Capital for those who build.
If you are developing a real asset in one of our focus sectors, here is how we partner and how to approach us.
What we can deploy.
We partner with project sponsors and operators as a principal, flexible on structure, disciplined on terms.
- Instruments
- Equity, joint venture, mezzanine and senior secured debt
- Holding horizon
- Three to seven years
- Geography
- GCC core, with select international real estate
Deal size is assessed case-by-case based on project scope, risk, and capital available at the time. The Firm does not publish a fixed minimum or maximum ticket size.
Structures we offer
We shape each commitment to the asset and the risk. Four structures cover most situations.
Senior Secured Debt
First-ranking securityBest for
Stabilised, income-producing assets seeking cost-efficient leverage.
Mezzanine & Structured
Subordinated / hybridBest for
Sponsors bridging the gap between senior debt and their own equity.
Bridge & Transitional
Short durationBest for
Time-sensitive acquisitions or refinancing ahead of a defined exit.
Joint-Venture Equity
Principal partnerBest for
Development and value-add projects where we partner as a principal.
What we look for
- A real, income-producing or income-capable asset — not a concept.
- Sponsors with proven delivery and their own capital at risk.
- A clear line of sight to value creation and eventual exit.
- Governance and documentation that can withstand institutional diligence.
How capital is considered.
- 01
Initial submission
Project overview, financials and corporate documentation.
- 02
Origination & screening
KYC, sanctions screening and a fit check against our focus areas.
- 03
Non-binding term sheet & mandate
Indicative terms are agreed and intent to proceed is confirmed. This creates no capital obligation on either side.
- 04
Investment Committee approval
A documented decision, never made by one individual.
- 05
Due diligence & structuring
Full underwriting review of the business plan and financials, and final structuring of the transaction.
- 06
Definitive documentation & funding
Binding legal documents drafted with time for the client's counsel to review, then capital released through licensed banking channels against agreed conditions.
A note on process integrity
Ufuq Rasikh Capital never requires a client to pay a fee, deposit or 'processing cost' to release capital that has already been approved. If anyone claiming to represent us asks for an upfront payment, that request did not come from this firm.
Before you approach us.
- Do you charge fees to review a project?
- No. We never charge a fee, deposit or "processing cost" to review or release capital. If anyone claiming to represent us requests an upfront payment, it did not come from this firm.
- How long does the process take?
- From a complete submission to a signed term sheet typically takes eight to sixteen weeks, depending on sector, complexity and the quality of documentation provided.
- Do you provide purely debt or equity?
- Both. We invest as a principal and are flexible on structure (equity, joint venture, mezzanine or senior secured debt) provided the terms fit the asset and the risk.
- Which sectors do you consider?
- Real estate, fintech and technology, agriculture and food security, healthcare, and energy and solar. Adjacent sectors such as logistics and education are considered case-by-case.
Bring us the project. We'll bring the discipline.
Introductions are made directly with a principal. Request a private conversation about your project or mandate: no intermediaries, no obligation.
