What Corporate Finance & Investment covers
Corporate finance decisions such as raising capital, evaluating an acquisition or testing a new venture depend on analysis that can stand up to a bank, an investor or a board asking hard questions. A spreadsheet built to support a conclusion someone had already reached will not.
This practice covers financial modeling and business valuation, feasibility studies for new ventures or expansions, and debt, equity and Islamic finance advisory for companies raising capital or structuring an investment. It also includes investment support through the Ministry of Investment (MISA).
Capital raising and listings are regulated by the Capital Market Authority, headquartered in KAFD, so work for those transactions is built to be review-ready.
What separates work that holds up from work that does not is rarely the sophistication of the spreadsheet. It is whether the assumptions behind the numbers (growth rates, margin trajectories, working capital needs) are defensible for your business and sector. It is also whether the model has been stress-tested against the questions a skeptical reviewer will ask, not only against the scenario the client hoped to see.
Timing matters as much as technical accuracy. A valuation or feasibility study prepared months before it is needed, well ahead of a financing deadline or a board decision, leaves room to address the weaknesses the analysis surfaces. One rushed together the week before a deadline locks in whatever assumptions were available at the time, weak or not.
We also state clearly what a model or valuation cannot tell you, not just what it can. Every projection rests on assumptions that could turn out wrong, and a credible analysis names its key sensitivities instead of presenting a single confident number as if no uncertainty sits behind it.

How we work with clients in this practice
We build financial models and valuations grounded in defensible assumptions specific to your business and sector, not a generic template with your company name inserted. A model that collapses under a lender's or investor's first round of questions is worse than having none.
For capital raising and structuring work, we help identify the financing approach that fits the transaction: conventional debt, Islamic structures, equity or a combination. The aim is to match structure to transaction, not to default to whichever structure is most familiar.
This work spans a wide range of triggers: a company evaluating whether a new facility or market entry is worth pursuing, or a family business preparing financials for external investment for the first time. It also covers groups approaching a bank for financing who need a model that survives credit committee scrutiny, not a generic projection built around a hoped-for outcome.
Questions about Corporate Finance & Investment
Do you help with both raising capital and evaluating investments we're considering making?
Yes, the same underlying financial modeling and valuation discipline applies whether you're raising capital or evaluating a target for investment or acquisition.
How detailed does a feasibility study need to be?
This depends on the decision it's supporting and the audience reviewing it. A study supporting an internal go/no-go decision can be lighter than one being submitted to a bank or the Ministry of Investment for licensing purposes.
Can you support Islamic finance structuring?
Yes. Structuring Sharia-compliant financing (murabaha, ijara, sukuk and related structures), matched to the underlying transaction, is a core part of this practice.
Do you work directly with banks and investors, or only prepare materials for us?
Both, depending on what's needed. We prepare the underlying models and materials to a standard that holds up under scrutiny, and can participate directly in bank or investor discussions where that adds value.
How much does a business valuation typically cost, and what drives that?
This depends heavily on the purpose: a valuation for internal planning is lighter than one prepared for a dispute, a sale or a submission to a regulator. The complexity of your business structure and available financial history also matters.
Can you model scenarios where we're uncertain about key assumptions?
Yes. Sensitivity and scenario analysis showing how outcomes shift under different assumptions is standard practice, since a single-point projection rarely reflects the uncertainty a decision involves.
