Project Funding in UAE – 3M$ to 28M$ with No Upfront Fees
Access institutional-grade project financing through a UAE-based fund for real estate, infrastructure, energy, agriculture, logistics and high-value strategic projects, with no upfront payments and a fixed 3.5% interest rate.
For serious sponsors, developers and corporate decision-makers only. This is not a retail product and not an invitation to the public. All projects are subject to full KYC/AML, feasibility review and fund committee approval.
Fixed annual interest: 3.5%, with:
- Loan term: 5 years (renewable)
- Grace period: 12–18 months
- Early repayment: no penalty
- Accepted collateral: Insurance Surety Bond
- No need to mortgage land or buildings when structure is approved.
- Optional equity participation (10–20%) for select high-potential projects.
Decision & Timelines
Once the full file is submitted, the fund’s committee typically issues a decision within 5 to 30 business days, depending on project complexity and document quality.
Transform Ambitious Projects into Fully Funded Realities
Many viable projects never reach execution because traditional lenders demand excessive collateral, high interest rates or unrealistic credit history. Our role at NNRV Trade Partners is to bridge this gap by connecting solid projects with structured funding from a UAE-based institutional fund, under clear and transparent conditions.
This framework is designed for serious sponsors that need more than a simple bank loan: longer grace periods, flexible repayment and institutional backing that support sustainable growth, rather than short-term pressure.
Designed For
- Project developers needing 3M$–28M$ financing.
- Industrial, energy, logistics and infrastructure players.
- Public-private partnerships and regional development projects.
- Companies seeking predictable long-term financing.
Not Designed For
- Very small projects or micro-entrepreneurship (< 3M$).
- Purely speculative or unstructured ventures.
- Individuals without any corporate or SPV structure.
- Projects unable to produce a reliable business plan.
