Question 1

What type of funding does Qadr Financial offer?

Accepted Answer

Qadr Financial offers Sharia-compliant business-friendly working capital to growing brands, retailers and merchants. Offers range from £10K to £1M depending on business.

We charge a fixed fee on our capital starting as low as 0.8% per month, our average fee is 1% per month.

We don’t take personal guarantees, warrants, or hidden fees. The amount accessible is based purely on your actual business performance.

Question 2

How is Qadr Financial different from other funding options?

Accepted Answer

Unlike other Sharia-compliant funding options and venture capital, Qadr Financial offers founders and business owners the opportunity to raise crucial growth capital without giving up control of their business.

Equity can be one of the most expensive ways of raising working capital, as Muslims most founders believe this is the only way to grow, that simply is not true.

We also understand that many Muslims end up subjecting their businesses to conventional financing and paying interest on traditional debt.

Qadr Financial offers a fair and flexible alternative that doesn’t currently exist in the European market, with our private capital and the capital of trusted partners we deploy after understanding your business.

Question 3

Is Qadr Financial a substitute for Venture Capital?

Accepted Answer

Qadr Financial works alongside or instead of venture capital and we have spent years designing our capital solutions business which is specifically designed for Muslim SMEs to address the fact that, for many small businesses, venture capital is simply not the best way to raise finance.

Qadr Financial offers fair and flexible funding that can be used to finance a growing business without the founders having to give up equity or take on the burden of traditional debt.

Question 4

What is the cost of capital for a business?

Accepted Answer

We charge a fixed fee on our capital from 0.8% to 1.25% per month. The average monthly fee is 1%. An agreement has a minimum of 2 months, so the lowest base-fee we will charge is 2%.

Example: For an 6 month term, the base-fee will be 6%. There is no interest rate, you’ll know the exact total amount you are paying before you accept the offer of capital.
