Qibla Capital is the first truly halal private equity
holding company in the United States.
Think Berkshire Hathaway...but Halal.
We Buy Businesses
in a 100% halal-compliant way and hold them permanently. We improve them through hands-on ownership and operational focus, and reinvest the profits. Our investors become owners of real companies that serve real customers, employ real people, and create real value.
Our ultimate vision is to democratize access to halal private equity by building a diversified portfolio that can eventually go public through an IPO.
Our growth strategy includes building multiple platforms under QC, with investors benefiting from automatic ownership in all future ventures. Investment occurs at the holding company level, which provides shareholding stake in the full portfolio, diversifies industry exposure, and reduces concentration risk.
Building a self-funding flywheel
Compounding is the core principle underpinning Qibla Capital's long-term investment philosophy
Acquire
We target businesses with $500K - $3M in unlevered annual cash flows at attractive valuations.
Optimize
Once acquired, we focus on optimization, driving 10–15% annual growth in cash flow through operational improvements, systematization, and strategic expansion.
Reinvest
All profits are reinvested to fuel further acquisitions that compound value over time and build a diversified portfolio of strong businesses.

Now is the best time to get into the
business of buying small businesses
OWNED BY BABY BOOMERS
Baby Boomers own nearly 40% of U.S. small businesses, representing over $10 trillion in value. As they retire, many of those business will be for sale.
BUSINESS VALUE
SMALL BUSINESSES
These businesses sell for 3-5x EBITDA. By acquiring and professionalizing these companies, we can unlock significant value and scale them to 8-10x EBITDA valuations.
Truly halal
investment options
are very limited
Most investment options today, whether in the public stock market or in the private markets, are built on interest-based debt.
Many "halal" investment platforms, including funds like Amana and Wahed as well as individual stock screening, rely on AAOIFI or similar standards that permit up to 33% interest-based debt and 5% non-permissible revenue.
Our conviction is interest (riba) is intrinsically haram, and no percentage threshold can make it permissible. This is similar to eating pork; it is haram no matter how little you consume.
Financial compliance alone does not guarantee a business is truly halal, as a company's activities and ethical conduct matter just as much as its balance sheet.
Example
Caterpillar ($CAT) stock
as of February 2026
According to AAOIFI and most other screenings (FTSE, S&P, MSCI, etc.), Caterpillar stock is "halal compliant" because the total debt and haram revenue ratios fall below the arbitrary 30% and 5% haram thresholds, respectively.
Additionally, AAOIFI does not screen out Caterpillar, even though its products are weaponized for the Israeli military, being used in home demolitions, illegal settlement construction, and military assaults against Palestinian citizens.
If tens of billions in riba and material complicity in oppression are acceptable as long as ratios pass, "halal compliance" becomes just a label.
