Making Connections
We offer a specialist brokerage service to brokers and to clients,
assisting them and consulting to ensure they find a market for
their bonds. As surety specialists we represent a large selection
of sureties, and we help to fit the client’s and the needs of their
principal with the right surety provider.
Our experience and expertise helps to simplify the complicated
nature of placing bonds. Given that not all providers will be
interested in every enquiry; our knowledge allows us to target
those companies and underwriters who we know will be
interested in offering terms. This saves the client or broker
valuable time and usually enables us to obtain terms speedily.

EU & Internationally
An experienced surety team who can secure
competitive terms in the market
A highly personal & professional service
Superior technical expertise
Independent advice on different bond types
and wordings, and consultancy on tailored
bond wordings to meet the specific
requirements of the beneficiary
Extensive international expertise, including

of communication.

Most of our business comes from personal referrals and our relationships
with brokers throughout Ireland. We have built relationships with these
clients and with their brokers by giving them independent and objective
advice that they can trust. Our credibility in the market relies on this,
therefore we believe in always working openly and honestly with the client.
What is a bond:
A surety bond or surety is a promise to pay one party
(the obligee or beneficiary) a certain amount if a
second party (the principal or contractor) fails to
meet some obligation, such as fulfilling the terms
of a contract. The surety bond protects the
obligee against losses resulting from the
principal's failure to meet the obligation.
The Principal: The entity that’s performing the work or fulfilling the obligation.
The Obligee: The beneficiary for whom the work is being done or the party to
whom the principal is promising that it will live up to its obligation
i.e. the person or entity paying for the contract.
The Surety: The company that is making the guarantee on behalf of the
principal to the obligee.

The time involved in getting you your bond varies. Once the
information is gathered, the case is collated and presented with
all of its supporting information and analysis to underwriters to
assess. Some cases require prior meetings and/or intensive initial
consultancy. Once the application has been processed we aim
to ensure our clients and brokers are kept informed and know
the status each step of the way.
Every individual case is different, and every
company is different. We consult and assess bond
requirements for a variety of different industries
and obligations. Bonds are available for a multitude
of contract types, common types are listed below:
• Performance Bond
• Advanced Payment Bond
• Retention Bond
• Infrastructure Bonds
• Development Bonds
• Bid Bonds
• Duty Deferment Bonds
• Customs Warehouse Bonds
• Rental Guarantee Bonds
• Deposit Bonds
• Supply Bonds
• Environmental Bonds (TFS & EPA)
• Reinstatement / Restoration Bonds
• Operation & Maintenance Bonds
Types of bonds
“We constantly strive to develop our clients
understanding of bonding and to make things
as straightforward and as speedy as possible.”
