Most companies that fail to raise don’t fail on the idea. They fail on preparation.
The model doesn’t reconcile to the accounts. The cap table has an undocumented early promise in it. There’s no data room, so diligence takes three months and the momentum dies. We prepare companies to be credible in front of people who write cheques — and then we make the introductions.
What this service is, and what it is not.
This service line is advisory and introductory. Oznet does not provide regulated investment advice, does not arrange, promote or deal in securities, does not guarantee that funding will be obtained on any terms or at all, and is not remunerated on the basis that it will be. We prepare the company, we make introductions where we can, and we support the process — the decision to invest is the investor’s and the decision to accept is the client’s.
Readiness first. Introductions second.
We don’t make an introduction before a company can withstand the meeting. Doing so spends a relationship that took years to build and rarely gets a second use.
Investor readiness
Business plan, financial model built to reconcile to the actual accounts, structured data room, pitch materials, and a cap table and structure review while it is still cheap to fix.
Funding introductions
Investment companies, venture and private equity contacts, private investors and angel networks — where we hold a relevant relationship and the company is ready.
Debt and trade finance
Banks and lenders for working capital, plus trade, invoice and asset finance. Often the cheaper answer to what a founder had assumed was an equity problem.
Joint venture structuring
Vehicle and jurisdiction, ownership and contribution, profit sharing, governance, deadlock and exit provisions — written for the disagreement, not the handshake.
Partner search
Screening and introduction of prospective partners, distributors and local counterparties, for foreign companies that need a credible UAE side to the arrangement.
Transaction support
Diligence coordination alongside your own legal counsel, valuation support, and the integration work after the transaction closes.
Not sure where to start? Forty minutes, no cost, no licence quoted.
Your activity, your customers, your visas — and a written view of the structure that fits, with the case against it. The person you speak to is the person who keeps your file.
Structured for the disagreement, not the handshake.
Joint ventures are agreed between people who get along, and tested by circumstances where they don’t. The provisions that matter — what happens at deadlock, when one party wants out, when one fails to fund, when performance falls short — are the ones most often left out, because raising them feels like bad faith at the outset. It is considerably worse faith to raise them for the first time in a dispute.
Four situations we’re usually called into.
Raising for the first time
Companies that are unsure what an investor will actually ask for, and would rather find out before the meeting than during it.
Seeking debt, not equity
Established businesses that need working capital or trade finance and shouldn’t be giving away ownership to get it.
Looking for a UAE partner
Foreign companies that need a joint venture counterparty here, screened properly rather than met at a conference.
Preparing to sell
Owners readying a business for sale or partial exit, where the structure and the records have to survive a buyer’s diligence.
We name no investor, fund or funding provider anywhere on this site, and publish no figure raised and no success rate. Introductions are made in confidence and are not marketing material.
What we’re asked before this work starts.
Can you guarantee we’ll raise?
No, and any firm that says otherwise is selling something it doesn’t control. We prepare the company and introduce it where we hold a relevant relationship. The decision to invest is the investor’s.
Do you take a percentage of what we raise?
No. We are not remunerated on the basis that funding will be obtained — which is deliberate, because success-fee incentives push advisers toward the introduction before the company is ready.
How long does the readiness work take?
Typically three to six weeks, depending on the state of the existing records and how much of the model has to be rebuilt to reconcile to the accounts.
We think we need investment — is that right?
Sometimes not. Part of the work is assessing which route suits the stage, sector and structure. A working capital gap solved with equity is an expensive way to fix a problem a bank would have handled.
Does the structure we set up affect this later?
Considerably. Cap table and ownership problems are cheap to fix before a round and expensive afterwards — which is why this sits alongside company formation rather than separately from it.
