Memphis Bonds and Insurance


At Higginbotham, we’re dedicated to you and your varied insurance needs. Our Memphis team on Poplar Avenue has been serving the Mid-South community for decades, with some client and carrier relationships dating back to the 1970s. Our philosophy centers on building lasting partnerships with our clients by gaining a deep understanding of their risks and exposures, no matter if they’re an individual, family or business.

Mathis, Tibbets and Mathis was founded in 1986 as a commercial and personal property/casualty, surety bonds and employee benefits agency. In the spring of 2022, the MTM team joined Higginbotham, gaining access to additional resources, markets and financial services to help enhance the overall client experience.

As part of the Higginbotham family, our team of Memphis insurance and benefits brokers leverage these additional resources while continuing to offer the same local, people-first service that’s always defined us. Perhaps the best embodiment of our people-first philosophy was Mary Hinck Tibbets, one of our founding principals, whose legacy, following her passing in 2023, continues to inspire our dedication to service and community.

Memphis Bonds

Employee dishonesty, theft, funds transfer fraud and computer fraud are serious exposures, but surety bonds can help protect you and your business from these and other risks. Essentially, a bond is a three-party agreement in which one party (the surety) guarantees the fulfillment of the contractual and financial obligations of the second party (the principal) to the third party (the obligee). If these obligations are not fulfilled, the principal will owe the obligee the performance or debt. Because of this, obtaining a bond can help a principal to demonstrate their credibility and establish trust with the obligee.

Our expertise in surety bonds spans a wide range of bond types that are designed for contractors, corporations, small businesses and public entities, including experience with bid bonds, performance and payment bonds and financial guarantee bonds. Our Memphis bond specialists take the time to understand the risks and requirements of your operation, helping to ensure that we suggest the best bond options for your needs.
