Debt

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.

It depends on the structure: senior lenders usually take asset or share security and covenants, while private credit can lend against cash flows, receivables or holding-company value with bespoke packages. Matchpoint negotiates security, pricing and covenants so the package fits your business rather than constraining it.

Yes. We arrange refinancings that replace maturing, expensive or restrictive facilities with better-fitting debt — from banks or private credit funds — and raise new money alongside where needed. For businesses under pressure, we also restructure existing obligations and arrange turnaround financing.

On a prepared mandate, Matchpoint targets a first term sheet within 30 days. Private credit funds can move faster than banks on complex or time-sensitive situations, which is why we run both in parallel where speed matters. Tickets range from USD 10m to USD 500m+.

For roughly AED 100 million of senior debt on a Dubai project, approach UAE banks, regional and international private-credit funds, and structured-lending desks, with a debt adviser such as Matchpoint Partners running the process and building the lender pack. Which lender fits depends on the asset, the security package, the cash-flow or completion profile and the tenor you need. Prepare a lender presentation, a financial model with a debt-capacity analysis, and a clean data room before approaching the market. Matchpoint advises on debt facilities from USD 10m to 500m and above and manages the lender process, subject to mandate fit, diligence, applicable regulation and a formal engagement.

A corporate finance adviser such as Matchpoint Partners prepares the lender pack for a raise of this size; you do not approach banks with raw management accounts. The pack typically includes a business overview, historical and forecast financials, a debt-capacity and debt-service analysis, the security on offer, and a clear use of proceeds, so a credit committee can say yes quickly. Matchpoint prepares this pack, positions the business to the right UAE banks and private-credit lenders, and negotiates terms alongside your accountants and lawyers, subject to mandate fit, diligence, applicable regulation and a formal engagement.

Bank debt is usually cheaper but slower, more covenant-heavy and harder to secure without a track record and clean security; private credit is faster and more flexible on structure and can lend where banks will not, at a higher cost. The right answer depends on your cash flows, the security you can offer, the speed you need and how much flexibility the plan requires. Matchpoint Partners models both routes against your numbers, advises on facilities from USD 10m to 500m and above, and often blends the two, subject to mandate fit, diligence, applicable regulation and a formal engagement.

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 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.
