Secure Your Customs & Trade Responsibilities With Confidence
Agent’s Bonds/Guarantees
(Cover)
Whether you’re a clearing agent, freight forwarder, or logistics provider, Perennity Wealth makes it simple to secure the guarantees required by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) and other regulatory bodies. Our Agent’s Bonds (also called Agent’s Guarantees) help you meet compliance obligations without tying up your business cash flow.
What Is an Agent’s Bond?
An Agent’s Bond is a financial guarantee issued on behalf of a clearing agent or customs broker to SARS, ensuring the agent will fulfil its legal and financial obligations. This bond acts as a security mechanism to protect the state against losses arising from unpaid duties, taxes, or other liabilities in the event of default by the agent.
Common uses include:
-
Clearing goods through customs on behalf of importers/exporters
-
Acting as a licensed clearing agent for bonded warehouses
-
Ensuring proper handling of temporary imports or deferred duties

Real People,
Real Financial Freedom
"Perennity Wealth Management is knowledgeable and passionate about creating wealth and financial freedom for clients. They have a genuine interest in client’s financial needs.
Unlike other financial advisors who mainly focus on selling financial products, they conduct risk assessments for the entire portfolio, including real estate.
They also go beyond their areas of responsibility by assisting clients or referring them to people with expertise in a particular field.
I’m thrilled to have Perennity as a financial advisor firm.
"I've had financial advisors for 14 years and they just sold me policies and asked for referrals. On the other hand, Perennity Wealth Management has managed to sort out my portfolio in one month in a manner that I understand.
Great work indeed."
"For the first time I have a wholesome conversation with a financial advisor without them trying to push products on me, but instead demonstrate a thorough understanding of good personal finance principles and sharing with me his insight.
Such has been my interaction with Perennity Wealth Management in a nutshell."
"Nyiko is a highly driven and extremely knowledgeable wealth manager. I have worked very closely with him for 3 years and have seen firsthand, that his passion for wealth management and markets is only exceeded by his deep and authentic desire to help people achieve their goals.
A great wealth manager. Great company"
"Nyiko has an acute understanding of investments and is able to provide sound advice that is tailored to your needs. More importantly, he takes time to understand who you are so his services truly feel personalised.
It is always a pleasure working with Nyiko and Perennity Wealth Management."
“Nyiko is very well versed in the topics of personal finance and entrepreneurship. What I appreciate most about our relationship is that I know I can speak to him about elements of my finances that are outside of the scope of what financial services providers typically can speak to.
Nyiko has been my financial advisor since 2014, and when we got disconnected during the confusion brought about by my emigration to the UK, I can remember going to great lengths to get back into contact with him in particular once I was back on my feet again, as I knew that nobody else was as suited to helping me achieve my financial goals as he was.
In a nutshell, this is Nyiko, my financial advisor and coach.
Through this relationship, I have observed a radical transformation in my investment decisions and I am confident that I am on track to retiring well, at an age where I will be able to embrace and enjoy my retirement years fully.
Kudo to him and Perennity Wealth Management”
