About

An independent corporate finance and valuation firm in Qatar

Reeve Hayward advises companies, their owners and their boards on what a business is worth, how to finance it, and when and how to buy or sell it.

Our clients range from family businesses to large corporate groups, mainly in Qatar and the wider Gulf, with work in South Asia, Africa and Europe.

We do not lend, underwrite or trade securities, so no recommendation of ours is tied to a loan or a product of our own.

Nahal Arshad, Founder & Managing Partner of Reeve Hayward

A message from our founder

I founded the firm to put the rigour, quality and expertise of the world’s leading corporate finance firms within reach of every company.

Every business reaches a few decisions that shape its future: selling the business or a controlling stake, buying a competitor, raising capital, restructuring debt or entering a new market. From family businesses to large corporate groups, companies facing these decisions want senior judgement and analysis they can rely on, and they should not have to pay for a global firm’s overheads to get it.

A senior member of the team leads every engagement, and our team brings more than 50 years of combined experience across more than 30 industries. We do not lend, underwrite or trade securities, so our only interest is the right answer for the client.

Our office is in QFC Tower 1 in West Bay, and most of our clients are in Qatar and the Gulf. If you are weighing a decision that matters to your business, I would be glad to hear about it.

How we work

Our clients are companies and the people who own, run and fund them. Five principles shape every engagement.

  1. Independent

    With no lending or trading business, we are free to tell a client when the better course is to wait, or not to proceed.

  2. Senior-led

    A senior member of the team leads every engagement from the first meeting to the last, and works on it throughout.

  3. Discreet

    We do not name clients or discuss their affairs without their consent.

  4. Exact

    Every figure we give can be traced to its source, and every model is checked line by line before a client sees it.

  5. Long term

    We judge our work by whether a client comes back for the next decision.
