In this episode of Let’s Get Surety®, we hear from Will Kantlehner IV of Gallagher, and Nate Byerly from Gray Surety, as they share their journies to their surety careers and delve into the intriguing intersection of private equity and surety. They unpack how the introduction of a fourth party, the private equity company, adds additional nuances to the bonding processes though the principles stay the same. Together, they explore the challenges and opportunities arising from private equity firms' involvement in construction companies, the varying levels of knowledge these firms may have about surety and bonding practices, and the overall complexity in understanding this fourth entity.
