The only options for any SME business operating in any market to access capital is financial institutes, including banks, that will ONLY lend on their own terms and conditions. This cycle is not helping US business owners sustain a resilient economic model during the financial crisis, as access to working capital is expensive and can break any business continuity.
As a business owner, I should have easy access to the working capital on my own terms and conditions. Asabik provides the solution to any ethical business owner to easily access the required capital on their own terms and conditions and facilitate responsible growth.
The Profit Sharing Ratio (PSR) is the percentage of profit will be shared to the investors and set by registered company or business at the start when their details is published on Asabik platform. Each business is asked during the registration process two questions that is used to calculate the PSR and the ratio will be shown. First question is the average monthly net profit and second question is how much of the average monthly net profit the business is willing to share with its investors.
See example below :
Business A answered that their average monthly net profit is $8800, and they are willing to share $1760 monthly with investors. Then the PSR is $1760/$8800 % = 20%
Each month, Company A will share 20% of any profit they make until the end of the investment term. If the company made a loss or zero profit during any month, they are not required to pay anything on that month
Suppose the profit they made in the next four months is as follows with calculated PSR
Jan Profit $10,000 x 20% = $2500 shared profit with investors for Jan
Feb Profit $8,000 x 20% = $2000 shared profit with investors for Feb
Mar Profit $6,000 x 20% = $1500 shared profit with investors for Mar
Apr Profit $0 x 20% = $0 shared profit with investors for Apr
The PSR is the reference of profit sharing during investment term. It can’t be modified after investment is received. However, the business or company can change it before any investors made any investment on their company. Suppose Company B set the PSR to be 8% and after 10 days there were no investors joined due to the rate being not attractive return. They changed it to be 14% and managed to get the investment fund they need in less than seven days.
It is also important to the investor as this ratio will be used to calculate the profit share percentage for the SME he/she invested in. The more profit a business makes in any month, the more return the investor gets for his/her investment.
The interest system can kill innovation, especially for small companies, because of the obligation to pay the principal debt and interest without regard to the company’s financial condition while the Profit and Loss Sharing Model can solve this problem for business owners/ entrepreneurs.
The interest system can reduce investment activities because of the burden of investment costs. If interest rates are raised because of monetary policy, private investors will receive large losses due to lower economy growth and limited investment opportunities. The Profit and Loss Sharing Model can solve this problem for investors. The amount of profit generated will fluctuate according to the real benefits derived from the use of investment funds, hence circulation of the money increased and reduce the exposure to a currency devaluation.
The structure of the profit-sharing instrument has unprecedentedly effective tools to reach the economic goals of full employment, stability, balanced growth, and equity. The Profit and Loss Sharing Model is considered the most effective method to influence economic activity.
