About Swiftbonds
Swiftbonds, LLC was founded in 2008 in Leawood, Kansas with a straightforward goal: get contractors bonded faster and at better rates than anyone else in the market. Sixteen years later, that’s still the standard we hold ourselves to on every submission.
We hold an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and serve clients across all fifty states. We work exclusively with A.M. Best A-rated and Treasury-listed surety companies, so every bond we place is accepted by federal agencies, state governments, and private project owners nationwide.
Why contractors work with us
Getting a surety bond approved is not a passive process. The rate you pay — and whether you pay collateral — depends directly on how your application is packaged, which carrier sees it first, and how your financials are presented relative to that carrier’s underwriting guidelines. We know those guidelines. We’ve spent 16 years building relationships with the underwriters who apply them.
When a contractor comes to us with a difficult credit situation, a thin financial history, or a bond requirement on a tight deadline, we don’t send a generic application to a single carrier and hope for the best. We identify the sureties best suited to the specific risk profile, position the application correctly, and advocate for the approval. That approach produces faster turnarounds and lower rates — and it’s why clients who have been bonded for years still call us first.
Most standard bonds are approved within 24 hours. Many clients have estimates in hand within two hours of first contact. For complex contract bonds — large performance and payment bonds requiring full financial review — we work within the underwriting timeline but keep the process moving daily until approval is issued.
What we specialize in
We focus primarily on contract bonds for the construction industry: performance bonds, payment bonds, bid bonds, and the full suite of work required by the Miller Act (federal projects over $150,000) and state Little Miller Act equivalents. We also handle a broad range of commercial bonds including probate and court bonds, license and permit bonds, ERISA bonds, freight broker bonds, fuel tax bonds, Medicare DMEPOS bonds, sales and use tax bonds, and subdivision bonds.
In March 2024, Swiftbonds merged with US Insurance Resources, expanding our capabilities to include commercial insurance alongside our core surety offering. Clients who previously needed to manage bonding and insurance relationships separately can now handle both through one team.
Our team
Gary Swiftbonds — President and Head of Contract Department. Gary has run Swiftbonds since its founding in 2008. His focus has always been the same: get the client to work as quickly as possible, at the best rate they qualify for. He works directly on large and complex contract bond submissions and is the primary relationship manager with Swiftbonds’ surety carrier network.
Mike Lee — VP, Commercial Bonds. Mike handles day-to-day commercial bond placements and is the first point of contact for most new clients. He is consistently cited by name in client reviews for his response speed and follow-through.
Every member of the team is a licensed surety specialist. You will always reach a person who knows what they’re talking about.
