what is a completion guarantee?

when you lend money for a construction project, you want to insure that it will be finished. a completion guarantee is a useful way to guarantee that the project will be realized. perhaps you're a lender who provides loans to construction workers. or you're a guarantor who is insuring a project. maybe you're even the contractor who needs a loan. a completion guarantee is an important tool to minimize financial risk for lenders. 
 
with a completion guarantee, a "guarantor" unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to the "lender" that if the "borrower" fails to complete the project, as required by the construction loan agreement, that they (the guarantor) will complete it. a completion guarantee can insure that if the project isn't completed, the lender is protected from risk.

when to use a completion guarantee:

  • you're a guarantor who wants to insure a project.
  • you're a lender who wants a project insured before approving a loan.
  • you're a construction professional who wants to borrow money for a project.
  • you manage a construction company, guaranty office, or company that provides loans.
