Financial Modelling KSA

Every major financial decision a Saudi business makes -- raising debt from a Saudi bank, attracting equity investment, entering a new market, acquiring a competitor, or preparing for an IPO -- requires a rigorous, credible financial model. Investors and banks in Saudi Arabia have seen thousands of projections; they quickly distinguish between aspirational spreadsheets and professionally built financial models with coherent assumptions and robust sensitivity analysis.

Intelli Solutions builds investor-grade financial models and projections for Saudi businesses -- from three-year P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow forecasts for bank financing, to fully integrated dynamic models for private equity fundraising, Tadawul IPO processes, and Vision 2030 project bids.

Types of Financial Models We Build

3-Year Business Forecast

Integrated P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow projection with key operating drivers -- the standard financial projection required by Saudi banks, MISA, and most investors.

Investor Information Memorandum

Financial model and supporting narrative for private equity, venture capital, or strategic investor fundraising -- including valuation analysis and return scenarios.

Bank Financing Model

Facility-specific financial models with covenant calculations (DSCR, leverage ratio, interest cover) -- prepared to the standard expected by Saudi commercial and Islamic banks.

Scenario & Sensitivity Analysis

Base, upside, and downside scenarios with sensitivity tables showing how key assumptions (growth rate, margin, FX, oil price) drive financial outcomes -- essential for risk-aware decision-making.

M&A Financial Models

Acquisition valuation models -- DCF, comparable transactions, LBO -- with synergy analysis, purchase price allocation, and deal structure modelling for M&A advisory mandates.

Project Finance Models

Cash flow waterfall models for real estate developments, infrastructure projects, and Vision 2030 project bids -- including IRR, NPV, and equity return analysis.

What Makes a Credible Saudi Financial Model

Experienced Saudi bankers and investors evaluate financial models on several dimensions beyond the headline numbers:

  • Assumption transparency: All key assumptions should be visible, documented, and defensible -- revenue growth rates, margin assumptions, working capital cycle, capex requirements
  • ZATCA cost integration: Models that ignore Zakat, WHT, or VAT cash flow impact are immediately flagged by Saudi lenders -- we build full tax compliance into every projection
  • Saudization cost modelling: Labour cost projections must reflect Nitaqat compliance -- incremental Saudi hire costs, GOSI differential, and EOSB accrual build-up
  • SAR and USD sensitivity: For businesses with USD-denominated revenue or costs (common in oil & gas, trade, and tourism), FX sensitivity is a key model component
  • Vision 2030 revenue validation: Models projecting revenue from giga-projects or government programmes must include realistic ramp-up timelines and contract risk adjustments

Frequently Asked Questions

A standard 3-year business forecast (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) takes 5–10 business days from receiving your key assumptions and historical financial data. Complex models for IPO, private equity fundraising, or large infrastructure projects take 3–6 weeks. We build all models in Excel with fully transparent formulas -- no black boxes.
Yes. Many clients come to us with limited financial modelling experience and need help developing realistic, market-tested assumptions before the model is built. We conduct assumption workshops -- reviewing industry benchmarks, comparable business metrics, and Saudi market data -- to develop a defensible assumption set. This is often the most valuable part of the engagement.
Yes. Saudi commercial banks routinely accept financial projections prepared by professional advisory firms. In fact, bank-commissioned models prepared by SOCPA-registered firms or recognised financial advisors often carry more weight than management-prepared projections. Our firm's name and SOCPA registration number are referenced in the model documentation, providing credibility with bank credit committees.
