About Me

I grew up in Bekasi with my mom and brother, all three of us live by struggling together because without the presence of my father. After graduate school, I worked as a guard computer rental (cafe) and then into the accounting admin in Sunter, North Jakarta and obtain sufficient funding to continue Diploma for 3 years. In between the 3 years I filled it with being Freelancer with Image Editor position at one of the E-Commerce services companies in South Jakarta. Although the salary is not great, the most important meal needs and my education are met first.

My Business

After finishing my education at the end of March 2017, I wanted to have my own business like snack, then my co-worker offered to work together in his business in the field of smartphone accessories. At first he gave me just to sell my goods by using his services to make it easier to sell because he had already built the business for about 3 years.

I was interested because according to the calculation of my friend's sales per July 2017, I can earn about 60 percent of the existing capital, of course with the system for the results. Moreover, smartphone accessories in recent years have never gone down, tend to rise demand. From there I tried first in order to get experience in building a business, in the future I want to open my own business by way of online.

Loan Proposal

I need about $ 7.3 for wrapping things like cardboard, masking tape, and paper. $ 7.3 for marketing (promotions) to keep my products visible and widely visited and purchased, and $ 51.5 for stock purchases. The expected profit from stock this time is 50-55 percent and sold out within 30-40 days

About Me

Saya tumbuh di Bekasi dengan Ibu dan kakak saya, kita bertiga hidup dengan berjuang bersama sama karena tanpa kehadiran Ayah. Setelah lulus sekolah, saya bekerja sebagai penjaga rental computer (warnet) dan kemudian menjadi admin akuntansi di Sunter, Jakarta Utara dan mendapatkan dana yang cukup untuk melanjutkan pendidikan Diploma 3 selama 3 tahun. Di sela waktu 3 tahun tersebut saya mengisinya dengan menjadi Freelancer dengan posisi Image Editor di salah satu perusahaan jasa E-Commerce di Jakarta Selatan. Walaupun dengan gaji yang tidak besar, yang terpenting kebutuhan makan dan pendidikan saya terpenuhi terlebih dulu.

My Business

Setelah menyelesaikan pendidikan pada akhir Maret 2017, saya ingin mempunyai usaha sendiri seperti makanan ringan, kemudian teman kerja saya menawarkan untuk bekerja sama di usahanya dia dalam bidang aksesoris smartphone. Pada awalnya dia memberikan dengan cuma cuma untuk menjual barang saya dengan memakai jasa dia agar lebih mudah terjual karena dia sudah lebih dulu membangun usaha tersebut sekitar 3 tahun lamanya.

Saya pun tertarik karena menurut perhitungan dari penjualan teman saya tersebut per juli 2017, saya bisa mendapat laba sekitar 60 persen dari modal yang ada, tentunya dengan sistem bagi hasil. Apalagi aksesoris smartphone pada tahun belakangan ini tidak pernah turun, cenderung naik permintaannya. Dari situ saya mencoba dahulu agar bisa mendapat pengalaman dalam membangun usaha, kedepannya saya ingin membuka usaha sendiri dengan cara online.

Loan Proposal

Saya memerlukan sekitar $ 7.3 untuk keperluan membungkus seperti kardus, selotip, dan kertas. $ 7.3 untuk keperluan marketing (promosi) agar produk saya sering terlihat dan banyak dikunjungi dan harapannya dibeli, dan sisanya $ 51.5 untuk pembelian stok. Keuntungan yang diharapkan dari stok kali ini adalah 50-55 persen dan terjual habis dalam waktu 30-40 hari

    Hi Sofi,
    thanks for your prompt repayments. It helps ease the discomfort caused by projects where borrowers miss payments and dont communicate either!

      Hi Joshi, thank you very much for you help. Please don't worry, based on our calculation, I'm still safe for payment until the end of March. But I'm very sorry if my communication is a bit rarely.

        Sofi, I am not complaining about your payments at all!! I actually meant to compliment you since you are someone who pays promptly.

        I have given loans to other borrowers and sometimes they dont communicate even after missed payments. I was commenting about that.

        So once again, your payments/communication is going good - do not worry :-)

          Yes, Joshi. I know what you mean, My comment is just for your info. Thank you again for your compliment, Joshi. :D

    Hi, thank you very much for all of you that give me your trust again. Still same as my proposal that I will spend this on new stock (case & tempered glass) & promotion needs. It will raise my stock about 40%. If our plan is work, surely my repayment schedule will on the track.

    I will give an update when the stock is arrive. Thank you!

    Hello, thank you very much to the funders in my previous loan which has satisfactory results above the 55% target so that it can pay off on time. In the next loan I want to add to the stock variations that are now being used, if the stock of goods goes in time, Reached 60% profit.
