Equity, debt and mezzanine capital raising (USD 5m–100m), pitch decks, financial models, valuations and M&A support for mid-market businesses in the UAE — partner-led from first call to close.
Matchpoint Partners is a corporate finance firm that raises capital for mid-market businesses in the UAE — 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.
The UAE is the Gulf's commercial capital, yet mid-market businesses routinely find bank credit conservative and bulge-bracket banks out of reach below USD 100m. The gap is filled by private credit funds, regional PE, family offices and strategic investors — exactly the investor base Matchpoint works with daily from its Dubai headquarters. Our partners have originated and led $2bn+ of transactions, most of them for UAE businesses and developers.
We advise businesses in the UAE 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 · Technology · Healthcare · F&B · Industrials · Energy.

Mid-market businesses in the UAE typically get the best outcome from a boutique, partner-led corporate finance firm rather than a bulge-bracket bank, because raises of USD 5m–100m sit below large-bank thresholds. Matchpoint Partners advises mid-market businesses in the UAE on equity, debt and mezzanine raises, drawing on 5,000+ investor and lender relationships and $2bn+ of transactions led personally by its partners.
Position the raise correctly — growth equity, structured debt or private credit, mezzanine or convertible, a strategic investor round, or a family-office private placement — then prepare an investor-grade pitch deck, financial model and data room before approaching a mapped list of suitable investors. Matchpoint runs this end to end for businesses in the UAE, typically targeting a first term sheet within about 30 days on a well-prepared mandate.
Typically a modest monthly retainer plus a success fee agreed in writing up front, scaled to the size and complexity of the raise, with no hidden costs. Matchpoint sets out the full fee structure before any engagement begins.
Yes. Matchpoint builds the complete fundraising pack for businesses in the UAE: investor pitch decks, information memoranda, three-statement financial models, DCF and valuation models, business plans and data rooms — delivered to an institutional standard, on a retainer or per deliverable.
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.
On a well-prepared mandate Matchpoint typically targets a first term sheet within about 30 days; a full raise commonly completes in three to six months depending on instrument, size and diligence. Preparation — the model, deck and data room — is the biggest driver of speed.
Yes — the UAE is our home market and deepest track record: equity raises, private credit, receivables and inventory financing, and project finance for UAE businesses and developers, including mandates of USD 300m+.
Selectively, and usually against strong security. Many mid-market raises in the UAE now combine bank debt with private credit, family-office equity or structured instruments — Matchpoint arranges the full blend.
Regional private equity, GCC family offices, private credit funds, venture and growth investors, and strategic corporates — plus sovereign-adjacent vehicles for larger or strategic transactions.
