Matchpoint Partners is a partner-led corporate finance advisory firm based in the UAE. We raise equity and debt capital, structure real estate finance, advise on mergers and acquisitions, place funds with institutional investors, and provide access to US pre-IPO secondaries across the UAE, KSA, India and the UK.

Matchpoint arranges equity, senior and mezzanine debt, project finance, land acquisition finance and bulk inventory sales for UAE businesses and developers.

Matchpoint undertakes corporate finance, financing, M&A and fund-placement mandates from USD 5m upwards, subject to mandate fit, diligence, applicable regulation, capacity and a written engagement. Matchpoint has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions across eight sectors and four continents.

Matchpoint Partners is based in the UAE, with active coverage in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and deal activity across Europe, India, Singapore and the United States.

Engagements ordinarily combine a retainer with a success fee. Terms are agreed in writing before work begins and calibrated to the mandate’s size, scope and complexity.

It begins with a short, confidential scoping call and an NDA. A partner then structures the requirement, prepares the materials and runs a competitive process across the firm’s 5,000+ investor and lender relationships — leading personally from origination to close.

Eight sectors: technology, healthcare, real estate, energy, F&B, mining, media and financial services. Real estate and technology are the deepest practices, but the partner team has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions across all eight, on four continents.
