Bank credit facilities are loans and lines provided bilaterally or via a syndicate, for working capital, capex and acquisitions. Matchpoint arranges and negotiates pricing, covenants and security on your behalf.

As part of our Debt practice, Matchpoint Partners has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions across four continents — and every debt mandate is led by a partner, from first call to close.

Bank credit facilities are loans and lines provided by banks — bilaterally or through a syndicate. They remain the backbone of corporate funding for working capital, capital expenditure and acquisitions. Matchpoint Partners arranges bilateral and syndicated facilities from regional banks and international lenders, and negotiates pricing, covenants and security on your behalf.

Bilateral facilities suit smaller, simpler needs; syndicated facilities spread larger amounts across a club of lenders.

Questions, answered

Bank Credit Facilities — frequently asked questions

Bilateral for smaller needs; syndicated to spread larger amounts across lenders.

Yes — we run the process and negotiate on your behalf.

Most facilities carry financial covenants — commonly leverage, interest-cover and net-worth tests — alongside information undertakings, negative pledges and restrictions on disposals and additional debt. The precise package depends on the borrower’s credit strength; negotiating sensible definitions and headroom at the outset prevents technical breaches later.

Banks expect audited financial statements, recent management accounts, a business plan or cash-flow forecast supporting repayment, details of existing borrowings and proposed security, and completed KYC on the company and its shareholders. Well-organised information shortens credit approval and strengthens your negotiating position on pricing and covenants.

Yes. Where trading performance has improved, security has strengthened or the original facility was priced for a riskier phase, a refinancing can reduce cost, extend tenor or release covenants. Running a competitive process across several lenders — rather than renegotiating with the incumbent alone — usually produces the best outcome.

Matchpoint originates senior, mezzanine, hybrid and structured debt from regional banks, international lenders and private credit funds, structured around your transaction. Tickets range from USD 10m to USD 500m+.

Private credit is non-bank lending from specialist funds, typically senior or unitranche, offering speed and flexibility. We maintain relationships with private credit funds active in the GCC and India.

Yes. We structure Sukuk and Shariah-compliant private credit, including blended structures pairing a Sukuk tranche with conventional debt.

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+.
