Designed for Business Owners in Saudi Arabia
We're proud to be the first platform of its kind in the Kingdom, introducing the concept of "buy now, pay later." Launched in 2022, Aajil set out to fundamentally change the way businesses access construction materials across all their needs, quickly and with flexibility. Aajil was founded by a team of experts in banking, technology, and construction to enable sustainable business growth in the private sector and contribute to achieving Saudi Vision 2030.

The start of speed
We launched with one clear vision: to make it easier for contractors across Saudi Arabia to purchase materials without friction. From that conviction, Buildnow was born as a practical answer to one of the biggest challenges businesses face. From day one, simplicity, speed, and supplier trust have been at the core of everything we do.

The Future:  Rewriting the Rules of Commerce
We're building a future where growth doesn't stop at liquidity limits, and complexities don't restrict ambition. A future where deals are closed with a click, trust is built on transparency, and businesses expand without limits. From the small contractor to the massive project, Aajil will be the gateway that connects every contractor to every opportunity, and every supplier to every possibility.
 
Our vision is clear: a Saudi market unlimited by resources and unstoppable by complexities. Where speed is the standard, trust is the foundation, and growth is the right of every ambition. We're not just building a platform, we're building the future that Saudi industrial sector deserves.
