About Ruya
Ruya (means “Vision” in Arabic) was established to provide flexible funding solutions to private sector companies in developing markets where traditional financing markets leave a significant funding gap, particularly in the small to medium-sized enterprise segment. This segment is vital for the regional economies and plays an essential role in achieving GDP growth, diversification, and advancing the goals of regional socio-economic agendas. We provide bespoke funding solutions to this segment while delivering our investors a superior risk-adjusted return with regular current income.
What We Do
We provide innovative, alternative financing solutions for mid-market private sector companies within the region in situations where the funding needs are not well served by the traditional financing markets. We provide capital solutions to companies with strong business fundamentals, cash generating capabilities and proven management teams with a demonstrated track record of successful execution.
