A Lease Bond is the modern alternative to a traditional bank guarantee — where we’ve designed a solution specifically to secure commercial leases.
The financial instrument that underpins the solution is the same financial guarantee, but instead of it being distributed from the banking market – it uses an insurance market – which allows it to not require cash-backing.
Instead of locking away business cash in a traditional bank guarantee, a Lease Bond allows you to keep that capital working in your business. You simply pay an annual fee, and the bond provides the landlord with the same level of protection – unconditional, irrevocable and on-demand payments.
Our Lease Bond solution is backed by a global insurer with an S&P AA- rating (equal to Australia’s big four banks), Lease Bonds give landlords peace of mind while giving tenants greater flexibility, efficiency, and control over their cash flow.
At eGuarantee, we offer our Lease Bond solution from $20,000 and up, making lease security easier, fairer, and smarter for Australian and New Zealand businesses.
Simply put – we’ve removed the bank from bank guarantees with Lease Bonds.
Lease Bonds provide the same sort of financial guarantee – but aligned with our modern day-to-day way of working.
As there is no cash required – in order to be eligible for a Lease Bond – business owners will need to go through a financial assessment and be approved. Credit assessments typically take 1 – 3 business days.
Once approved – the Lease Bond is issued to the landlord, as a bank guarantee would, and the business tenant would pay an annual fee for the issuance.
Applications are 100% digitally managed on our encrypted eGuarantee platform. Simply create an account here to get started.
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. 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.
