Bonds
Bond insurance (also known as “financial guaranty insurance”) ensures interest and principal payments are maintained on a bond or other security in the event of a payment default by the issuer.
Having the insurer’s credit rating provides a level of caliber that allows a bonded issuer to leverage business growth and minimizes the risks involved with procuring funds. This is especially true in the construction and financial industries. A bonded business can obtain unbiased criticism from a credit professional and seek advice in underwriting projects.
Some bonds we handle include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Contract performance bonds
- Bid bonds
- Maintenance bonds
- Payment bonds
- Supply bonds
- License and permit bonds
- Miscellaneous bonds
Term Life Insurance
Term life insurance provides life insurance for a specific period of time, such as 10 to 20 years. You may consider a term life insurance policy for coverage when your family’s financial needs are greatest – like when you’re paying for children’s college tuition or a mortgage. With term life insurance, your premium payment should remain the same throughout the entire period you select. After that, you can purchase continued coverage (usually at a much higher rate).
Ask your agent about specific term life insurance provisions such as:
- Accelerated death benefits: Allows a terminally ill person to collect a significant portion of his or her policy’s death benefit while still alive.
- Disability waiver of premium: Waives premiums when a policy owner suffers a long-term disability, typically one lasting six months or longer.
- Accidental death benefits: Doubles or triples the benefit in the case of death by accidental means.
