We guide clients through all the steps necessary to open the doors to bonding. 

 

We know business owners and operators who have been told they don't qualify for the surety binding they need.  We also know all the nuances of the process of obtaining an SBA bond and offer them consultation that guides them, step by step, through that process.

 

The Small Business Administration (SBA) doesn’t issue surety bonds.  It provides a guarantee that makes it possible for qualified small businesses to obtain surety bonds that they might not otherwise be approved for.

​

This program can potentially allow a contractor to achieve larger limits than they might qualify for in the standard markets or become bonded for the first time.

​

We invite businesses to take advantage of a no-obligation consultation so we can review the criteria the SBA uses to qualify them for assistance from their Surety Bond Guarantee program:

​

Business Size

Applicants must meet the SBA’s definition of a small business.

​

Type of Surety Bonds Needed

Only certain kinds of contract bonds (including bid bonds, performance bonds, and payment bonds) can be SBA guaranteed.

​

Contract Size

Non-federal contracts for less than $6.5 million and federal contracts for up to $10 million qualify for an SBA guarantee.

​

Underwriting Standards. 

Applicants must meet the SBA’s underwriting standards for credit, capacity, and character.

DNI works with the SBA Surety Bond Guarantee Program to get our clients guarantees that allow the right bonding companies to provide them with the bonds the need.
