Strengthen your commitments with the right surety bond.

A surety bond agreement is an essential tool to secure the fulfillment of a company’s contractual obligations toward its partners. Through this document, a surety company — known for its financial strength and rigorous eligibility process — guarantees that the bonded company will meet its commitments.

This type of guarantee is especially common in the construction sector, notably for public, governmental, and institutional contracts. However, it also extends to many other areas:

  • Travel agencies, allowing them to avoid tying up their working capital

  • Importers and exporters, to comply with Canadian and U.S. customs requirements

  • Security companies, driving schools, professional organizations, and many others

Specific surety bonds are also required in various contexts:

  • License or permit bonds

  • Judicial or fiduciary bonds

  • Bonds for estates, release of seizure, lost documents, court or appeal fees, or in cases of undetermined penalties

At J. Gérard Fortin & Associates, our professionals guide you through every step of the eligibility process to quickly obtain the required bond, at the best rate, without compromising your liquidity.

And if your projects take you abroad, we also offer surety bond contracts adapted for international needs through our specialized insurance partners.
