About
Since opening its doors in 1977, Guignard Company has been a leading surety bond agency serving the Southeast and beyond. Headquartered in the Greater Orlando area, with offices in Tampa and Atlanta, our mission is simple: deliver first-class service, deep surety expertise, and dependable advocacy to every client we serve.
We specialize in Contract and Commercial Surety Bonds, partnering closely with our clients at every stage of the bonding process. Guignard works with a diverse client base ranging from small and mid-sized contractors to the nation’s top ENR contractors with billion-dollar programs. No matter the size of your operation, we are committed to helping you secure the bonding capacity you need to grow with confidence.
Our culture and work ethic are rooted in the principles established by our founder, Jack Guignard, whose vision helped shape Guignard into one of the most respected surety agencies in the Southeast. Today, those same principles guide our second generation of leadership under Bryce Guignard, ensuring continuity, integrity, and long-term relationships.
Our team of surety professionals brings an unmatched level of knowledge and expertise across the construction and surety industries. With experience from both the agency and carrier perspectives, we are uniquely equipped to navigate the complexities of the surety marketplace for contractors, subcontractors, business owners and developers nationwide.
