Contractors Direct, a leading platform that assists in the connection of businesses with pre-qualified commercial interior and fit-out professionals, has recently made an announcement of a strategic partnership with Beehive. The collaboration with the MENA region’s leading peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platform has introduced a unique fit-out financing solution that is designed to help companies in funding their office fit-out in Dubai, along with a wider market across the UAE. This removes the barrier of significant upfront capital expenditure.

The launch of the “Fit-Out Finance” offering directly addresses the financial challenges that are required to be faced by businesses face when upgrading or moving into new corporate environments. Instead of depleting cash reserves, the UAE-based companies can now spread the cost of their commercial fit-out over a manageable period of up to two years. Because of this, there has been a fundamental transformation in how they have been approaching workplace design and expansion.

“Here, at Contractors Direct, we believe that a high-quality commercial fit-out is an investment in productivity, efficiency, and long-term business growth should not be a strain on immediate cash flow”, as mentioned by a spokesperson at Contractors Direct. “By partnering with Beehive, we are providing a simple, fast, and accessible avenue for businesses to realize their ideal office fit-out in the UAE without a compromise in their financial stability.”

The financing solution is exclusive to clients utilizing contractors sourced through Contractors Direct and also offers up to AED 1 million in funding. The primary benefits of this collaboration for you will be a repayment period of 12 to 24 months, competitive rates starting at 8.25% and no early repayment fees. As a result, undertaking complex commercial fit-out projects, such as a full turnkey design and build in key districts across Dubai, is financially viable for a broader range of enterprises.

Regulated by the DFSA, Beehive is known for making transparent and accessible financial solutions for businesses. “We have a mission to make the growth of businesses easier, and partnering with Contractors Direct allows us to give direct support to the development of modern corporate environments across the UAE.
