Here is a real life example of Joe E. Contractor
SAMPLE

A few months ago “Joe E. Contractor” was approached by a potential customer to work on a large renovating project.

Part of the contract requirements were that the Contractor be bonded when submitting a Tender and the contractor was to provide a Bid bond that would guarantee a Performance Bond be issued on award of the contract. Unable to provide the bonding facility, the contractor was unable to bid and lost the project.

After this happened “ Joe E. Contractor” decided to pursue a bonding facility as a sure way to increase trust in his business, and thus revenue.

His business contacted a Bond Facility and it was agreed that a bond could create new sources of revenue. So once Joe. E decided to request a bond, he received a list of requirements.

After 5 weeks of collecting all the documents, the dossier (collection of requested documents) was submitted to the Bonding facility (Insurance Company). After over a week of waiting for a response, the Bonding facility communicated that “Joe E.” Application was not approved; Reasons for being declined were:

Bond Application Declined due to;
• Working Capital under the minimum $250,000
• No Personal Guarantee Provided
• Financial Statements not audited by a CA (Chartered Accountant)
• Contractor Business without required track record
