Why lenders fund Small & Medium Factories

Saudi factories benefit from extensive government support: the Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF) offers concessional loans up to SAR 20M for new factories, and Kafalah guarantees part of commercial loans. This lowers cost and significantly raises approval odds.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between SIDF and commercial financing?+

SIDF: concessional loans at very low rates (2–4%), long tenors (up to 20 years), accepted even for new projects. Processing is long (3–6 months) with careful project review. Commercial financing: faster (7–15 days) at higher rates (8–14%) but covers diverse needs.

Can I combine SIDF and commercial financing?+

Yes, and this is the common strategy. Use SIDF for major assets (equipment, facilities) because it's cheaper, and use commercial financing for working capital and inventory because it's faster and more flexible.

How does Kafalah help factories?+

Kafalah guarantees up to 80% of your commercial loan, making lenders more willing to approve even factories lacking sufficient collateral. Maximum guaranteed amount: SAR 10M. Most commercial banks, Lendo, and Raqamyah accept Kafalah guarantees.
