Spot for Surety Bonds
We match your bond to what the project or license requires, prepare your financials for the surety and help you get bonded.
Your Spot team identifies who requires the bond, the exact obligation, and whether it’s a license or permit, a bid, performance of a job, payment of subcontractors or another commercial form.

Sureties look at credit, capacity and character. Spot gathers the obligee’s bond form and amount, the contract or license documents and your financial information into one package.
We work with brokers to take your request to market and set what each proposal offers against the obligee’s exact requirement, including the name of whoever required the bond.

Bid, performance and payment bonds each serve a different part of the contract: the bid, finishing the work and paying suppliers and subcontractors.
A prime contractor may ask you for bonds, and their paperwork sets the form and amount.
A license or permit bond answers a legal or regulatory obligation rather than a specific job.
Some contracts accept either, and the obligee’s stated requirements decide which one works.
What each industry usually faces, and where Spot fits in.
A California contractor license is being activated or a project owner or solicitation asks for a bid, performance, payment, or other bond.
