Where Small Businesses can get Help with Bonding, Insurance & Credit

July 6, 2016 by Diane Severson

Running a small business can be difficult. Small business owners can use all the help they can get when it comes to surety bonds, insurance and credit recovery.

Here are eight resources for small businesses that can help with surety bonds, insurance and credit recovery.

Surety Bonds Resources

Not every small business understands the ins and outs of surety bonds. Find resources here that will explain all you need to know about them.

Surety Bonds Explained

This web resource from the US Small Business Administration (SBA) clearly explains what surety bonds are and the three types of surety bonds that are usually required for obtaining public works contracts.

Find it here.

Surety Information OfficeSan Diego small business financing

The Surety Information Office (SIO) can provide information on contract surety bonds for both private and public construction projects. It can provide speakers to talk about surety bonds or provide complimentary brochures about them and it can answer any inquiries you may have about surety bonds.

The SIO is run by the National Association of Surety Bond Producers (NASBP) and The Surety & Fidelity Association of America (SFAA).

You can find the SIO’s website here.

SBA Surety Bond Guarantee Program

This program is run by the SBA and it can guarantee bid, performance and payment bonds for individual contracts of $2 million or less. This is to help small and emerging contractors who are unable to obtain surety bonds through regular commercial channels.

Learn more about this program here.

Insurance Resources

Insurance is a broad subject that is especially complex for businesses. You can never be too informed when it comes to insurance. Use these resources to become informed.
