Bid & Performance Bonds

Looking for Bid & Performance Bonds?

Colonial Surety Company offers multiple ways for contractors to qualify for our contract surety bonding programs, based on experience, financial strength, and bonding history.

The Partnership Account® for Contractors

Experienced contractors may pre-qualify online in minutes by obtaining an instant D&B credit score and starting the full submission process for a surety line of credit.

Once approved, you’ll never miss a bid again. Simply log in to your account to:

• Print your bid bonds instantly, anytime
• Use your Power of Attorney to issue your own bonds
• Manage your surety line of credit online

Win the bid? Great. You can then order your performance bond completely online through the Partnership Account® for Contractors, while viewing your financials and underwriting profile in real time.

For seasoned contractors – pre-qualify for a surety bonding line of credit for up to 20 million single and 40 million aggregate.

If you’re new to bonding, we also offer our Hometown Bonding Program. This program allows qualified contractors to obtain bid and performance bonds as needed, without a traditional surety line of credit.

What If You Don’t Qualify Right Away?

Whether you qualify immediately or not, a member of Colonial Surety Company’s underwriting team will contact you to:

• Explain the next steps
• Review why you may not have qualified
• Help you understand what actions you can take to qualify in the future

We believe in live customer service. One of the key benefits of bonding with Colonial Surety Company is direct access to an underwriter whenever you need one.
