What We Do

Simply put, Gulfmetrics provides a range of financial services and innovative solutions tailored to suit your organization’s business objectives.

Today, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for over 80 percent of the business in the Middle East and North Africa and contribute a similarly high percentage of the region’s jobs. Compared to large corporations, SMEs provide greater benefits to society in terms of both job creation and wealth distribution.

At the same time, the growth of most SMEs is hindered by a lack of access to three important services: financing, business development services such as BPO, and access to trade and capital markets.

Gulfmetrics has a solution to these problems. We partner with various investment platforms to provide SMEs with much-needed risk-sharing capital and business development services.

Our network of investment partners is vast and global in scope. As such, our client base includes project partners across the UAE, Europe and West Africa, and it is only growing.

Prior to presenting you with a tailored solution, and in close consultation with you, we first seek to understand your objectives and growth targets. Our area of expertise is in Equity and Capital Programs for SMEs. In addition, we can help your organization to leverage existing available funds to facilitate your future growth and expansion by preparing it for an Initial Public Offering. To many investors, the offering of stock in your company can be viewed as a definitive sign of a company's success. Gulfmetrics’ tailored solutions will give you access to this success.

Five-Pillar Framework For SMEs

Gulfmetrics operates on a five pillar framework of support in providing expert solutions to give SMEs access to the services they need to grow and thrive in today’s competitive global economy. This includes access to financial and business development services, access to markets, marketing and communication and listing on public exchanges.

Access to Financial Services

Businesses need investment capital to grow. However, due to their perceived risk, SMEs face countless obstacles when trying to access capital from commercial banks. Lack of access to finance opportunities presents a serious problem for SMEs.

To help bridge the financing gap, also referred to as the “missing middle,” Gulfmetrics has developed partnerships with select SME equity funds.

Gulfmetrics focuses on countries with a healthy pool of SMEs, and on sectors and enterprises with the best potential for growth and job creation. By providing seed and growth capital through our network of socially conscious equity fund partners, we work to open up access to finance for SMEs and spur the creation of sustainable, quality jobs.

Once we understand your company’s needs, Gulfmetrics is able to provide real financial engineering that will facilitate speedy access to the capital you require. We are able to access public markets and equity financing based upon your business objectives and availability.

Access to Business Development Services – BPO

For the SME, access to capital alone is no guarantee of success. To achieve its intended outcome, financing must be backed up with a concrete plan and solid Business Development Services (BDS). We provide a range of outsourced business processes that provide companies with the knowledge and tools they need to compete and grow. With more than 70+ years of combined experience, a short consultation with Gulfmetrics can be the first step to providing your organization access to a range of solutions tailored to suit your business needs.

Access to Markets

Are you content to develop your business domestically? You probably shouldn’t be. With today’s virtually borderless world of e-commerce, growth beyond your domestic borders is likely the next smart step in your business’ evolution. Gulfmetrics has developed innovative new ways to gain access to international trade and junior capital markets globally. Talk to us today about potential strategies to take your company to the international stage.

Access to Marketing and Communication

Your brand identity is reflected in almost every decision you make, from your company colors to your choice of language when disseminating a press release. Your potential customers translate these decisions into perceptions about who you are as a brand. And of course, this process can convert potential clients and customers into sales and revenues.

Our team at Gulfmetrics is expert at designing successful marketing and communications strategy. We use marketing & communications not only to retain your product’s current customer base but also to build that client base to help you achieve your growth targets.

Gulfmetrics can give you access to marketing and communication tools that meet your specific needs. We employ a wide range of integrated tools and solutions to propel your brand forward, define new markets and ultimately disseminate your key messages in the most effective way possible.

Listing on Public Markets

For many growing companies, "going public" or listing on the public equity markets means more than just selling stock in your company. It's a signal to the world that your business is legitimate, that you’re a success story.

That's why undertaking an IPO (initial public offering) has long been the ultimate goal for so many companies, from Amazon.com to Carl Zeiss. An IPO can not only provide a company with access to capital to fuel business growth and liquidity for founders and investors, it also provides the public market's stamp of approval.

Gulfmetrics’ team has extensive experience and expertise in this highly specialised area. Our team of market experts has its finger on the pulse of key markets around the world. We can help you plan for, and advise you on the process, and legal and administrative requirements for a successful public listing.
