- The business model (selling sports shoes) is Shariah-compliant
- However, according to our Shariah Advisors, biniyog.io and the investors will NOT be liable if the day-to-day operations of the business are not fully Shariah-compliant.

Potential Risks
- Not getting the expected volume of products: The business sources the products from the manufacturer directly. Sometimes, the manufacturers tend to deliver less products than the business demands. This happens due to sudden unavailability or surged demand of the products.
- M/S. S.K. Footwear ’s strategy: The business owner has an optimum level of networking with the manufacturers. Therefore, he gets to know if there is any possibility of supply shortage beforehand. Additionally, the business purchases from different sources to keep the supply flow stable. The business owner is also working on getting onboard with new suppliers.
- Inflation: An increase in the price of raw materials would have an effect on selling prices to local buyers, possibly resulting in a decrease in sales volume.
- M/S. S.K. Footwear ’s strategy: The business is planning to make some bulk purchases with the funding. This step is expected to mitigate the price hike issue to a tolerable level.
- Possibility of political turmoil ahed of the upcoming election: Our assessment assumes that there will be some macroeconomic turmoil towards the end of 2023 before the general election. This may impact any business.
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, if not hugely impacted by macroeconomic issues.
==============
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 10 months, the markup profit can be 15% (instead of 17%). 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. 15% in 10 months means 18% per annum)
biniyog.io will buy the products on behalf of investors first and secure ownership. The products will then be handed over to M/S. S.K. Footwear within a very short time frame.
M/S. S.K. Footwear would have the right to reject the products due to quality etc. The risk is expected to be minimal since M/S. S.K. Footwear themselves will be choosing the items before biniyog.io buys them.
This is a necessary risk to ensure Shariah compliance of the transaction.
M/S. S.K. Footwear will share instalment cheques with biniyog.io. Additionally, a personal guarantee security cheque will be kept from the business owner. Additionally, a guarantor will be provided by the business owner as well.
