Program Components
Broadlands’ program trains contractors in the key areas of construction business management. Our program covers business leadership, drafting business plans, construction accounting, project manage-ment, biding strategy, contract review, contract negotiation, financial record keeping, contract surety bonds, resolving disputes, and more.

Value Added
As part of the program curriculum, engineers and surety underwriters evaluate participants for bond credit. Participants receive written reports outlining their strengths and weaknesses with respect to bondability and are given a plan to obtain future bond credit. Because of Broadlands diverse and unique services, and because of Broadlands relation to a Treasury Listed surety company, Broadlands is best capable of analyzing contractors and developing business plans that set those contractors on the path to surety bond credit.

‘This program is so amazing. I am so grateful to Broadlands and the County. said Eloise Gonzalez, President of a Miami based interior finishing company specializing in floors and walls. ‘The quality of speakers is just so impressive. To bring the president to present at a class and then to have his presentation be so incredible is extremely impressive. This [program] is something that I could not personally afford to do financially or time wise. They are compressing an MBA course with a surety concentration into 3 hour sessions and it just keeps getting better and better.‘

‘With forty-one firms enrolled, its already proving to be very much what our Community Small Business Enterprises (CSBEs) have found to be enjoyable, interactive, informative and beneficial, in addition to being presented in a relaxing environment. . . . This training program is, by far, addressing one of the greatest needs of our CSBEs.‘
