Surety Bonding & Cash Flow for Contractors

Surety bonding is a must for all contractors – it provides financial security and

assurance to project owners that contractors will perform the work as specified and

will pay subcontractors, laborers and materials suppliers as agreed. You can’t grow

your business without proper bonding!

Topics to be covered during this free in-person seminar include:

• Most common surety bonds for contractors

• What is needed from the contractor to establish a bond program

• What a surety underwriter looks for when establishing a bond program

• What an underwriter looks for when reviewing a bond request

Co-hosted by the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center and the City and County of

San Francisco’s Contractor Development Program (CDP), who will address surety

bonding basics, the different types of bonds, the application process and how to

overcome potential challenges.

Having sufficient cash flow is also key to taking on public works projects. The San

Francisco Contract Monitoring Division will discuss the Contractor Accelerated

Payment Program (CAPP), a contract-based financing assistance program which

provides working capital for eligible local, small and diverse contractors.

Location: Southeast Community Center, 1550 Evans Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124

Light refreshments will be served. Come join us and get 2025 off to a great start!
