Aboriginal Contract Guarantee Instrument (ACGI)

The Aboriginal Contract Guarantee Instrument (ACGI) gives Aboriginal contractors the help they need to qualify for more business opportunities. The ACGI proves to the project owners that their contractors can guarantee satisfactory job completion.

Eligibility Criteria

Established First Nation, Métis and Inuit contractors who meet the program criteria (which includes a minimum of three years of business experience) can apply through their local aboriginal Financial Institutions.

Summary

What is Silu'?
Silu' Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Aboriginal Capital Corporations Association (NACCA).

What is the purpose of the Aboriginal Contract Guarantee Instrument?
The ACGI allows contractors to provide project owners financial guarantees that the contractor will perform the contract. The ACGI acts like a "guarantee" line of credit allowing contractors to give guarantees without tying up working capital or interfering with cash flow.

Where can a contractor obtain an application?
Contractors can obtain applications from an Aboriginal Financial Institution. A listing of these institutions can be obtained from the NACCA.
