Capital Structuring & Power-Linked Financing Advisory — frequently asked questions

The right mix of debt, equity and hybrid capital — and how it is sequenced — materially affects cost, risk and returns on a capital-intensive, long-duration asset.

Yes — financing can be structured around secured power capacity and PPAs, and can use green or Sukuk instruments where appropriate.

Matchpoint arranges the full capital stack for data-center developers and operators — land and powered-shell acquisition finance, senior construction and project finance, mezzanine, equity and JV capital, plus take-out refinancing and sale-and-leaseback once a facility stabilises. Tickets range from USD 20m to USD 500m+.

No. Matchpoint is a corporate-finance and capital-introduction firm: we structure and raise the finance, introduce equity and debt investors and advise on M&A. We do not provide engineering, construction or facility-operations services — those are delivered by your own contractors and operators.

Contracted, long-term lease or offtake cash flows from creditworthy hyperscale and enterprise tenants give data centers infrastructure-like return profiles, while structural demand from AI and cloud underpins growth. We structure debt and equity around those contracted cash flows and the asset’s secured power and connectivity.

Matchpoint works primarily on a success fee, with a modest retainer to cover execution. Fees are 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, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.

A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.

Matchpoint Partners is based in the UAE and runs cross-border mandates across the UAE, KSA, India and the UK, with active deal activity in wider Europe, Singapore and the United States.

Matchpoint has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions, with equity tickets typically USD 5m–300m, debt USD 10m–500m+, real estate finance USD 20m–500m+, and fund placements for funds of USD 50m–1bn+.

Use the enquiry form, email ck.adya@matchpoint-partners.com, or call/WhatsApp +971 52 345 1119. Every mandate is led by a partner from the very first conversation.

Yes. Matchpoint runs discreet, confidential processes and discloses client identities only under a signed non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
