St. Louis Agency on Training and Employment

 Most large construction contracts require that contractors be "bonded," meaning that the constructor's business guarantor accepts liability for completing the project in case the contractor does not.  Not being bonded is often a major obstacle to the growth of any size company, especially for small businesses.  An increasingly complex area, bonding is critical, but often hard to get for small minority-owned businesses.  Now is your opportunity to gather advice from our panel of bonding experts on the basics of bonding practices, and ways for your business to become more bondable.

The seminar will include:

• Learn how bonding works;
• Get familiar with bonding criteria;
• Realize that personal wealth does count, and so does credit score;
• Learn how to find the surety/guarantor company, and more.

The workshop will take place on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2015 from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at SLATE American Job Center, 1520 Market Street, 3rd Floor Conference Room, St. Louis, MO  63103.  Admission is free.  To register, call (314) 657-3768.
