SBNC Ratings Service
The Surety Bonds National Council supplies impartial and independent advice to Bond Beneficiaries in respect of the suitability and credibility of Operators within the Sector.

We aim to provide informed advice to assist in the vetting and approval of Guarantors proposing to underwrite a principal in performing and fulfilling their duties within their contractual obligations.

In order to establish the suitability of a Bondsman in relation to the bonded obligation, their financial standing and credibility is undoubtedly important. However, Bond Beneficiaries should consider information beyond the basis financial position of a Guarantor. In addition to supplying general Underwriter Ratings, the SBNC is able to devise and issue tailored Bond Specific Appraisal Reports based on a fully representative selection of variables, allowing for a fully comprehensive informed decision to be made regarding a Bondsman’s acceptability.

The following factors are considered within each report:

  • Financial Standing

  • Claims History

  • Responsiveness and Cooperativeness

  • Domicile and Jurisdiction

  • Persons with Significant Control and Company Officers

  • Associated Parties

  • Reinsurance and Indemnities
