Representative transaction

Debt facility for a UAE digital-marketing-services firm

A real Matchpoint mandate. The client identity is redacted and disclosed only under a signed NDA.

The situation. A digital-marketing-services firm in the UAE needed a debt facility to fund its growth without diluting ownership.

What we did. Matchpoint acted as debt adviser, structuring the facility and positioning the business to lenders comfortable with a services-sector cash-flow profile.

The outcome. The firm secured a debt facility to fund its growth on non-dilutive terms.

Media, Telecom & Entertainment — frequently asked questions

Media, digital-services, telecom and entertainment operating businesses seeking debt or growth capital, and qualified investors seeking secondary access to leading private platforms in the sector.

Qualified investors can access secondary participations in leading private technology and media platforms through our alternatives desk, subject to availability.

Twenty-two sectors across five groups: real estate, infrastructure and data centres; oil and gas, power and utilities, renewable energy, metals and mining and chemicals; industrials, business services, transportation and maritime; consumer and retail, food and beverage, healthcare and sports; and technology, media and telecom, the innovation economy, financial institutions, financial sponsors and the public sector.

Many sector pages carry a genuinely executed Matchpoint transaction, with client identities redacted and disclosed only under NDA. Where we are building named coverage, the page sets out our senior sector credentials and transferable capability honestly, rather than overstating a track record.

Practice areas describe what we do — equity, debt, M&A, alternatives and execution. Industries describe who we serve. Most mandates combine both: a sector view and the right capital product.

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.

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).
