Sukuk, project finance, capital raising and M&A for Saudi businesses, developers and investors.
Matchpoint runs cross-border mandates into and out of Saudi Arabia — raising equity and debt, structuring Sukuk and project finance, and advising on M&A for Saudi sponsors and international investors.
We bring global capital to Vision 2030-aligned opportunities and connect Saudi investors to mandates across the UAE, India, the UK and the US.
Saudi Arabia’s development pipeline has changed who needs capital, and how quickly. Giga-projects and the wider Vision 2030 programme generate demand well beyond the headline developments themselves — contractors, suppliers, logistics operators and service businesses are all scaling at once, and many need structured working capital or project finance rather than another equity round. Matchpoint advises across that spectrum, from real estate and project finance for developers and sponsors to corporate finance for the businesses building around them.
For many Saudi sponsors, Sharia compliance is the starting point rather than an afterthought. We structure Sukuk and Islamic financing — including Murabaha-style facilities, Ijara and hybrid structures — and can run them in parallel with conventional debt where a board or counterparty requires it. That dual-track approach matters in practice: it widens the lender pool, keeps pricing honest, and lets a sponsor choose a structure on its merits rather than because only one institution offered terms. Debt mandates typically range from USD 10m to USD 500m+.
Saudi family groups and institutional investors sit on both sides of our mandates. Some are raising — carving out a division, bringing in a minority partner, or funding expansion into the UAE and beyond. Others are deploying, seeking access to mergers and acquisitions and direct opportunities across the GCC, India and the UK. Because Matchpoint works the KSA–UAE–UK corridor daily, we can move capital and mandates in either direction; our private capital handbook is a useful starting point for groups weighing a Gulf-wide strategy.
The large banks serve Saudi Arabia well at the sovereign and mega-cap end of the market. The mid-market is different: a SAR- or USD-denominated mandate of USD 5m–300m in equity, or a comparable debt or real estate requirement, rarely commands a senior banker’s sustained attention inside a global institution. At Matchpoint, a partner runs each mandate personally from first call to close — structuring, materials, the investor process and negotiation — and most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30–90 days. For Saudi founders and family groups, that means one accountable senior counterpart throughout.
What we do in KSA
Yes — Matchpoint structures and places Sharia-compliant Sukuk and Islamic facilities alongside conventional debt for Saudi and GCC businesses.
Yes. Businesses in the giga-project supply chain often need working capital, trade instruments and project-linked facilities rather than equity. We structure conventional and Sharia-compliant debt — typically USD 10m to USD 500m+ — and run a competitive process across banks and private credit funds active in KSA.
It depends on your investor base, board requirements and timetable. Sukuk and Murabaha-style facilities open access to Islamic liquidity in KSA and the wider GCC, while conventional debt can suit certain lenders and structures. We frequently run both tracks in parallel and let pricing and terms decide.
Yes. We advise UAE, UK and Indian businesses raising equity or debt to fund expansion into KSA, and we connect them with Saudi family groups and institutional investors seeking exposure to that growth. Equity tickets typically range from USD 5m to USD 300m.
For mid-market mandates, a boutique offers the senior attention, speed and discretion that larger institutions reserve for their biggest clients. A Matchpoint partner runs the mandate end to end, and most reach a first term sheet within 30–90 days — M&A typically takes 4–9 months.
Primarily a success fee with a modest retainer, agreed in writing up front and scaled to the size and complexity of the transaction — with no hidden costs.
Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30–90 days (M&A typically 4–9 months to close), depending on diligence readiness and structure.
A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement, prepare materials, run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading throughout.
