Client Testimonial
“Our team specializes in acquiring environmentally sensitive properties through liability transfer agreements with industrial and power companies. These transactions, given their complexity, require bonds that are often challenging to procure. Over the years, across numerous projects, we’ve worked with a wide range of brokers and engaged every available bonding market. When the opportunity arose to acquire the former Bridgeport Harbor Station, we followed our established protocol: working with multiple brokers and exploring as many markets as possible.
However, Baldwin stood out as the most comprehensive and knowledgeable partner for our specific needs. Their team took the time to fully understand the complexity of our transaction, ensuring not only that our requirements were met but that our deal was expertly packaged for surety underwriting. Moving forward, we’ll bypass the traditional approach of engaging multiple brokers and instead rely exclusively on Baldwin for our next project.”

SURETY SNAPSHOT
Tailored solutions, powerful results
Surety bonds are one of the most important credit instruments available to support your business. Depending on the situation, these bonds may fulfill contractual obligations, satisfy compliance agreements, and meet statutory requirements.
Four types of surety bonds:
Contract bonds: These bonds hold one party in a contractual agreement responsible if the established terms are not met.
Commercial bonds: Businesses, organizations, and individuals need a commercial bond before the state may recognize them as a business entity.
Court bonds: This type of bond holds the bonded party financially liable if they fail to act in a court-required manner. These bonds are common in civil cases.
Fidelity bonds: This type of bond protects businesses and their clients if an employee of that business acts unlawfully. Fidelity bonds are not required, like commercial and court bonds, but can be a great way to manage risk.
