Textile-focused investment company
Behind every metre wovenstands a capital decision.
D.Q Design is an independent investment company providing growth capital and operational depth to textile manufacturers. We start with your capacity plan, not with an exit date.
Based in Dubai
How we invest
Capital is the easy part.
In textiles the difference is made at the loom. That is why we are inside the operation from day one.
Long-term partnership
We start with a capacity plan, not an exit date. Our average holding period is over five years.
Operational depth
Our own team works on the floor with yours: production planning, energy efficiency, quality systems.
Alignment, not control
A majority stake is not a requirement. We would rather keep the founding team running the business.
Open governance
Monthly reporting, independent audit and decision rights are written down on day one.
Our thesis
Supply chains are getting shorter. At the end of every link that moves closer sits a manufacturer that needs capital to grow.
Nearshoring, regulation and automation are arriving at once. Building capacity where the three meet takes capital.
Process
From first meeting to partnership, four steps.
Timelines vary with the scope of the deal and how prepared the company is. The ranges below show how a typical process runs.
- 011 week
First meeting
A short deck is enough. In the first meeting we discuss your thesis, your capacity and your numbers.
- 022–3 weeks
Preliminary review
We examine the market, capacity and customer concentration, then decide whether to move to a letter of intent.
- 036–8 weeks
Due diligence
Financial, legal, technical and environmental reviews run in parallel. The site visit happens here.
- 043–4 weeks
Closing and partnership
The structure is set, the papers are signed, and we write the first hundred days together.
