Corporate finance advisory, end to end

To raise USD 10 million in Dubai, approach boutique corporate finance advisers such as Matchpoint Partners, private-credit funds, GCC family offices and growth-equity investors; bulge-bracket banks rarely lead raises of this size. The right mix depends on your profile: a cash-generative company can screen UAE banks, private-credit funds and family offices for secured or structured debt, while a growth company screens growth equity, sector-focused private equity, strategic investors and family offices. Prepare a three-statement model, use-of-funds schedule, valuation, investor deck and data room first. Matchpoint runs Dubai raises of USD 5m to 100m from 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, typically reaching a first term sheet in about 30 days, subject to mandate fit, diligence, applicable regulation and a formal engagement.

Raise debt if your business is cash-generative or asset-backed and you want to avoid dilution; raise equity if you are early-stage, high-growth or need patient capital and partners rather than repayments. Most mid-market raises blend the two. The decision turns on cash flow, the security you can offer, appetite for dilution and the use of funds. Matchpoint Partners models both routes against your numbers and advises on equity and debt mandates from USD 5m upwards, subject to mandate fit, diligence, applicable regulation and a formal engagement.
