You sell the asset and immediately lease it back, freeing capital while continuing to use it.
Corporates and owners wanting liquidity without giving up the premises.
A long lease with a financially strong occupier, rent that steps or indexes over time, and the tenant bearing most operating costs — broadly a triple-net profile. The stronger the covenant and the longer the committed term, the better the price achieved on the sale.
Operationally essential assets the business intends to occupy long term — headquarters, logistics facilities, industrial plants, clinics and showrooms — in locations with institutional demand. Specialised or short-life assets price poorly because the investor’s exit depends on re-letting or selling the property later.
It releases the full value of the asset rather than a loan-to-value portion, with no debt added to the balance sheet — but ownership and future appreciation pass to the investor. Businesses that prefer capital for growth over holding property tend to choose the leaseback.
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.
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.
