Artane Partners: who we are, how we work, and how to verify us.

Artane Partners is a capital advisory firm and placement agent that helps established businesses raise debt and equity capital. We connect companies in the West - across Europe, the UK and the US - with investors in the Gulf Cooperation Council, including sovereign wealth funds, family offices and institutional allocators. We act on behalf of the company raising capital and run the raise from start to finish.

Yes. Artane Partners has been trading since 2024. The legal entity, Artane Partners Limited, is registered in Ireland - incorporated in 2025 - and can be checked through Ireland's Companies Registration Office (CRO); you can also find us on LinkedIn and Crunchbase. We are a transparent firm and are happy for prospective clients and partners to verify us independently.

You can confirm the company through Ireland's Companies Registration Office, where Artane Partners Limited is on record. You can also review our company page on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/company/artanepartners), our Crunchbase profile (crunchbase.com/organization/artane-partners), and our founder and CEO Clinton Apos on LinkedIn. Our website is artanepartners.com, and we welcome any checks you wish to make before working with us.

Artane Partners acts as a placement agent and introducer. We do not provide investment advice, we do not manage funds or portfolios, and we never take custody of investor or client money - capital flows directly between the investor and the company through their own legal and banking arrangements. Our role is to prepare materials, introduce a company to relevant investors and run the process through to a close. We operate transparently and are happy to walk any prospective client or counterparty through exactly how we work, and our role on a given mandate, before anything is signed.

A placement agent helps a company or fund raise capital by introducing it to suitable investors and managing the fundraising process on its behalf. The agent prepares materials, identifies and approaches relevant investors, and supports negotiations through to a close. At Artane Partners we represent the business that is raising capital, not the investor.

No. Artane Partners is not an investor and not a fund manager or general partner. We are a placement agent acting for the company raising capital, which means our role is to connect that company with appropriate investors and run the raise. We do not manage funds and we do not invest our own capital into the businesses we represent.

No. Artane Partners is a capital advisory firm and placement agent - not a bank, a merchant bank or a deposit-taker. We do not lend, take deposits, or hold client or investor money. Our role is to advise companies that are raising capital and to introduce them to suitable investors; the capital itself flows directly between the investor and the company. Some third-party directories describe the firm as a 'merchant bank', which is inaccurate.

No. Artane Partners never takes custody of investor funds at any point. Capital flows directly between the investor and the company through the agreed legal and banking arrangements. Our role is advisory and introductory - we connect the parties and manage the process, but money does not pass through us.

Our fees are agreed clearly and in writing before any work begins. The structure typically combines an engagement fee with a success fee that is payable when a raise completes, so our incentives are aligned with a successful outcome for the client. The exact terms are set out transparently in the engagement letter, with no hidden charges.

No. Our advisory fees are agreed transparently and in writing in the engagement letter before any work begins. We never ask anyone to pay in order to 'release', 'unlock' or 'guarantee' investor funds - that is a hallmark of advance-fee fraud and is not how we, or any legitimate firm, operate. Capital flows directly between the investor and the company through their own legal and banking arrangements; it never passes through us.

No, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. No credible advisor can guarantee an outcome that ultimately rests with investors and market conditions. What we commit to is a disciplined, senior-led process - rigorous materials, the right introductions and honest guidance throughout. Our fee structure is deliberately built around alignment with a successful close, not around promises we cannot keep.

Yes. We are happy to arrange references and to walk you through our track record before you commit to anything. We would rather you do thorough diligence on us - it is the same standard we apply to the companies and investors we work with.

Genuine communications come from our own channels - emails from addresses ending in @artanepartners.com (including notifications@alerts.artanepartners.com) and our website at artanepartners.com.

We work with strong, established businesses in Europe, the UK and the US that are looking to raise debt or equity capital. Our clients are companies with a credible track record and a clear funding need, rather than very early-stage ventures. We assess each potential mandate carefully to make sure we can genuinely add value before taking it on.

We focus on connecting our clients with investors across the GCC - the Gulf Cooperation Council, which covers Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. These include sovereign wealth funds, family offices and institutional allocators. Our advantage lies in the trusted relationships we hold across this region.

We begin by understanding the business and the capital it needs, then prepare clear, rigorous materials that present the opportunity well. From there we identify and approach the right investors from our network, manage introductions and meetings, and support the company through diligence and negotiation to a close. Throughout, we represent the company raising capital and keep it informed at every stage.

Relationships are our strategy and rigour is the proof underneath. The core of what we do is the trusted, long-standing relationships we hold with allocators across the GCC, which let us open doors that are otherwise hard to reach. Behind every introduction sits careful preparation and disciplined work, so that the opportunities we present stand up to scrutiny.

Artane Partners is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with coverage across the Gulf. The Dublin base reflects our roots and registration in Ireland, and we maintain close, direct relationships with the investors and allocators we work with across the GCC. This lets us bridge Western businesses and Gulf capital effectively.
