Sum.
Unlike
other classes of insurance the cost of a bond does not increase in line
with the risk and is not solely the result of fancy mathematics.
Bondsmen
consider the application first and the cost second, and must be
absolutely satisfied as to the contractor's ability to complete the
project before quoting.
When you consider we would charge less
than €10,000 for a bond of €250,000 (more than 1/25) one appreciates
how sure we have to be. Not many punters would be attracted at similar
odds!
