Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a surety bond?
A surety bond is a three-party agreement guaranteeing the fulfilment of an obligation — whether a construction project, customs duty, or contractual commitment.
Is a surety bond the same as insurance?
Not exactly. While both offer protection, a surety bond guarantees your performance or payment to a third party, whereas insurance protects you.
Who needs a surety bond?
Anyone required to provide a financial or contractual guarantee — common in construction, import/export, legal, and government sectors.
How much does a surety bond cost?
Premiums typically range from 1%–3% of the bond amount, depending on your credit, bond type, and project size.
Do I need collateral or a strong credit score?
Not always. We offer flexible underwriting and work with a wide range of business profiles — including those with limited history.
Can Aedis issue bonds for public sector or international projects?
Yes! Our surety bonds are accepted by UK government agencies and international organisations.
