Bridging the gap in Sharia-compliant SME finance

The UK construction sector relies heavily on access to materials at the right time. Many SMEs, particularly within Muslim communities, struggle to find financing that aligns with their ethical and religious principles.

Nani Fintech Plus was created to address this gap. We coordinate trade transactions that allow SMEs to access construction materials through Murabaha a genuine sale-of-goods structure rooted in Islamic finance principles.

Our role is coordination and due diligence. We do not lend, hold funds, or manage assets. Every transaction is executed through independent professional partners, with clear role separation at every stage.

Real Assets

Every transaction is backed by specific, identifiable construction materials not abstract financial instruments.

Fund Safety

Funds are held by independent solicitors in regulated client accounts. Nani never touches participant funds.

How Murabaha works

Murabaha is one of the most widely used structures in Islamic finance. It is a sale-of-goods contract, not a loan. Here is how it works in the context of construction materials.

1

SME identifies a need

A construction company needs specific materials for a real project,cement, steel, timber, tiles, or other supplies.

2

Materials are purchased

The materials are bought from a supplier at market price. The buyer takes genuine ownership and bears real commercial risk.

3

Onward sale at cost-plus

The materials are sold to the SME at the original cost plus a fixed, disclosed trade margin. This is a sale, not a loan with interest.

4

SME repays in instalments

The SME pays the agreed total price in monthly instalments over an agreed period, typically 6 to 12 months.

Important: This is a general explanation of how Murabaha works as a concept in Islamic finance. It is educational content and does not describe a specific product or opportunity offered by Nani. The structure of any specific transaction would depend on the parties involved and would be subject to independent legal and Sharia review.

Guided by ethical principles

Our approach is grounded in the core principles of Islamic finance, reviewed by an independent Sharia advisor.
  • 1

    Real assets, real transactions

    Every transaction must involve the genuine purchase and sale of specific, identifiable goods. No artificial or paper-only arrangements.

  • 2

    No interest

    The trade margin is a fixed, disclosed profit on a genuine sale of goods. It is not interest calculated by reference to time and principal.

  • 3

    Genuine risk-sharing

    The buyer of materials must take genuine ownership risk, even if briefly. There must be a real moment where commercial risk is borne.

  • 4

    Transparency and disclosure

    All costs, margins, and terms are disclosed upfront. No hidden fees, no ambiguous charges, no surprises.
