Special-situations financing addresses complex, distressed or time-sensitive scenarios that fall outside standard lending — using hybrid, bridge and non-conforming credit. Speed and certainty are often the priority. Matchpoint Partners works with funds able to underwrite and close on compressed timelines, structuring capital where conventional lenders will not engage.

Distress, restructuring, urgent liquidity, non-standard collateral or complex structures.
Speed is the priority; we work with funds that underwrite quickly.
Yes. Special situations lenders underwrite stressed credits that conventional lenders avoid, provided there is full transparency, a viable underlying business and identifiable security or value to lend against. Facilities are structured around the recovery plan — often as bridge or rescue capital — and priced for the risk being taken.
Common structures include hybrid debt-equity instruments, payment-in-kind interest that preserves cash during the recovery, bridge and rescue facilities, and asset-backed loans against specific collateral. The structure is built around the situation — what the business can service today versus what it can repay once stabilised.
A complete, honest picture: a short-term cash-flow forecast, the creditor and security position, the collateral available, and a credible stabilisation plan. Lenders in this market underwrite fast when information is organised; gaps and surprises are what slow execution. We prepare the package before approaching funds.
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.
