About Comfi
Comfi is a Dubai-based embedded finance company that provides working capital to business-to-business small and medium-sized enterprises. Its buy now, pay later product lets a supplier be paid within 24 hours while its buyer defers payment for up to 90 days, and it also offers invoice discounting, installments and dealer financing. Its website gives the legal entity as Comfi L.L.C-FZ.
Comfi was founded in 2023. Sanjar Samiev is co-founder and chief executive, and Alisher Akbarov, Amal Abdullaev and Denis Gavrilin are named as co-founders in the April 2026 funding announcement. Forbes Middle East, which named Akbarov and Abdullaev to its 2024 30 Under 30 list, also listed Alexander Mushta as a co-founder.
Its website states that it has financed more than 20,000 invoices, processed over AED 1.1 billion in transactions and supported more than 1,000 businesses, and it names customers including PF Concept, Teknodome, Turni, Bevarabia, Essentially and Park Lane Motors.
In June 2024 The Paypers reported a USD 5 million debt facility from an undisclosed Abu Dhabi private family office, intended to support USD 40 million of B2B transactions in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. In January 2025 Forbes Middle East reported about 80 active suppliers, 400 SME buyers and annualised revenue of USD 1 million, and a USD 350,000 raise from Sanabil Investments and 500 Global.
On 27 April 2026 Comfi announced a USD 65 million pre-Series A round of equity and debt, without disclosing the split. Iliad Partners led the equity, joined by Yango Ventures and Raw Ventures. Partners for Growth provided a credit facility and Shorooq Partners a mezzanine facility, and an unnamed family office took part. The company said it had processed more than 15,000 invoices and serves more than 1,000 clients. Enterprise AM reported that Comfi processed about USD 75 million in transactions over the previous 12 months, that the round provides 18 months of runway, and that it plans to expand into Saudi Arabia.
