The dominant form of lease security in the US and the UK, now available in Australia and New Zealand

Why? Because it is faster, easier and more secure than a bank guarantee.

FAQs

How much does a Lease Bond cost?

Once approved, tenants pay an annual fee for a Lease Bond to be issued. For bonds below $200k in security value, the annual fee is 5.5% p.a (so for a $200,000 bond, the fee is $11,000 per annum). Above $200k, the rate drops, and is determined at the financial assessment.

A once off establishment fee of also applies and, in some cases, legal fees may be incurred, depending on the organisational structure and requirements.

You will receive the full payment schedule ahead of issuance, before you decide to commit. There is no cost to apply.

 

What exactly is a Lease Bond?

Lease Bonds might sound unfamiliar, but they’re just a type of surety bond – a staple in the financial world. They’re hugely popular in the US, but down here in Australia and New Zealand, they’re still the new kid on the block.

At eGuarantee, we’re bringing Lease Bonds into the spotlight. Our bonds are tailor-made to guarantee commercial lease security. Backed by an S&P AA- rated global insurer, which is the same as the big 4 banks, they ensure landlords get their security amount if a tenant breaches their lease obligations.

Here’s the game-changer: because Lease Bonds tap into insurance markets, tenants don’t need to lock up their cash. Instead, they pay a simple annual fee for the guarantee.

We’re currently offering Lease Bonds starting from $20,000 – keeping it smooth, secure, and seriously smart for businesses.

Can eGuarantee be used mid-term if already locked into a lease?

Absolutely—subject to your landlord’s approval.

Tenants can transition to eGuarantee at any point, even mid-lease, giving them the flexibility to free up cash collateral or banking lines whenever they need.

What are the eligibility criteria for tenants?

A financial assessment forms part of the application process. Generally, businesses need to:

  • Have been trading for 12+ months
  • Provide company financials
  • No ATO arrangements or payment plans in place
  • Have a requirement for a commercial lease security value of $20K and above

Other credit criteria may apply.

How do I apply?

Applications are quick and fully online via our tech platform. Simply create an account here to get started.

You’ll need the following documents:

  • Finalised and signed financial statements (profit and loss, balance sheets) for the last two financial years
  • A summary of banking and non-banking facilities
  • Your organisation structure
  • A copy of the heads of agreement or lease agreement

The form takes about 10 minutes to complete, and initial assessments are typically completed within 2 business days.

We recommend allowing at least two weeks from application to Lease Bond issuance. However, with fast information supply and landlord and tenant availability on the platform, we can issue the Lease Bond in as little as 5 business days

What documents do I need for the application?

For the initial assessment, the following documents are required:

• Latest accountant-prepared annual financial statements – finalised and signed by management
