Amar Alamar at a glance

Amar Alamar founded Blended Ventures in 2023. The business is a finance brokering consultancy rather than a lender. Its role is to understand a client's position, prepare the transaction properly, and place it with the funding source best suited to it.

Amar Alamar works from South East Queensland and acts for clients Australia wide. His core areas are:

Development and construction finance, from site acquisition through to completion.

Land, subdivision and residual stock finance for developers holding sites or completed product.

Private and bridging finance where timing, structure or complexity sits outside standard bank processes.

Commercial property and business finance for owners, investors and operating businesses.

Equity sourcing and corporate advisory where a transaction needs more than debt.

Blended Ventures focuses on business, commercial and investment purpose finance. All rates and terms discussed with clients are indicative and subject to lender approval, credit assessment and security valuation.

The work of Blended Ventures

Australian property and business finance is no longer a single market. Banks, non-bank lenders, private credit funds and private capital partners each have different appetites, different credit processes and different views on the same asset. A transaction that one funder declines may be entirely acceptable to another, provided it is presented clearly and structured to suit that funder's requirements.

Blended Ventures sits between borrowers and that range of funders. Amar Alamar connects clients with private credit funds, non-bank lenders, banks and capital partners, and manages the process from the first conversation through to settlement. Clients have one point of contact throughout.

For developers, that typically means working through feasibility, staging, the funding stack and exit before a lender sees the file. For investors and business owners, it means understanding the asset, the cash flow, the timing pressure and the exit, and matching those to a lender whose credit settings fit. The article How Private and Development Finance Works for Gold Coast and Queensland Projects sets out that process in more detail.

How Amar Alamar approaches an engagement

Amar Alamar's starting point is the whole picture: the asset, the business, the timing and the exit. Finance that looks attractive on rate alone can fail a client if the term is too short for the project program, if the covenants do not suit the cash flow, or if the exit depends on assumptions that are unlikely to hold.

In practice, that approach rests on four disciplines.

The first is preparation. Lenders make decisions on the information in front of them. A clear summary of the security, the borrower, the purpose and the exit shortens the credit process and reduces the risk of late surprises.

The second is fit. Rather than pushing every transaction through one channel, the aim is to identify the funders whose current appetite matches the asset class, location, leverage and term required. Appetite changes with market conditions, which is why Amar Alamar follows credit markets closely and writes about them on this site.

The third is a credible exit. Private and development finance is usually shorter term. Every facility needs a realistic path to repayment, whether through sale, refinance or a defined cash event, and that path should be tested before the loan is drawn, not after.

The fourth is continuity. Complex transactions rarely move in a straight line. Having one senior point of contact through valuation, credit, documentation and settlement keeps the transaction moving and keeps the client informed. The piece Brokering Complex Deals discusses how alignment between parties is built and maintained.

Working with Amar Alamar

Amar Alamar works with property investors, developers and business owners who need finance that fits the opportunity. Typical starting points include a development that needs construction funding, a commercial acquisition with a tight settlement, a bridging requirement while an asset is sold or refinanced, or a business that needs capital secured against property.

The most useful first enquiry is short and specific: the amount sought, the location of the property or business, the purpose of the funds, and the stage the project or transaction has reached. From there, the conversation moves to structure, likely funding sources and timing.
