About Vama

A boutique built on twelve years of doing the work.

Vama Global was founded on a simple observation: the mid-market — businesses too large for fintech NBFCs and too small for global banks — is systematically underserved on every dimension that matters. Capital. Counsel. Structuring. Speed.

We exist to close that gap. Our background spans complex trade finance structuring at one of the world's largest commodities firms — including borrowing-base facilities of $200M+ executed across 50+ global banks — together with treasury management, M&A advisory and active physical polymer trading.

Headquartered in Dubai's Meydan Free Zone, we serve founders, family businesses and capital partners across the GCC.

Practice Areas

Four practices. One firm. Built for the underserved middle.

Each practice draws on the others. Trade finance informs M&A. Treasury sharpens structuring. Trading keeps us grounded in real commerce. Capital flows from relationships built deal by deal.

Structuring Expertise

Where institutional structuring meets entrepreneurial speed.

Our edge is structuring. From $200M+ borrowing-base facilities executed for global commodities firms across 50+ banks, to lean capital frameworks for emerging mid-market businesses — we know what banks need, what investors expect, and what founders can actually live with.

That experience translates directly into how we advise companies today: building international shareholding architectures designed to attract capital, asset-backed financing structures that unlock balance-sheet liquidity, and trade finance solutions tailored to the realities of cross-border GCC commerce.

We work across the UAE and the wider GCC — markets we know on the ground, not from a distance.

Our Approach

Senior judgment. Operator credibility. Modern execution.

What separates Vama Global isn't only what we do — it's how we do it. Three principles shape every engagement.

We do the work ourselves.

No layers of analysts. The senior who pitches the engagement is the senior who structures, executes and signs off. You get judgment, not handovers.

We have skin in the game.

We trade physical commodities. We invest in manufacturing. We structure deals from a producer's seat. Our advice is grounded in real-world commerce, not finance theory.

We use AI as a multiplier.

Modern workflows let a small team punch far above its weight. Faster diligence, deeper analysis, sharper memos — without losing the human judgment that actually closes deals.
