With IDR 5,000 Capital, People Can Start A Business

JAKARTA- MAPAN, a community-based technology company, is committed to helping Indonesians, starting with women, become more economically empowered. This commitment is carried out by inviting the public to appear as MAPAN Business Partners who are given direct access to start a business with very little capital, starting from IDR 5,000.

This access was born from the use of technology aimed at encouraging people to start businesses in order to help family finances and to be more economically empowered. With capital starting from IDR 5,000, MAPAN Business Partners have the opportunity to earn up to IDR 5 million per month.

It was obtained through the use of various new services launched, such as online transportation service vouchers, vouchers to fulfill daily needs, electricity tokens and pulses, in addition to arisan goods that have been MAPAN services since 2015.

The CEO of MAPAN, Hendra Tjanaka revealed, from the trend that was taking place in the community, it was seen that there was a great desire from them to start a business, but they were still constrained by capital. In addition, especially for women, they are also worried that it is difficult to divide their time between the businesses they have started and taking care of their families.

"With very little capital, we encourage people to start a business by taking advantage of three new MAPAN services, namely MAPAN Bills and Credit, MAPAN Mart, and MAPAN Vouchers, which sell various economical services for Gojek, GoPay-Alfamart vouchers, and other economical vouchers. These three new services are believed to be able to help Indonesians to be more economical in meeting their daily needs, ”Hendra explained in a statement received by VOI, Monday, January 13.

Hendra further explained, in addition to low capital and services with a high enough demand, Business Partners can also take advantage of the community network that they previously owned through the MAPAN Arisan service.

Based on MAPAN's internal data, out of 270 thousand Business Partners spread across Java and Bali, each partner has a variety of members ranging from 10 to 470 people. With more than 3 million members, MAPAN is now focused on expanding the network of MAPAN Business Partners and increasing the number of new services.

This benefit has been directly felt by one of MAPAN's Business Partners from Bogor, Olga Wina who now has additional income that reaches tens of millions in a year. Wina earns additional income to help with family finances by becoming an MAPAN Business Partner by utilizing its community network.

This was done by Wina while still being able to manage her time with her family flexibly. “I only get that income by using my cellphone to actively study with the community. Since I became a Business Partner in 2017, now where I live there are many neighbors who I subscribe to. I can do all of this without disturbing my time taking care of my children, ”said Wina.

Now with the increase in MAPAN services, there are more products that can be offered by business partners such as Ms. Wina, even to a wider target market. "There are more sales opportunities to increase income, now my customers are not only mothers, but students and office workers as well. Customers have increased a lot, my income too, ”said Wina.
