FAQs

How much does a Lease Bond cost?

Once approved, tenants pay an annual fee for a Lease Bond to be issued. For bonds below $200k in security value, the annual fee is 5.5% p.a (so for a $200,000 bond, the fee is $11,000 per annum). Above $200k, the rate drops, and is determined at the financial assessment.

A once off establishment fee of also applies and, in some cases, legal fees may be incurred, depending on the organisational structure and requirements.

You will receive the full payment schedule ahead of issuance, before you decide to commit. There is no cost to apply.

 

What exactly is a Lease Bond?

Lease Bonds might sound unfamiliar, but they’re just a type of surety bond – a staple in the financial world. They’re hugely popular in the US, but down here in Australia and New Zealand, they’re still the new kid on the block.

At eGuarantee, we’re bringing Lease Bonds into the spotlight. Our bonds are tailor-made to guarantee commercial lease security. Backed by an S&P A+ rated global insurer, they ensure landlords get their security amount if a tenant breaches their lease obligations.

Here’s the game-changer: because Lease Bonds tap into insurance markets, tenants don’t need to lock up their cash. Instead, they pay a simple annual fee for the guarantee.

We’re currently offering Lease Bonds starting from $20,000 – keeping it smooth, secure, and seriously smart for businesses.

Can eGuarantee be used mid-term if already locked into a lease?

Absolutely—subject to your landlord’s approval.

Tenants can transition to eGuarantee at any point, even mid-lease, giving them the flexibility to free up cash collateral or banking lines whenever they need.

What are the eligibility criteria for tenants?

A financial assessment forms part of the application process. Generally, businesses need to:

  • Have been trading for 12+ months
  • Provide company financials
  • No ATO arrangements or payment plans

Other credit criteria may apply.
