There has been an unfortunate trend in the industry to rely on algorithms and credit based models instead of a company’s history and experience.

Pate Bonding, Inc. was founded in 1991 by Jon Pate who saw the need for a trusted, family-owned, agency in the industry. Through hard work, determination, and a passion for serving customers, Jon built Pate Bonding into one of the most successful and respected surety bond agencies in the construction industry.
Jon’s legacy was built on trust, reliability, and a customer-first approach. He believed in forging strong relationships with his clients and always going the extra mile to ensure their success. He viewed his client relationships as a partnership, with a vested interest in the progress and prosperity of each contractor. Under Jon’s leadership, Pate Bonding became known for its exceptional service, expertise, and integrity.
In 2021, Jon passed away, leaving behind a successful company and a team of dedicated employees. Jon had previously turned over day-to-day responsibilities of the business to the agency’s co-owners, Zach and Troy. Today the executive team of Zach Pate, Jon’s son, and Troy Staples are determined to uphold Jon’s legacy.
Zach and Troy share Jon’s values and vision for the company and continue to build on his foundation and expand the business while maintaining the same level of customer service that Pate Bonding is known for. With their leadership, Pate Bonding has continued to thrive as a trusted partner for businesses in a wide variety of industries needing surety services.
Today, Pate Bonding remains one of the leading surety bond agencies in the industry, thanks to the hard work and dedication of our entire team continuing Jon’s vision.
