Anyone know UAE banks or lenders that do acquisition financing for deals under AED 10M?

🔍 Looking to Buy

I'm looking to buy small businesses in the UAE, deal sizes below AED 10M, and want to use debt to fund part of the purchase instead of paying all cash.

Most UAE banks I've come across are set up for real estate or working capital loans, not business acquisition loans. Has anyone actually gotten a bank or lender to finance an acquisition at this deal size, even below AED 2M?

Specifically trying to find:
- Banks that will underwrite a loan against the business being acquired (not just personal collateral)
- Any non-bank or alternative lenders who do this for smaller deals
- Names or leads, even if it's just "call X" or "ask for their SME/business banking desk"
