There are times when you get the contract before you get qualified for a performance bond. That is ok as we have the experience to understand how to help you walk through the process of getting the performance bond even after the contract has been signed.
When Should a Performance Bond be required?
Performance guarantee bonds have been used to guarantee the contractor's performance for decades. They come in many different forms, but all of them require a surety company to step up and take on risk so that you don't end up paying more than necessary because your contract wasn't fulfilled as promised.

When can you release a performance bond?
Generally, as rule, it remains in force until the stated discharge date which is usually either after practical completion of the works or after making good any defects.
How long does it take to get a performance bond?
It takes between 24-72 hours to get a performance bond. This means that if you need your work completed quickly, be sure to account for the time it will take before you request one. Here's a What does a Bid and Performance Bond cover?
What types of contracts usually call for a performance bond?
One of the most common reasons for needing a performance bond is in relation to government-related projects such as building a bridge or construction. They are also required by private sector contractors who want protection against not completing their work on time, and/or within budget.
What is a performance bond and who has to have it?
A performance bond guarantees that one party of the contract will meet their obligations. Usually, this would be an insurance company or bank issuing the bonds.
There's no set answer to this question- each company is different and will have their own rules about costs assessed on bonds that employees must post before beginning work.
What is the difference between a performance bond and a bank guarantee?
The right to claim under a guarantee is linked to non-performance of the underlying contract. Under a bond, banks have an obligation, regardless of whether or not they're involved in that particular agreement's fulfillment. View our What does a Payment and Performance Bond cover?
Do you get your money back if the event does not happen?
If an event is cancelled or postponed, then typically a full refund should be given. If there was no cancellation and it just did not go as planned, then partial refunds can sometimes be provided depending on what company issued the bond for you.
Who is protected by Bid Bonds & Performance Bonds?
A performance bond will protect you against the possibility of losses in this case. The compensation is defined as an amount covered under your contract and can be claimed back by either party involved, which means that it's up for negotiation on how much one person owes another when something goes wrong.
What happens when a performance bond expires?
Performance bonds are not like other contracts. They exist outside of them and last only as long as the contract in which they were agreed upon does, so when a performance bond's time is up it will quit being effective.
A bond may be needed for a trade license, or guarantees your contract. If the need of the time period has not elapsed then you should know how much premium is being accrued and also get back possession of any property used as collateral.
How do performance guarantees work?
If you need a contractor to perform their job, don't forget about the importance of getting them on board and keeping them accountable with an enforceable performance guarantee. If they fail, then your project will be delayed or maybe even scrapped altogether! Read our What does it take to get a Performance Bond?
Who pays for a performance guarantee?
If the Contractor defaults, or fails to honor their obligations, the Owner/Employer may call on the Performance Guarantee in order to complete the project. The Insurer then covers them with an agreed-upon amount so they can find a new contractor who will be able to finish what was started - and get paid!
