Debt FAQs

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 30–90 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+.

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.
