Home Based Tailoring (Spunbond Bags)
Vision
More Machines, More Orders, A Steadier Home
Mega Novi Puspitasari is a small business owner running a home-based tailoring business in Probolinggo, East Java. She lives with her family of three and makes spunbond bags for her customers. Over the past one to three years, she has built up a regular customer base and has already invested Rp 5,000,000 of her own money in the business.
Mega's goal is to grow her tailoring work into a stronger, more reliable source of income for her household. With additional sewing machines, she can produce more bags, fulfil more orders, and give her family greater financial stability.
The Challenge
Held Back by Limited Production Capacity
Limited Capacity: Mega's home-based business makes spunbond bags with the equipment she has, which caps how much she can produce and how many orders she can take on.
Uneven Income: Her monthly revenue has ranged from Rp 1,000,000 to Rp 2,000,000 over the past three months, making her earnings difficult to predict.
Growth Constraints: Mega has already invested Rp 5,000,000 of her own money in the business. Without upfront capital for more sewing machines, she cannot increase production or fulfil more orders.
The Impact
Growing Capacity, Building Stability
With upfront capital of Rp 5,000,000, Mega can buy additional sewing machines to increase her production, take on more orders, and grow her business revenue.
This growth extends beyond the business: a steadier income gives her household more financial security. Mega has committed to repaying the financing in monthly installments of Rp 450,000.
The loan turns a small business with big potential into long-term stability for her family. As it is repaid, the funds will be recycled to support other entrepreneurs.
