At Funding Souq, our core values revolve around offering investment and borrowing opportunities that align with Shariah principles. These opportunities are arranged through a Murabaha structure, which is widely recognized as the industry standard for Islamic business finance. We have obtained our Shariah compliance certificate from Dar Al Sharia, a subsidiary of Dubai Islamic Bank. To ensure our commitment to these principles, our in-house Sharia Supervisory Board diligently evaluates each investment opportunity, conducting regular reviews of our processes.

Risk Disclosure

Business financing exposes your capital to risks, particularly in case of early-stage businesses. The risk of default can result in the loss of all or part of your investment, incur costs or delays in being paid. Each financing facility will have a finance contract, entered into between the business, the investor and Funding Souq, acting as investors’ Investment Agent. Funding Souq does not provide transfer of loan facility and businesses are not allowed to seek financing on other crowdfunding platforms during the commitment period.

Funding Souq will have no financial interest in any of the prospects and it will not advertise businesses outside its platform. The use of credit cards is not allowed for Retail investors and all investors should generally be aware that the use of borrowed capital poses an even greater risk. The risk and credit assessment provided by Funding Souq is only a guideline and you will need to evaluate the creditworthiness of the underlying business. As compared to Retail clients, Professional Clients (categorised as such, under the DFSA Rules) will qualify for preferential pro-rata investing allocation through auto investing facility. For additional information on risks and credit assessment, please click here.
