Surety Bonds & Guarantees
Allianz Trade surety bonds offer a powerful guarantee for the fulfilment of a contract across a wide range of UK industries.
What are surety bonds?
In an uncertain and fiercely competitive business environment, having a surety bond gives project owners the confidence to contract with suppliers, safe in the knowledge they will be compensated if contract terms are not met.
How do surety performance bonds work?
A surety bond creates a triangular relationship between you (the supplier or contractor), your employer (the project owner) and a surety bond company such as Allianz Trade.
