About

Marqab is a Saudi advisory firm based in Riyadh, specialising in the risk of investing in, and entering, foreign markets.

Why “Marqab”?

In Arabic, a marqab is the high ground from which you can see what cannot be seen from below. Before a caravan set out, the lookout would climb it, then return with what he saw: where the safe road was, and where the danger lay.

That is what we do for every investor heading into a new market: we climb first, we look, and then we map the way for you.

Our mission

That every investor enters a new market seeing its risks clearly, with someone watching alongside them after they arrive.

What we hold to

  • Independence

    We sell no product and take no commission from any party to a deal, so our view is yours alone.

  • Confidentiality

    We never publish client names, and mention their projects only with their permission.

  • Evidence before opinion

    We separate what we have verified from what we estimate, and tell you how confident we are in each finding.

  • Local sources

    We read every market in its own language and from its own sources, not from global reports alone.

The team

Analysts, security specialists and field researchers with backgrounds in the markets we cover. We will introduce them here soon.
