Amar Alamar: Why Private Equity Sourcing Demands Commercial Instinct

Private equity sourcing is often reduced to financial modelling and valuation metrics, but Amar Alamar argues that the most important element is commercial instinct. This is the ability to evaluate an opportunity not just by its numbers but by its operational reality, market positioning, and the quality of its management.

His approach to private equity sourcing integrates financial analysis with commercial due diligence, stakeholder assessment, and market context. In his view, this kind of holistic evaluation is what separates businesses with genuine long-term potential from those that look attractive on paper but lack real commercial foundations.
