About

A Saudi owner of established businesses.

Seen Holding is a private investment company headquartered in Jeddah. It acquires established, profitable Saudi businesses and holds them for the long term.

The firm

Few companies, held closely

Seen owns a small number of businesses at a time, typically three to five, so that each one receives real attention. The aim is to strengthen the earnings, management and systems of the companies it owns.

Structure

Not a fund

Seen invests as principal, one transaction at a time. There is no fund life and no requirement to sell on a schedule, so a business can be held for as long as it is performing well.

Recent work

Selected experience

  • Advised the leadership of a national facilities management group, with revenue in the billions of riyals, on a board-level repositioning supported by a three-scenario financial model.
  • Financial modeling, feasibility and due diligence for an industrial processing plant of more than USD 50 million.
  • Originated and structured acquisition proposals in healthcare diagnostics and professional services.

Client and company names are withheld in confidence.

Organization

Research
