A key to increasing your competitiveness is strengthenng your financial statement presentation. We have helped contractors form a team that includes their CPA, banker, lawyer, and The Koch Company. We routinely refer competent team members, when needed. By having people on your team that know you and understand your business plan and goals, you can improve your capacity, while minimizing negative surprises.

In many cases, when we work with your CPA, your financial statement can more accurately reflect your ablity to ge the job done profitably, while minimizing your tax liability. Before your CPA finalizes your financial statement, The Koch Company can review the "rough draft" for how it will impact your bond program. We even provide cost, revenue, and profit analysis that can change the focus of the jobs you bid. Another service, Trade/Industry Comparisons, coupled with profit margin analysis, can help your company improve its profitabiity and competitiveness.

An additional key component is our emphasis on face-to-face surety relationships. When the underwriter understands your company and knows you, it works in your behalf when you need a big job approval. Underwriters are taught to worry about the possibilities and are conservative. The professional surety agent gathers the answers to questions underwriters will have before they are asked. By showing them that we know their concerns and have addressed them, we earn credibility and approval for our clients with the underwriters.

Bottom line: The Koch Company's has the tools to help you maximize your surety credit and increase your competitiveness and profitability.
