ADGM’s Numou launches ‘Procurement Financing’ initiative to enhance SME

funding access

Numou, a subsidiary of ADGM, the international financial centre of Abu Dhabi, has launched Procurement Financing, a flagship
initiative that enables SMEs with government or corporate contracts to seamlessly access funding.

The new solution links guaranteed contract demand with accessible financing, bridging government procurement
opportunities with lender support via Numou’s digital platform.

Procurement Financing will allow SMEs to secure funding while enabling lenders to assess businesses against confirmed

contract opportunities. It will also address the funding gap SMEs face when executing government contracts and create a
bridge between government procurement opportunities and financial institutions.

Numou’s digital lending marketplace features a wide ecosystem of partners, including fintech lenders such as CredibleX, Erad,

Klubwork, Ahbi, Zelo and FlapKap, as well as government programmes such as the Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development’s
Abu Dhabi SME Champions Programme.

Mohamed Al Binali, General Manager of Numou, stated, “The Procurement Financing initiative aims to ensure that small
businesses with government or corporate contracts no longer run into cash flow issues, empowering them to deliver
immediately. Looking ahead, our vision is to build the UAE’s first SME Data Warehouse, providing lenders with real-time
insights and creating a stronger foundation for long-term SME growth and economic diversification.”
