Parties to a construction contract usually agree to the inclusion of separate financial arrangements with third parties for the purposes of ensuring financial security and project success. One such arrangement is requiring an advance payment guarantee. This guarantee, typically issued by a bank or insurer for and on behalf of the Contractor, offers a safety net to the Employer where it has agreed to provide the Contractor with an advance payment under the contract.
