Whoever's name is on the bond, we've been there before.

From a two-plot developer needing a s.104 to a £180m turnover contractor renewing an annual facility.

Main contractors

You're bonding on tender, sometimes several at once, and the employer's wording is rarely the same twice. We negotiate the form, size an annual facility against your order book, and get retention bonds in place so cash isn't sitting in someone else's account for two years.

Housebuilders & developers

Adoption is where programmes slip. We place S38 and S104 bonds against highways and water authority agreements, and because Advantage has arranged structural warranties on UK developments since 2014, we understand how the bond, the warranty and the lender's requirements interact.

SME & regional builders

A first bond is a presentation problem as much as a credit one. We know which markets support younger companies, what supporting information moves the answer, and how to structure the request so a £600k contract doesn't get judged on last year's dip.

Sub-contractors

Main contractors increasingly ask specialist trades for bonds. We place them quickly and at sensible rates, and can also bond your own supply chain where you're carrying the risk down the line.

Brokers & intermediaries

If surety isn't your line, refer it. We handle the placement end to end, keep you copied on everything, never approach your client about their other covers, and confirm all of that in writing before we touch the file.
