OUR SERVICES
Every service starts with a problem and ends with a number.
Investors want stronger returns than fixed bank interest, but lack access to vetted projects.
FinCorp connects investors directly to real projects, structured as profit-sharing partnerships instead of interest-based loans.
Investors become genuine partners in a project's success, with returns tied to real performance.
High borrowing cost, high debt and gearing, high financial risk, and harsh bank agreements.
A dedicated legal and compliance team manages and restructures the debt, keeping it fully compliant and uniformly controlled.
Higher dividend payouts and enhanced capital structure.
Lack of due diligence during a merger or acquisition.
Comprehensive economic, financial, shareholder agreement (SHA), and HR due diligence.
Early identification of hidden transaction risk, before terms are finalised.
Poor short-term working-capital management, weak liquidity, low equity, and a low credit rating.
Engineered capital structuring, plus a full review and restructuring of accounts receivable and accounts payable, enforced through legal contracts.
A completely restructured, stronger balance sheet and improved credit position.
Weak market research, high interest rates, undiversified credit, and concentrated risk.
Control testing and debt portfolio diversification, aligned to global risk standards.
Greater financial stability and reduced default risk.
No legally binding succession plan, no clearly designated successor, and a leadership pipeline that has never been tested against real authority.
A dedicated legal team formalises succession into an enforceable framework, a Family Council is established with defined governing authority, and identified successors receive structured development against clear leadership criteria.
The business continues operating at full capacity through any leadership transition, backed by a governance structure that lenders, investors, and the next generation can all rely on.
OUR SERVICES · 01
Access Sharia-compliant capital structured around shared performance, not fixed interest.
FinCorp is the structuring partner investors and family offices turn to for Sharia-compliant private capital. We work across the full lifecycle of a partnership — sourcing and screening investment-grade projects, structuring deal terms, and providing oversight through to profit distribution — bringing the same discipline institutional investors expect from any structured product.
THE CHALLENGE
Investors seeking returns beyond fixed bank interest often lack direct access to well-structured, thoroughly vetted opportunities. Without an intermediary who understands both the capital markets and the underlying project economics, promising deals go unfunded, or poorly negotiated.
HOW FINCORP HELPS
Identify and rigorously vet investment-grade projects across priority sectors before capital is committed.
Build deal terms on partnership principles, fully aligned to Sharia and regulatory requirements.
Monitor performance from origination through to profit distribution, protecting investor interests throughout.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Investment structured on partnership principles, with no interest-based component.
Returns tied to the underlying project's actual performance, not a fixed rate.
Access to pre-screened, investment-grade opportunities across priority sectors.
Continued monitoring from origination through to profit distribution.
OUR EXPERTISE & APPROACH
FinCorp's leadership includes professionals drawn from HSBC, Citigroup, and the Royal Bank of Scotland, with a track record advising family groups whose holdings run into the billions. We bring an investor's mindset to every mandate — pragmatic in structuring, rigorous in screening, and held to the same investment-grade standard institutional capital expects elsewhere. This is combined with direct experience of how Sharia-compliant capital moves in this specific market, not a generalist framework adapted for it.
WHY IT MATTERS
Profit-sharing structures align investor and project outcomes directly: when the underlying business performs, investor returns reflect that performance rather than being capped at a predetermined rate. FinCorp structures these opportunities with the same discipline institutional investors expect from any structured product, delivered to a board or family office as a fully underwritten proposal, not a concept.

Restructure exposure before it constrains your balance sheet.
THE CHALLENGE
High leverage, restrictive covenants, and elevated financing costs compound quickly, particularly when governance and compliance frameworks haven't kept pace with growth. Left unaddressed, this combination limits capital allocation and reduces strategic flexibility — precisely the flexibility a board needs when market conditions shift.
HOW FINCORP HELPS
Deployment of a dedicated legal and compliance team to review and renegotiate existing facilities.
End-to-end debt restructuring, moving exposure off-balance-sheet where structurally appropriate.
Full alignment with regulatory and Sharia compliance requirements throughout.
Consolidation of fragmented debt into a single, controlled structure.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Renegotiated facilities and consolidated debt reduce the overall cost of capital.
Exposure moved off-balance-sheet where structurally appropriate, freeing capacity for growth.
Every structure aligned with regulatory and Sharia requirements throughout.
A cleaner balance sheet supports higher, more sustainable distributions.
WHY IT MATTERS
A restructured balance sheet typically supports stronger dividend capacity and a materially improved capital position, giving management room to pursue growth rather than service legacy debt. For the board, it converts a standing liability into a managed, reportable position.

Know exactly what you are acquiring, and what it will take to integrate, before you sign.
THE CHALLENGE
Mergers and acquisitions carry outsized financial and reputational risk when due diligence is treated as a formality rather than a discipline. FinCorp's feasibility studies are built to surface the risks standard checklists miss — commercial, financial, legal, and human capital — well before terms are finalised, and before a board is asked to approve them.
HOW FINCORP HELPS
Comprehensive financial and economic due diligence across the target's full capital structure.
Detailed review of shareholder agreements (SHA) and their downstream implications for control and exit.
HR and organisational due diligence, identifying retention risk and cultural integration challenges early.
Clear, prioritised risk findings delivered before terms are finalised, not after.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Commercial, financial, legal, and human capital risk surfaced before terms are finalised.
Findings that let boards negotiate from strength, or walk away with confidence.
Early visibility into retention risk and cultural fit, before day one.
Documented findings that stand up to board and investment-committee scrutiny.
WHY IT MATTERS
The cost of an unexamined risk rises sharply once a transaction has closed. A rigorous feasibility study gives boards and investment committees the evidence base to negotiate from strength, or to walk away from a deal that does not hold up to scrutiny.

Turn a strained balance sheet into a source of strategic flexibility.
THE CHALLENGE
Weak liquidity, mismanaged working capital, and a deteriorating credit position rarely improve on their own. They compound, quarter after quarter, until financing options narrow and costs rise. Balance Sheet Optimisation addresses the structural causes, not just the symptoms — the distinction a board needs to see before approving a turnaround plan.
HOW FINCORP HELPS
A full diagnostic review of accounts receivable and accounts payable, including billing and credit cycles.
Legal enforcement of improved payment terms and contractual protections.
Redesigned credit cycles aligned to the business's actual cash conversion needs.
Complete balance sheet restructuring, from working capital through to long-term capital structure.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Redesigned credit cycles aligned to actual cash conversion needs.
A restructured balance sheet that lenders view more favourably.
Legal enforcement of improved terms and contractual protections.
Freed-up operating cashflow strengthens your position with lenders and counterparties.
WHY IT MATTERS
A properly optimised balance sheet improves credit standing, frees up operating cashflow, and strengthens management's negotiating position with lenders and counterparties alike.

Concentrated risk is a decision, whether or not anyone made it deliberately.
THE CHALLENGE
Businesses that rely on a single credit source, operate without systematic market research, or lack tested internal controls carry risks that often go unrecognised until conditions change. FinCorp's approach is built to identify concentration and inefficiency before they become losses — and before a board discovers them in a downturn.
HOW FINCORP HELPS
Independent control testing to identify weaknesses in existing risk frameworks.
Diversification of debt portfolios across multiple sources and structures.
Reduction of risk concentration through structured, phased rebalancing.
Alignment of credit and market risk practices with recognised global standards.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Independent testing surfaces weaknesses before they become losses.
Debt and credit sources spread across multiple structures, not one.
Risk practices benchmarked against recognised international standards.
A more stable financial position, tested rather than assumed.
WHY IT MATTERS
A diversified, well-tested risk position translates directly into financial stability, and materially reduces the probability and cost of default.

The businesses that outlast their founders are the ones that planned to.
How does a family enterprise protect decades of value from a single point of failure? How does the next generation move from potential successors to a governing body the market trusts? These are boardroom questions, and they call for a structural answer — not a private understanding.
THE CHALLENGE
Family businesses and closely held companies carry a structural vulnerability that rarely appears on a balance sheet: the absence of a legally binding, clearly communicated succession plan. In its place, informal understanding stands in for governance — until a departure, planned or unplanned, exposes the gap. What follows is rarely just an operational disruption. It is a test of investor confidence, banking relationships, and enterprise value, played out at the moment the business can least afford it.
HOW FINCORP HELPS
Legal structuring that converts informal succession understanding into a binding, enforceable framework.
Formation of a Family Council with defined authority over succession and leadership decisions.
Structured development and assessment of identified successors against defined leadership criteria.
A documented governance roadmap sequencing the leadership transition end to end.
Alignment of succession planning with shareholder agreements, ownership structure, and estate considerations.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The business continues at full capacity through a leadership transition, without a pause in decision-making authority.
A binding framework replaces informal understanding, lowering the likelihood of ownership or leadership disputes.
A Family Council with defined authority governs the process, rather than leaving it to individual discretion.
Banks, investors, and partners see continuity risk addressed before it becomes a concern.
WHY IT MATTERS
For boards and controlling families alike, succession risk is enterprise risk. With a formal, legally binding plan in place, the business continues to operate at full capacity through a leadership transition — rather than pausing, or fracturing, at the moment it can least afford to. FinCorp structures this transition with the same rigour institutional investors bring to any governance mandate: documented, enforceable, and built to withstand scrutiny from lenders, minority shareholders, and the next generation alike.

MEDIA COVERAGE
FinCorp Global only references deals that are already public. Two landmark transactions associated with our leadership's track record were covered by regional trade press.
King Abdullah Port — the region's first fully privately-owned port — signed a 14-year, SAR 2.7 billion (c.US$720mn) murabaha facility with SABB and Arab National Bank to fund a southern-basin expansion, doubling annual container capacity to 6 million TEU.
Emaar, The Economic City — developer of King Abdullah Economic City — secured a SAR 2 billion (c.US$533mn) Islamic murabaha loan from Saudi British Bank to fund residential and infrastructure development, collateralised by its stake in the Ports Development Company.
These transactions took place prior to FinCorp Global's founding in October 2022 and are referenced as part of our leadership's public-domain track record, consistent with our corporate profile.
