Larky Parky
The Business
Larky Parky started operations in 2013 with stock lot business. Over the years, they have maintained a good network of entrepreneurs and they wholesale their products to these showrooms all over Bangladesh.
Larky Parky‘s products mostly consist of denim jeans as well as some other items like shirts, t-shirts and boxers. They have a Whatsapp group where they market these products to their local network of retailers throughout the year.
However, they are also developing a profitable buying house model by which they are catering to foreign orders from mostly India and Malaysia (and recently Dubai, Qatar and Fiji). On receiving the orders, they outsource them to small-hold garment factories in Dhaka for manufacturing and then deliver the items to buyers.
Currently their funding requirement is to fulfil a foreign order from a buyer whom they have already worked with previously.

Potential Risks
Larky Parky is a clothing business trying to establish a buying house model – they take garment orders from buyers, then outsource them to factories. When the products are ready, they deliver them to buyers and also wholesale to retail clothing shops.
- Loss of foreign orders: At the moment, about 50% of Larky Parky’s business comes from foreign orders. Volume of these foreign orders may reduce in case of economic disruptions due to lockdowns etc. However, their established network of local buyers (mostly dealt with in cash) should ensure that they have a running business.
- Impact of worldwide recession: The current situation around the world may result in decrease of RMG export from Bangladesh, and Larky Parky may not be any exception to this risk. Having an alternate revenue stream is critical which they have in the form of their wholesale business to local buyers.
- Inflation: Increase in raw material prices would impact selling prices to local buyers and may result in decrease in volume of sale. For foreign buyers, Larky Parky operates on a fixed profit margin per product and the impact would be transferred to the buyer when they sell the products in the foreign market.
- Loss of foreign orders: At the moment, about 50% of Larky Parky’s business comes from foreign orders. Volume of these foreign orders may reduce in case of economic disruptions due to lockdowns etc. However, their established network of local buyers (mostly dealt with in cash) should ensure that they have a running business.
Overall, the business is seeking around 25% of their monthly turnover as financing. If we consider the 8-month timeline, it is less than 3% of overall turnover. This minimizes the risk that the business will struggle to repay while recovering from an economic shock.
biniyog.io will buy the products on behalf of investors first and secure ownership in the factory premises. The products will then be handed over to Larky Parky within a very short time frame.
Larky Parky would have the right to reject the product due to quality and other order specifications. The risk is expected to be minimal since it would be a factory that they regularly work with for similar orders.
This is a necessary risk to ensure Shariah compliance of the transaction.
The instalment structure has been arranged such that the business can run operations smoothly without being burdened by repayments.
biniyog.io has done in-house analyses of the projected returns of the business, and they are expected to be able to repay on time.
==============
Please note that the business may be given an incentive in the form of a discount on early repayment, which can only come in effect if the investors agree.
Following example is an illustration:
If the business repays within 6 months, the markup profit can be 9% (instead of 10.7%). This benefits both parties – the business has to pay back less and investors get their money back faster at a higher annual rate of return (e.g. 9% in 6 months means 18% per annum)
Larky Parky will share instalment cheques with biniyog.io. A personal guarantee security cheque will also be kept from the business owner.
