WE BOND
EMBRACE'S ROAD MAP TO BECOME BONDABLE
Embrace will be a managing general underwriter of surety bonds, writing bonds up to $3 million in house with a U.S. Treasury Rated surety. Our platform has us fold bond-underwriting and pre-qualification into the capacity building process. Through the education program, we get to know each subcontractors’ abilities and challenges. We are positioned to support their development into project-ready and bondable primes or subs. As soon as they are ready, we provide bonding, cutting through red tape and mitigating risk to the project owner, construction manager, surety and lender.
WE FUND
EMBRACE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The proprietary Capital Management Program skillfully combines access to capital along with managerial and operational support of the capital provided. Embrace makes capital affordable and accessible. We underwrite each contractor’s working capital needs to ensure that the contractor can meet the financial obligations of the project
The Embrace Capital Management Program (CMP) is a proprietary, innovative tool developed by David Cayemitte that comprehensively manages project exposure and incentivizes lenders to provide affordable access to capital for Emerging Contractors. The CMP was developed to address the systemic problems that prevent small, minority, women, veteran, and locally owned contractors from building capacity. The CMP manages vendors, payroll practices, and provides a transparent and auditable process. The project owner/agency/prime contractor/construction manager/surety or lender can be certain that all liabilities on a project are satisfied upon completion. CMP mitigates payment, bond, and loan exposure, and protects the integrity of the project. The CMP process includes an education component as the Emerging Contractor is walked through back-office operational best practices on a regular basis so that they can learn to manage operations independently in the future.
We partner with major sources of capital to develop program financing that supports loans for construction projects.
Risk Mitigation: As we manage all project funds on behalf of the small contractor, we assure that bills are paid timely, lien releases are obtained, the project stays on track and closes out cleanly and with all liabilities satisfied.
