PE fundraising requires a different set of materials than VC. PE firms run structured processes with formal due diligence. Every document they receive signals something about the quality of the management team and their advisors. These are the materials that open doors — and keep them open.
The primary document provided to PE investors — company overview, market position, management team, 3–5 years historical financials with EBITDA normalisation, and 3–5 year financial projections. Structured to answer the questions PE investment teams ask, in the format they expect.
A 40–60 slide deep-dive presentation for management meetings with shortlisted PE investors — covering the business model, competitive position, growth strategy, management team, and financial highlights. Structured so management can present clearly and handle Q&A from PE investment professionals.
Fully integrated 3-statement model with EBITDA normalisation, working capital analysis, capex schedule, and 3–5 year projections. An LBO model showing investor returns (IRR and MOIC) under different leverage structures, entry multiples, and exit assumptions. Built to Big 4 due diligence standards.
Structured virtual data room covering corporate documents, shareholder agreements, contracts, IP and regulatory licences, financial statements, management accounts, and HR records. Organised in the structure PE firms expect — so that financial, legal, and commercial due diligence runs efficiently.
A one-page anonymised summary (teaser) used to approach PE investors before they sign an NDA — covering industry, geography, financial highlights, and transaction rationale. The document that determines whether a PE firm will take the meeting.
Investor targeting and outreach, NDA management, process letter coordination, management presentation scheduling, due diligence management, bid letter review, and term sheet support. Full process management so the management team stays focused on running the business.
Profitable UAE businesses with AED 5M+ EBITDA seeking capital to accelerate growth — geographic expansion (UAE to KSA, GCC to MENA), new product lines, technology investment, or acquisition financing. PE growth capital is equity — no debt service requirement, and the PE firm brings strategic value alongside the capital.
Management teams looking to buy out a shareholder, acquire a business from a family, or undertake a secondary buyout. PE firms fund MBOs and MBIs across GCC sectors — retail, healthcare, business services, manufacturing, and technology. We prepare the materials and negotiate the deal structure.
Shareholders seeking partial liquidity — selling 30–60% to a PE firm while retaining operational control and participation in future upside. Common in UAE family businesses where the founding generation is transitioning to professional management and the next generation wants liquidity without a full business sale.
UAE and GCC family offices are increasingly direct investors, particularly in the AED 10M–AED 100M deal range where traditional PE firms may not deploy. We advise on positioning for family office co-investment alongside or instead of institutional PE — targeting the significant pool of family office capital across Dubai, Riyadh, Kuwait, and Abu Dhabi.
