For investors & buyers

Evaluating a deal? Pressure-test it before you commit capital.

A good-looking opportunity and a sound investment aren't the same thing. We sit on your side of the table — screening targets, testing the commercial story, and pricing the risks that move valuation: revenue quality, customer concentration, founder dependence, integration cost — before capital is committed.

This is you if…

  • You're a family office: you can see the returns, but operational risk and founder dependence are hard to price from outside.
  • You're a strategic buyer: the synergy story is compelling — and you know integration is where deals die.
  • You're a foreign firm entering the UAE or wider GCC and need an independent read on the business behind the numbers.

The search and the acquisition fee, together

Both parts of the buy-side economics are stated before you pay for a search.

Find targets

A bounded, confidential search against an agreed screen.

Retained Target Search

AED 45,000 per 90-day cycle

One sector cluster, one geography · AED 22,500 at kickoff, AED 22,500 on delivery of the qualified-target package

Plus an acquisition fee of 2% of purchase price, minimum USD 40,000, on each completed acquisition of a Fiducia-introduced target, including within an 18-month tail. Search payments are not credited against it. The cycle starts after a signed engagement letter, an agreed screen, and evidence of funds. We sell the search, not the find: no guaranteed acquisition, number of qualified targets, or owner response.
