SBA has developed a new streamlined application to help small business owners bid and compete for contracting opportunities.
The Quick Bond Guarantee Application Agreement is for contracts less than $250,000 and combines the contractor application and SBA’s agreement with the surety to guarantee the bond into one easy-to-use form. The new form, the Quick Bond Guarantee Application and Agreement (SBA Form 990A) is available here.
The streamlined application reduces paperwork for both contractors and surety companies participating in SBA's Prior Approval Program. The Quick Bond Guarantee Application Agreement helps:
- Reduce processing time,
- Streamline application requirements,
- Speed up the application approval process.
