Fundraising & Corporate Finance Advisory in Dubai

Equity, debt and mezzanine capital raising (USD 5m–100m), pitch decks, financial models, valuations and M&A support for mid-market businesses in Dubai — partner-led from first call to close.

Overview

Matchpoint Partners is a corporate finance firm that raises capital for mid-market businesses in Dubai — equity, debt and mezzanine, typically USD 5m to 100m — and builds the investor-grade materials behind every raise: pitch decks, information memoranda, financial models, valuations and data rooms.

Dubai is our home market — Matchpoint is headquartered in Business Bay, and the majority of our $2bn+ transaction track record was originated here: project finance, receivables financing, growth equity and structured debt for Dubai businesses and developers. If you are raising capital in Dubai, you are speaking to a partner who has closed here, repeatedly.

We advise businesses in Dubai from our Dubai headquarters and London presence, with transactions executed across four continents and a curated base of 5,000+ investor and lender relationships spanning private equity, venture capital, private credit, banks, family offices and strategic investors. Key sectors: Real estate · Trade & logistics · Technology · F&B · Family businesses.

Market context

Dubai concentrates the widest investor base in the region — GCC family offices, international private credit funds, growth and venture investors, and strategics — yet its mid-market businesses still fall between conservative bank lending and processes built for larger tickets. Real-estate and trade businesses frequently raise against receivables, inventory or contracted cash flows rather than pure equity, and DIFC structures are common where an international investor base is involved.

The five routes

How mid-market businesses in Dubai raise capital

We model each route against your numbers and recommend the mix before you go to market.

Growth equity

Minority or significant-minority equity for revenue-generating businesses with a growth plan.

Structured debt & private credit

Senior, unitranche or asset-backed facilities for cash-generative businesses — non-dilutive.

Mezzanine & convertibles

Between debt and equity — useful when valuation is sensitive or security is thin.

Strategic investor round

Capital plus market access, distribution or supply-chain value from a corporate partner.

Family-office placement

Patient private capital for defensible, cash-generative businesses with a clear path.

Questions, answered

Fundraising in Dubai — frequently asked questions

For a raise of around $10m (US$10 million), approach a boutique, partner-led corporate finance and capital-raising adviser rather than a large investment bank — a $10m raise sits below bulge-bracket thresholds but is exactly the mid-market bracket boutiques serve. Matchpoint Partners is a corporate finance adviser for mid-market businesses in Dubai: we position the raise (growth equity, structured debt or private credit, mezzanine, a strategic investor round or a family-office placement), build the pitch deck, financial model and data room, and introduce you to a mapped list of suitable investors from 5,000+ relationships. Speak to a partner on +971 52 345 1119 or contact@matchpoint-partners.com.

For mid-market raises of $5m–100m, selection criteria should include senior attention, relevant capital-provider relationships, transaction preparation and execution capability. Matchpoint Partners advises companies and funds in Dubai on equity, debt, mezzanine and fund placement, with a partner leading every mandate and access to a network of 5,000+ investor, family-office and lender relationships.

Engagements ordinarily combine a retainer with a success fee. Terms are agreed in writing before work begins and calibrated to the mandate’s size, scope and complexity.

It depends on your cash flows, appetite for dilution and use of funds. Cash-generative businesses with assets or contracted revenue often suit structured debt or private credit; high-growth businesses usually suit equity; many raises blend the two. Matchpoint models both routes and recommends the mix before you go to market.

Yes — we are headquartered at The Prism Tower, Business Bay. Most Dubai mandates start with a face-to-face working session on your numbers.

Among others: USD 320m of project finance, a USD 190m receivables financing with tripartite escrow, USD 300m of structured land financing and multiple growth raises for Dubai businesses — client names shared under NDA.

GCC family offices, regional and international private credit funds, PE, venture investors and strategics — Dubai concentrates all of them, and our 5,000+ relationships are strongest here.
