Potential Risks
- Not having an in-house production facility anymore: The business had its own manufacturing facility but it was recently sold to another party who will be providing manufacturing service to the business. Not having its own manufacturing facility might result in a significant downturn in the overall profit margin of the business. Moreover, the business might lose the negotiation power to the manufacturing service provider. This will drive up the overall production cost of the product resulting in less profit margin for the business.
- MIB Lifestyle’s strategy: The manufacturing portion of the business was bought by the business’s managing director. So, the business already has a good understanding with him and the chance of manufacturing service cost going up unaccountably is very low. Additionally, the business is looking to keep things as before the manufacturing facility was sold off. Therefore, the business should be able to keep its expected profit margin.
- Exchange rate instability and dollar shortage: Bangladesh imports most of the raw materials related to clothing manufacturing (e.g. tapes, zippers, yarn, fabrics). Considering the current state of dollar reserve, imports of any sort of products may get hampered. However, this will not just impact MIB Lifestyle in particular, but almost all kinds of businesses..
- MIB Lifestyle’s strategy: MIB Lifestyle is planning to tackle this by buying the fabric and accessories beforehand using the investment raised through biniyog.io, so that the business remains safe against future uncertainties.
- High season-based sales sensitivity: Just like most other fashion brands, MIB’s sales are also heavily dependent on seasons such as the most selling season is the time of Eid-ul-Fitr. Moreover, the business often has to allow partial credit to some of its old and loyal customers (retailers).
- MIB Lifestyle’s strategy: The business tries to increase its sales not only during the Eid-ul-Fitr but also during other peak times such as Eid-ul-Adha, winter, etc. This lets the business mitigate the possible cash crunch it would’ve fallen in if it only targeted the Eid-ul-Fitr. The business also works with ladies clothing items that has a stable flow of sales throughout the year.
biniyog.io will buy the products on behalf of investors first and secure ownership. MIB Lifestyle would have the right to reject the products due to quality etc. The risk is expected to be minimal since MIB Lifestyle themselves will be choosing the items before biniyog.io buys them.
This is a necessary risk to ensure Shariah compliance of the transaction.
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 considering their cash-flow.
MIB Lifestyle will share instalment cheques with biniyog.io. A personal guarantee security cheque will also be kept from the business owner along with a guarantor.
