Understanding Payment Guarantees

A payment guarantee is a commitment, typically from a financial institution, to ensure payment is made for work performed or goods supplied. In the context of infrastructure projects in Nairobi, these guarantees protect against non-payment by the main contractor or project owner. They can take various forms, including bank guarantees or letters of credit. These instruments provide assurance that payments will be made according to contractual terms. For contractors and suppliers, this security is essential for maintaining cash flow and confidence. Fortisure Consulting's payment guarantee advisory demystifies these financial tools.
