Smarter Bond Solutions for the UK and Ireland

Nov 25

For many businesses, securing bonds through traditional banking channels can mean tying up working capital and slowing down projects that depend on speed and certainty.

Insurance-backed surety bonds offer a smart alternative, freeing up liquidity, protecting balance sheets and enabling businesses to move forward.

Consilium’s new Surety product gives brokers and their clients across the UK and Ireland access to fast, flexible and commercially minded bond solutions. Backed by A rated capacity, it provides a responsive alternative to traditional bonds across a wide range of sectors, including:

  • Construction and Civil Engineering

  • Retail, Commercial and Residential Property Development

  • Infrastructure and Public Sector Projects

  • Manufacturing, Importing and Warehousing

At Consilium, our focus is on helping brokers deliver the best outcomes for their clients. That means building products designed for real-world business needs - combining underwriting agility, rapid response times and transparent, collaborative service at every stage of the process.
