Performance guarantees for African contracts that must deliver
When you win work—EPC contracts, supply agreements, or service mandates—owners often require a performance bond. ATFC structures guarantees so percentages, validity, and governing law match your African project timeline and counterparty expectations.
Why African businesses use ATFC for Performance Guarantees
Milestone alignment
Validity periods can track handover, defects liability, or retention release common in regional contracts.
Reduced cash strain
Replace or supplement cash retentions with a bank undertaking where the market allows.
Dispute clarity
Clear demand conditions reduce grey areas when projects face delays or scope changes.
