We all need to feel safe – protected – secure. In an age when we are bombarded daily with surprises, challenges and uncertainties the last thing we need is to have to face worries about whether or not the Contractors we hire to do work at home is worthy of our trust. As daunting as that fear may be, imagine if you are the Contractor and have to worry about the stability of your firm? If you, in fact, are a Contractor you may want to pay strict attention to what we have to say about SURETY BONDS AND GLENDALE, ARIZONA CONTRACTORS.
“It’s nearly heart-wrenching,” Jim Bivona of Bivona Insurance Group, LLC, an Independent Insurance Agency that services the Phoenix Metro area regarding Insurance including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale, and Peoria Arizona to name just a few, shared solemnly, “when a client comes to me and shares that their Contracting Business is about to go under and they have no idea what happened.

And, Bivona is right. A recent study released by the Surety Association of America (SAA) revealed that there are a number of similarities displayed by Contractors who “fail,” including but not necessarily limited to:

- Unrealistic Growth Patterns“The thing is,” Bivona continued, a somewhat wry smile on his face, “often, the reason there is no apparent problem is because the Contractor is the problem. It’s a variation of the old axiom, ‘we have met the enemy and they are us.’”
- If a Contractor really wants to trouble-shoot his company, some of the things he can look for include:
- “Those are the long-range effects,” Bivona pointed out, “but there are some tell-tale signs that crop up that let you know you are trending to one of these major problems.
