March 05, 2019

The US Department of Transportation (DOT) Bonding Education Program (BEP) (PDF) partners with the Surety and Fidelity Association of America (SFAA) to help small businesses become bond ready.

Becoming bondable is a challenge for many disadvantaged businesses and this program aims to help businesses grow by obtaining or building bonding capacity.

The BEP is a hands-on, multi-component program designed to address what businesses need to do to become bond ready, as well as one-on-one sessions with local surety bonding professionals to help in assembling the materials necessary for a complete bond application. This program is tailored to businesses competing for contracts related to transportation.
