Corporate finance and value creation for the UAE market

Both. We help grow the value of the business and run the finance function day to day (reporting, forecasting, KPIs, investor relations), and we lead the financing, sale or acquisition when the moment comes.

Yes, and it is one of the first questions a serious buyer or investor asks. Licensing, ownership rules and share-transfer mechanics differ between mainland companies and the various free zones, and some transfers need approval from the relevant authority. None of this blocks a good deal, but it shapes structure, timeline and documentation, so it belongs in the preparation rather than the negotiation. We build it into the process plan from the start, alongside your legal advisors.

Directly, quickly, and on trust in the numbers. UAE family capital tends to move without the committee layers of institutional funds, but it is unforgiving of loose materials: the family office that likes your business will still test the accounts, the forecast and the story behind them. We prepare companies for exactly those conversations, and we also work on the other side, supporting family offices with valuation, diligence and execution when they invest.

It is harder here than founders would like. UAE bank lending is conservative, typically secured, and personal guarantees remain common for private companies. The realistic path is to strengthen the file: clean financials, a visible cash flow history and a sensible ask, then a proper process across several lenders rather than accepting the first structure offered. We assess realistic capacity, prepare the lender materials, and negotiate terms, including guarantee scope, from an informed position.

Yes, and much of our UAE work has a cross-border leg: companies here expanding abroad, and international buyers and investors entering the region through the UAE. Whichever direction the deal runs, we manage the local mechanics on both ends as a single process.

Just a sense of what you're trying to achieve. Everything else, from accounts to forecasts to investor materials, can follow once we know where you're headed. Don't wait until things feel ready; early conversations are usually the most valuable ones.
