Matchpoint structures the full capital stack for UAE developers — senior secured debt, mezzanine with LandCo control, project finance, land acquisition finance, Sukuk and private credit, plus JV equity and bulk inventory sales. Tickets range from USD 20m to USD 500m+.
Land acquisition finance is bridge or term debt to fund the purchase of development land before construction. We arrange programmes — including Sukuk and private credit at ~8.5%–12% target yields — for developers in Saadiyat, Reem Island, SZR and Dubai Islands.
A bulk inventory sale is the disposal of a block of completed or off-plan units to a single investor or institution at a negotiated discount. We run bulk SPA, OQOOD assignment and milestone-payment processes for developers seeking liquidity.
Yes. Under-construction projects are financed through milestone-linked project finance and receivables financing — capital advanced against contracted off-plan sales, secured via tripartite escrow and assignment of cash flows. Matchpoint structures both for UAE developers, alongside mezzanine for cash-flow smoothing.
It is junior debt secured by a pledge over the land-holding company (LandCo), giving the lender step-in rights and often an equity kicker. It sits behind senior debt, letting developers raise more of the capital stack without selling equity in the project outright.
Yes. The practice covers the UAE, KSA, India and the UK, including cross-border structures that connect GCC lenders and investors to international projects. Recent activity spans Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Marjan and Bangalore, with tickets from USD 20m 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.
