FAQs
What documentation is required for asset-backed financing in Saudi Arabia?
The documentation required for asset-backed financing in Saudi Arabia includes the borrower’s financial information, such as recent bank statements, proof of company ownership and corporate governance documents. The borrower will also need to provide title deeds (for real estate), invoices or ownership documents for moveable assets, valuation reports, agreements or contracts clearly setting out terms, and a credit record. Our asset finance law firm can take you through the requirements and offer advice.
How do Saudi asset finance laws differ from international standards?
Saudi asset finance laws differ from international standards due to an emphasis on Sharia laws and conventional secured finance structures. This dual requirement is less typical in many jurisdictions that are purely secular. Recent reforms, however, have aligned more closely with international standards. These include the use of the Unified Registry of Rights over Movable Assets (Unified Registry) and the Real Estate Mortgage Register, to record and improve security interests. The complexity and specificity of financing transactions in Saudi is precisely why individuals and companies need the guidance of asset finance law firms.
What types of collateral are typically accepted for secured finance deals?
The types of collateral typically accepted for secured finance deals are real estate, movable assets (e.g., vehicles, equipment, inventory, etc.), future receivables under contracts, and in some deals, intangible assets (e.g., intellectual property, rights under contracts, etc.)
What are the legal steps to register security interests under KSA law?
The legal steps to register security interests under KSA law are creating a security agreement, then lodge a copy of the agreement with the Unified Registry, for movable assets, or Real Estate Mortgage Register, for real estate. You must also ensure that the financier or lender is a licensed entity.
What legal mechanisms ensure Sharia compliance in asset-backed securities?
The legal mechanisms that ensure Sharia compliance in asset-backed securities are Sharia boards for the initial and ongoing approval, Sharia audits to ensure operations continue in compliance after issuance, regulatory compliance, and disclosure and prospectus requirements (including Sukuk). Our asset finance law firm can walk you through the mechanisms in place to ensure Sharia compliance for asset-backed securities (e.g. Sukuk) and Sharia-friendly asset financing.
