Propeller Solutions — for Larger & Complex Placements

🛢️
Oil & Gas Specialty
Plugging & Abandonment bonds plus Performance & Payment bonds for oilfield contractors — niche underwriting most agencies don't have direct access to.
🏢
Program Business
Industry-specific surety programs for trade associations, franchise networks, and verticals with shared bond requirements.
🤝
Private Equity & Collateralized
PE-backed account underwriting and collateralized deal structuring for clients who don't fit traditional credit-based programs.
Why Florida Pros Choose Nymble for Bonds
Most surety platforms only have one carrier behind them. Through Propeller, we have access to a top surety panel — Travelers, Liberty Mutual, Nationwide, Zurich, Arch, Hudson, and Great American — for instant placement on the small stuff. And we have the broader 90+ carrier independent agency for everything Propeller can't underwrite. One agency, every bond market.
⚡
Truly Instant Underwriting
Propeller's automation isn't just an online form — it's instant approval, instant payment, instant policy issuance, with the policy document emailed before you close the tab.
🏢
Multi-Market Access
When the instant platform declines or the bond is outside Propeller's appetite (court bonds, fiduciary, large probate), we shop traditional surety markets including specialty carriers most agents don't have.
🏗️
FL Contractor Specialists
CILB, ECLB, plumbing, roofing — we know FL DBPR licensing requirements cold. We package the bond with your GL, BOP, and workers' comp.
🏛️
Court & Probate Bond Experience
FL probate, guardianship, and court bonds have specific clerk-of-court requirements that automated platforms can't always handle. We've issued thousands and know the local quirks.
💼
Bundled Commercial
Most bond clients also need GL, BOP, workers' comp, or commercial auto. We're independent — we shop those too. One relationship, every coverage.
📞
Real People in Tampa
When the courthouse needs the bond filed today, you call us — not a bond mill 800 number or an automated platform that's confused by your obligee's exact wording.
