What Makes CSBA Different?

As a contractor, you have many options when it comes to choosing a surety bond provider. For over 30 years, California contractors have partnered with us because we do more than provide performance and payment bonds, we use our expertise and unique programs to help contractors grow their business.

Read What California Contractors Say About CSBA

The team at CSBA are rockstars. When I started my business, they helped me get my controller, CPA, and accounting system in place, and then set a gameplan to help me grow. Just a little over a year, they were able to get me approved for a $10 million bond. If you want to grow your business, you need to call these guys.

I was with one of those surety bond brokers out of the area and struggling to increase my bonding capacity beyond $1 million. CSBA met with me to learn about my business, and guided me on steps to take to get my bonding levels up. 18 months later, CSBA got me approved for a $6.5 million project.

The bonding capacity that CSBA has negotiated for Slater Builders has allowed us to pursue increasingly larger opportunities and strategically build our business. CSBA Is always professional, knowledgeable, and willing to put in the extra mile to ensure a smooth process.

CSBA showed tremendous trust in our team and our vision back in 2015 we were just a startup company. They are always willing to listen and help guide us as we continue to grow our company. CSBA is one of our most trustworthy professional advisors for critical business decisions, and we would not be the company we are today if it were not for CSBA.
