Fundraising & Corporate Finance Advisory in London
Equity, debt and mezzanine capital raising (USD 5m–100m), pitch decks, financial models, valuations and M&A support for mid-market businesses in London — partner-led from first call to close.
Matchpoint Partners is a corporate finance firm that raises capital for mid-market businesses in London — 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.
London is Europe's deepest capital market — and precisely because of that depth, mid-market businesses get lost between SME lenders and institutional processes. Matchpoint maintains a London presence alongside its Dubai headquarters; our Managing Partner spent 15+ years in the City (Morgan Stanley, HSBC, Lloyds among them), and the UK–GCC capital corridor — Gulf money into UK assets — is one of our core routes.
We advise businesses in London 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: Financial & business services · Technology · Real estate · Consumer · Healthcare.
London is Europe's deepest capital market, and precisely because of that depth, mid-market businesses get lost between SME lenders and institutional processes. The UK–GCC corridor — Gulf capital into UK growth, science and real assets — is one of the more reliable routes for a London business, and the choice between debt, private credit and equity turns on the cash-flow profile more than the headline.

Fundraising in London — 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 London: 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 London 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.
