About Me

Hi,, My name is Hendri, I live in the town of Solo. I have an economics degree from Soegijapranata Catholic University. All my live, I have been working for other people. Hence, I am thinking of starting my own business. I love travelling, and I have visited almost all parts of the Java island. For this reason, I am planning to be a tour guide. However, I will still need to continue my parents business, running a watch store, while I am starting this business.

My Business

As of now, I have started offering my service as a tour guide via online since 2 years ago. Even though my scope is only in Java island and Bali. I have seen many of my customers come back and use my service, since my service is excellent and affordable. I usually leave the customers to arrange their own schedule, so that they will have the flexibility.
In a month, I can arrange 2 - 3 trips, consist of around 10 people, to travel around Java island and Bali. I can generate a good profit, since I already know the cheap and high quality hotels, also the good tourism spots, which not a lot of people know.

In the future, I want to expand my service to Sulawesi island. To do this, I would need an extra capital to hire a staff to help me with the trip arrangement. All along, I have been working alone and arrange everything by my elf.

For now, I can only generate $150 - $200 per month by working alone. Since I would need to reject some request that I could not handle by myself. If I can hire one or two staffs, I can take in more orders from the customers.

Loan Proposal

The loan proceeds will be used to hire 1 new staff to help me to handle the customer requests, while I am on a trip, so that there is no wait and book for the customers. The staff can get the details and pre-arrange the planned trip of the customers.

About Me

Hi,, nama saya hendri, saya sekarang tinggal di kota solo. Pendidikan terakhir saya Sarjana Ekonomi dari Universitas Katolik Soegijapranata, Seumur hidup saya, selalu bekerja kepada orang lain, dan saya berpikir, mungkin sekarang sudah waktu nya saya bekerja sendiri, karena saya suka travelling, dan memang sementara hampir seluruh pulau jawa sudah saya kelilingi, mengapa saya tidak mencoba untuk menjadi seorang guide/tour travel. Tapi sambil saya memulai bisnis tersebut, saya masih meneruskan usaha dari orang tua saya, yaitu toko jam tangan.

My Business

Sekarang ini, saya sudah memulai bisnis tour travel, dan menawarkan jasa tersebut via online, usaha ini sudah saya geluti sejak 2 tahun yang lalu. Tapi masih di sekitaran Pulau Jawa dan Bali.
Lambat laun, beberapa yg pernah memakai jasa saya, sering ingin memakai jasa saya lagi, karena saya memberikan full service dengan biaya, yang cukup terjangkau, suasana kekeluargaan, dan waktu yang flexible, tanpa harus saya yang meng schedule waktu.

Dalam 1 bulan, minimal saya bisa mendapatkan 2/3 kali Trip mengelilingi pulau Jawa dan Bali dengan peserta lebih dari 10 orang setiap Trip.
Laba yang saya dapatkan lumayan, karena saya sudah hampir tau semua hotel yang murah tapi berkualitas ataupun wisata alam baru, yang belum banyak orang tahu.

Kedepan nya, saya ingin mencoba merambah ke pulau sulawesi, dan tentu saya perlu dukungan dana agar saya bisa menggaji orang yang bisa mengatur segala keperluan pelanggan saya. Karena selama ini saya bekerja sendiri.

Bisnis travelling menurut saya mempunyai resiko yg tidak terlalu besar, karena saya menjual jasa, resiko terjadi apabila customer saya mengalami gangguan kesehatan selama perjalanan, dan mungkin selama ini hanya sebatas itu.

Laba bersih selama ini yang sapa peroleh masih di sekita 3-4 jt/perbulan tapi itu dengan saya bekerja sendiri, dan terbentur waktu apabila, ada request yang mau tidak mau saya tidak terima, karena saya sedang menghandle customer saya. Oleh dari itu, mungkin saat nya saya perlu dana agar saya bisa menggaji 1/2 orang karyawan yang bisa membantu saya dalam bisnis ini.

Loan Proposal

Uang yang saya terima sementara mungkin akan saya gunakan untuk menggaji 1 orang karyawan untuk menghandle customer saya, apabila saya sedang memandu customer lain. Sehingga tidak perlu ada wait and book bagi para customer saya. Nanti nya mereka bisa langsung bikin perjanjian dengan calon karyawan saya sekaligus detail perjalanan yang akan di rencanakan.

    Hi ... on the moon this month, businesses increasingly lonely, it may be in because many people are more concerned with primary needs, compared to the secondary needs, which, traveling is one of the secondary needs, especially with his depressed exchange rate of US dollar against a basket Rupiah, thus causing a lot of rising prices of basic necessities and firing some employees of the company. ____Untuk While I would like to propose a decrease in repayment of the loan, and if the condition has begun to normal again, then will I Raise my loan payments. ____Thank you for your understanding.

    Hi, hari ini saya telah menerima pinjaman dana dari anda semua.
    Sebelum nya ijinkan saya ucapkan banyak terima kasih kepada kalian, yang telah mempercayakan sebagian uang anda untuk di pinjamkan kepada saya.

    Uang ini akan saya pergunakan sebaik-baik nya, untuk memperkerjakan 1 orang staff agar dapat membantu saya dan lebih meningkatkan bisnis travelling saya.

    Dan saat ini saya sedang belajar untuk mencoba memandu dengan target anak muda, dengan tujuan pegunungan di pulau Jawa. Setelah sebelum nya target saya adalah sebagian orang tua dan muda.

    Dan akan saya mulai dengan pendakian Gunung Lawu , yang terletak di Kabupaten Karang Anyar pada tanggal 1 Mei 2015 dengan peserta 12 orang, so.. wish me luck and thank you for your support.

    I will update the progress of my business travel

    Salam,
    Hendri
