ABOUT RISK RESQ

Founded by construction people, for construction people.

Our Story

Risk ResQ was founded with a clear mission: to empower construction professionals by providing comprehensive financial instruments that mitigate risk, ensure project continuity, and foster trust among stakeholders.

Our journey began with a deep understanding of the complexities and uncertainties inherent in the construction industry. We recognised the need for robust financial protection solutions that could safeguard investments and ensure the smooth execution of projects — and built Risk ResQ to fill that gap.

Our Founders

Risk ResQ was founded by seasoned construction professionals, each bringing over 20 years of industry experience to the table. Our founders bring first-hand, on-the-ground experience of construction management and risk — backed by the regulatory standing of an Authorised Financial Services Provider and registered credit provider, so clients can verify our credentials rather than take our word for it.

We are not just finance people who crunch numbers. We understand you. We are one of you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers Before You Apply

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Contact us and we’ll walk you through it.

A construction guarantee is a financial assurance that a contractor will fulfil their obligations under a contract — commonly required by the employer or principal before work begins, especially on CIDB-registered or public-sector tenders. If your contract or tender documents call for a performance, payment or retention guarantee, you’ll need one in place before the project can proceed.
A guarantee is a promise of payment if the contractor fails to perform — it protects the employer’s financial interest. Construction insurance, such as Contractors’ All Risk or Public Liability cover, protects against physical loss, damage or third-party claims during the works themselves. Most projects need both, and we can arrange them together.
Typically your company registration documents, latest financial statements, and the signed contract or letter of award. The exact requirements depend on the size and type of guarantee or cover you need — our team will confirm the full list once we understand your project.
Once we have your complete documentation, most applications are assessed and guarantees or policies issued within a few working days. Larger or more complex contracts may take a little longer to underwrite.
