Surety One, Inc. Launches ERISA4204Bonds.com, a Dedicated Underwriting Portal for ERISA § 4204 Sale of Assets Bonds

Surety One, Inc. Launches ERISA4204Bonds.com, the Nation's First Dedicated Underwriting Portal for ERISA § 4204 Sale of Assets Bonds

RALEIGH, NC, UNITED STATES, August 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Surety One, Inc., the nation's leading ERISA surety bond underwriter, announces the launch of ERISA4204Bonds.com, the first web property in the United States devoted exclusively to ERISA § 4204 sale of assets bonds — the five-year purchaser bond that permits a contributing employer to sell its assets without triggering multiemployer pension withdrawal liability.

The portal automates 'in-browser' analysis that has historically consumed weeks of correspondence between deal counsel, funds and surety markets. An interactive penal sum calculator computes the statutory bond amount from the seller's contribution history, and a variance worksheet runs the actual arithmetic of the PBGC's regulation at 29 CFR Part 4204, the de minimis, net income and net tangible assets tests, indicating in real time whether a transaction may qualify to proceed with no bond at all. Worksheet figures transmit directly to underwriting, so every file arrives pre-analyzed.

Behind the automation sits a commitment unique in the surety industry. Surety One performs the complete Part 4204 variance analysis on every submission at no charge, verified against the purchaser's post-closing figures, with its conclusion stated in writing. Where the regulation excuses the bond, the engagement ends with a letter saying exactly that: "no bond, no premium, no fee".

"Counsel in this space should never have to purchase a bond that the regulation says their client does not have to," said C. Constantin Poindexter, CPCU, JD, MA, AFSB, founder of Surety One, Inc. and CEO of Janus Assurance Re. "I designed the ERISA4204Bonds.com portal to put the statute's arithmetic in the practitioner's hands, then the Surety One, Inc. Team stands behind it with a written variance determination on every bond submission. When the answer is that no bond is required, they say so. NOT charging for this analysis is how Surety One adds value without expectation of anything in return. If the underwriter's analysis determines that a bond is required, no desk in the country places it with more precision than Sharon's Team."

"The portal is as customer-facing as we can make it," said Sharon M. Poindexter, President of Surety One, Inc. "Our added-value proposition encompasses more than just the analytical tools on the site. It also houses a treatise-depth multilingual practitioner library authored by Constantin (the Practitioner's Guide to ERISA § 4204 Sale of Assets Bonds), a fillable submission application, and an expedite function for same-business-day review. This is a first for any surety in this space. We deeply understand the nature of this obligation, and we add some specialty tradecraft to the equation."

ERISA4204Bonds.com is a companion property to ERISA-Bonds.com. and FiduciaryLiabilityCoverage.com.

Surety One, Inc., a Janus Assurance Re company, is an international surety bond intermediary, licensed in all fifty states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, underwriting ERISA fidelity bonds, § 4204 sale of assets bonds, fiduciary liability insurance and specialty surety lines.
