What it is

A commercial lease guarantee bond guarantees your obligations under a commercial lease, chiefly the rent, up to a set amount. Instead of tying up months of cash in a security deposit, you post a bond. If you default, the landlord can claim on it and you reimburse the surety. It protects the landlord, not you, and keeps your working capital in the business.

Who needs it

  • Tenants signing a commercial lease who want to avoid a large cash deposit
  • Growing businesses that would rather keep capital working
  • Startups a landlord asks to secure the lease

Questions

Lease Guarantee Bond FAQs

How much does a lease guarantee bond cost?
You pay a premium that is a percentage of the bonded amount, set by underwriting and driven mostly by your credit and financials. It is usually far less than the cash a deposit would tie up.
Will my landlord accept a bond instead of a deposit?
Many will, since the bond gives them a guaranteed source to recover unpaid rent. Confirm the amount and form your landlord wants, and we will place it.
