Mission Statement
We focus on the 3 R’s: Relationships, Results, and Readiness to Bond, Build, and Grow Together.
Our mission is to provide ground-level advocacy to quickly and efficiently evaluate your needs and craft solutions that will demystify industry practices for your ultimate success.
The Barbour Group Difference
We understand that surety bonds require extreme focus to understand your company’s risks and needs and the personalities in play. We dedicate our efforts to make you successful. Otherwise, our proposals to you will be flat, uninteresting and self-serving. This focus has guided us since we opened our doors in 2002.
Our agency is tied to a dynamic networking hub of professionals, such as CPAs, lawyers, bankers, politicians, lobbyists, and investors that enjoy bringing your business solutions to fruition quickly.
Thank you for opening your doors to us. We promise not to be boring and elusive. Rather, you will find us to be innovative, smart, resourceful, trusted and non-judgmental. We will find the right solution for you using our dedicated and seasoned team. In our previous experience in construction (as owners) and in surety bond underwriting, we also possess a strong sense of urgency coupled with a good sense of humor.
The Barbour Group provides surety bonds nationwide (CONUS), including Puerto Rico and internationally at US Federal Bases (OCONUS). Our previous experience as underwriters and contractors can help groom your company for the bonding capacity it needs for growth, whether it involves diversification, ownership transition, teaming or joint venture opportunities, or more. We have a dedicated resource of consultants to help build strategies.
Our surety companies are industry leaders. We work in tandem with our sureties to provide you with all the services and amenities our industry has to offer.
We look forward to hearing from you with great anticipation.
Our approach
- Advocate on your behalf, creating resolve through new legislation if necessary.
- Restructure financial statements to build capacity for your company.
- Work to resolve or mitigate claims through our risk management expertise.
- Match your financial package to the best available markets and resources given our ability to front line underwrite.
“Karen and the Barbour Group have provided great bonding service for decades.”
