can a small capital work in credit bussiness?

I ussually do all the homework myself. Washing, cooking, carry my husband and also my son. That’s the duty of a mother and wife do. To sustain our financial, I used to make some homemade bakery, like donut, lumpia, panada, and cake. I have no selfconfidence when I made it first time. First reason is about the taste, is it taste good or not.? And the second one is can all of that be sold out…? 

My lovely Husband, never stop to support me. So before he left to his office, he picked up some cakes and put it in his office canteen. And it’s surprised when he arrived home after working, no cakes left, all sold out. Wow. It’s a good start for me to start a small business at home.  2 months passed away, and I got sick, to tired. And my husband asked me to stop a while for my goodness.

The profit I get from this small business is good. I got some order, but still I’m too tired finally and got sick. I need someone to help me in the kitchen. And the same time the problem appears, it’s so difficult to find any local people that can help me. Even if I got one, our room is too small for one more person.  We are a new comer in Rote Ndao, and still living in a leasing room, with one bed room, one kitchen and bathroom.  So I just accept small order as I can.

Once I got some money from my husband, it's 1 million, I decide to try another business. I order some woman’s goods from my sister who lived in Surabaya, and sell it to other with a credit payment. The profit is big enough, and I did it for 3 months. But it’s stop, coz some reasons. One, small capital, I can’t order new order before I got the payment, and it’s difficult to keep the money in an urgent condition. Two, lately payment, this business can’t run with people who are not discipline in payment. There must be a return to capital, and half of profit should be invested. So I need enough capital about 5 million, so the profit I get will become bigger, so I can use one third for sustain my life, and the rest return to capital.

a trip to rote

Rote island. It is unfamiliar for me when i came to that place1,5 years ago to lived. My husband works as a government employee in the resident office. But time passed by and rote has become my second hometown now. In the morning the road is still sleepy, you just can find 1 or 2 motorcycles.Women go down to Ba'a market carrying on their baskets full of different vegetables to be sold out. On the road as they passed we can called  them and buy   all that we need.

It's surprised for me coz its cheaper than in ende. For a family with a small number, only with a thousand, we can    prepare lunch and dinner. You can get some fresh fish in Ba'a market with price 10000 for 2 days. or 5000 and 20000 depend on the type of fish. For better type u can buy it with 20000-50000. Better type better taste. And the seller mostly women than men.

To go to rote  expecially from ende we have to on boat 2 times, because there is no direct trip to rote. We have to transit in kupang and go on to rote. There are 3 alternatives we can choose, by boat that consist of two, pelni boat and bahari Express, and also by plane. From all of that 3 choices, of course by plane is the expensive one, and it makes trip by plane become rare. So boat become the primary transportation mode to connect Rote Ndao to Kupang. Pelni boat carry all the goods in and out to Rote Ndao, while Bahari Express is a Boat Passenger.

Seewed is one bussiness  opportunity that can be done in Rote Ndao. Many farmers have better life after produce it. The crash crops, can be an export commodity and of course it can be one interesting alternative to start a small bussiness with a small capital.
