Although relatively new, several financial institutions are now starting to work with insurance companies to provide insurance for small and medium businesses with affordable premiums. One of them is PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) which cooperates with its subsidiary, PT Bringin Jiwa Sejahtera (Bringin Life). BRI Bank invited PT Asuransi Bringin Sejahtera Artamakmur (BSAM) and PT AJ Jiwasraya to launch Micro Insurance - Accident, Health, and Death (AM-KKM).

Apart from state-owned banks, private banks also provide SME insurance. PT Bank Danamon Tbk (BDMN) is a private bank that sees minimal SME growth, even though the SME segment has great potential for the Indonesian economy. Bank Danamon launched an insurance solution for the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) segment by collaborating with Manulife Indonesia Life Insurance.

There are five insurance products launched by Bank Danamon and Manulife Indonesia, namely: Proteksi Prima Maxima (investment service for optimal protection); Proteksi Prima Plan (planning investment service); Proteksi Prima Plan Flexi (the best planning service for optimal protection); Proteksi Prima Emas (financial planning services at the golden age); and Proteksi Prima Sejahtera (life protection services).

SOEs in the service sector also seeks to protect micro-enterprises so that SME businesses are sustainable. This can be seen in the cooperation between Madani National Capital and Asuransi Jiwasraya in terms of microfinance and microinsurance for small micro-business actors in Indonesia. A large number of SMEs have closed because small business actors failed to pay or died, encouraging this collaboration to empower UMK and cooperatives.

Advantages of Having SME Insurance

as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia do not have the awareness to join insurance to protect against the risk of loss if their business activities are destroyed due to natural disasters. The condition quoted from a report was indeed scary. Because from the news, it was also said that almost 90% of SMEs do not have insurance or protection for the business they own.

In fact, you can get various benefits by using SME insurance. Small and medium businesses also need insurance solutions not only to protect themselves and their families but also their employees. This benefit is in the form of an advantage in insurance protection which includes:

  • Property, including protection of your factory, office, and business assets, such as:
    • Fires that result in loss or damage to stocks of goods, furniture, equipment, tools, and other contents; and

4 Steps to Find Business Opportunities IN the Import Market

Desember 05, 2022 0
The import business is one of the markets for developing value-added business activities in Indonesia. Import is an activity carried out to enter goods from foreign countries into Indonesia. 

Importing activity is bringing merchandise from abroad into the country, while the importer or importer is a business actor (private company, government, group, or individual) who acts as the importer. 

Importing means the process, procedure, action procedure in importing. Import has the opposite meaning of export, if exports (exporters) issue domestic goods abroad, then imports (importers) are bringing goods from abroad into the country

As a way to expand the business run by business actors in Indonesia is a strategy to seek market opportunities for imported goods that can increase the company's profit value. 
Several strategies that can be carried out by Indonesian business actors in understanding the import market are as follows.

Business Opportunities IN the Import Market


Join the Import Community

One strategy that can be done for Indonesian entrepreneurs to be able to increase the income of the business selling goods is by joining the world import community. 
This community will make it easier for businesses to find goods with higher profits to sell or re-trade in Indonesia. To join the community, you will usually be charged a fee of 3 million to 4 million Rupiah according to the facilities we will get. 

As a new giveaway, the advantage gained is the opportunity to find suppliers of imported goods that are cheaper, more affordable, and of course have good quality goods to be resold in Indonesia at high prices.

In joining the import community, we should make sure we have seen the credibility of the community, this can be known by observing community members who have carried out importer activities and have been shown to get high profits from the activity process.

Specify the Country of Origin for Imported Goods

It is necessary for an importer to understand the process of sending goods from the destination country, not just to get cheaper goods, but to provide benefits in the long term. 

The activity of selecting the country of origin for imported goods is very important to see opportunities for trade benefits to be obtained, such as in determining the type of product purchased, the quantity, the quality of the goods, the length of time for delivery, even the customs procedures for the country of origin and destination country.

Apart from that, make sure we understand the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System , or better known as the HS Code. 

Codefication of imported goods listed in the Indonesian Customs Tariff Book (BTKI) which includes import duties, PPH and VAT, release of goods at the Customs and Excise office, and goods import permits to facilitate the process of importing goods.

Determine the goods you want to import

Of course, as business actors, we must maximize market segmentation which will be our goal. This segmentation relates to consumer behavior in buying traded goods. 

Products or goods that will be resold in Indonesia can take into account the conditions of development of the needs and interests of the community, such as;

  • Choose products that are currently trending. This is very appropriate because the type of Indonesian people who like to try new things, including buying goods, if there is something that is trending or hotly discussed, others will buy it in droves.

  • Choosing products for hobbyists (collectors). Purchasing imported products to meet the needs of hobbyists is one of the right strategies to get permanent and certain consumers.

  • Choose sensational (seasonal) items. The need for some goods will skyrocket for certain activities such as Christmas, Eid, or other religious activities. This can provide an opportunity for importers to increase consumer buying value at that moment.

This strategy is the right step in providing high profits. Make purchases in large quantities in the process of buying activities in the import market, this is an opportunity to increase maximum profits if the product is traded back in Indonesia. 

Bulk purchases such as increasing the quantity of products in the form of wholesale rather than retail.

Understand the Goods Delivery Procedure

Imported goods that we have definitely purchased and are ready to be sent to Indonesia must be able to comply with international trade procedures, especially in the shipping process from the country of origin. 
The procedure for sending imported goods has been stipulated in the regulations of the Ministry of Trade. 

Strategic steps that can be taken by Indonesian entrepreneurs are to understand and comply with the procedures that are already in effect. 

Apart from that, in the process of shipping goods, it is necessary to know a number of points to make it easier for goods to reach their destination, such as understanding the process of determining trade shipping costs for each country, choosing freight forwarder services at a lower cost, carrying out insurance on imported goods, and understanding procedures customs.

How it works by digging (doing the loader). Then the bucket will be pushed on the material that will be lifted. If the bucket is full, the tractor backs up and the bucket is lifted up to be moved later.

Existing Business Models On Cruise Ships

Desember 01, 2022 0
In almost all cruise ships, meals are included in the price of cruise tour packages purchased by passengers. In general, restaurants on cruise ships serve two meals a day, breakfast and dinner. Passengers are given set meal times during the cruise.

Even so, a new trend has emerged where diners are allowed to eat whenever they want. By providing a schedule of two meals, ships can have enough time and space to accommodate the needs of all their guests, including entertainment.

However, if you follow the trend of allowing guests to eat whenever they want, it can cause some conflicts with some events on board (such as shows and other entertainment). This problem is usually fixed by shortening the show schedule.

Cunard Line ships maintain the ocean liner class tradition and have separate dining rooms for different types of suites, while Celebrity Cruises and Princess Cruises have standard dining rooms and special “upgrade” restaurants that require pre-booking and an additional fee. Many cruise ships schedule "formal dinners."

Guests dress "formally", such as wearing ties and tuxedos for men, and formal dresses for women. The menu is more upscale than usual. In addition to dining areas, modern cruise ships often contain one or more regular buffet-style restaurants, which may be open 24 hours and with menus that vary throughout the day to provide meals ranging from breakfast to late-night snacks.

The ship also features many bars and nightclubs for the entertainment of passengers; Most cruise lines do not include alcoholic beverages and passengers are expected to pay for drinks when they consume them.

Most cruise lines also prohibit passengers from boarding and consuming drinks they bring from outside, including alcohol, while on board. Alcohol purchased from outside will be sealed and returned to passengers when they land. There is often a master galley responsible for servicing all of the major restaurants on board, although specialty restaurants may have their own galley room.


As with most ships, adequate supplies are essential, especially on cruise ships serving several thousand meals per voyage. The Royal Princess Cruise Ship, for example, requires a large number of workers to load and unload eight tons of food supplies at the beginning and end of each voyage.

Business Models On Cruise Ships



Cruise Ship on-board facilities

Most modern cruise ships have the following facilities:

  • Casino – Only open when the ship is at sea to avoid conflicts with local laws
  • Shops – Only open when the ship is at sea to avoid merchandising permits and local taxes
  • Spa
  • fitness center
  • Library
  • Theater with Broadway-style performances
  • Cinema
  • Indoor and/or outdoor swimming pool with water slide
  • Hot tub
  • Buffet restaurant
  • The waiting room
  • Gym
  • Club
  • Basketball court
  • Tennis court
  • Pool table
  • Pingpong table
  • Hospital

Some of the ships have bowling alleys, ice skating rinks, rock-climbing walls, sky-diving simulators, miniature golf courses, video arcades, ziplines, surfing simulators, basketball courts, tennis courts, chain restaurants, and/or ropes courses.

Cruise crew

Crews are usually hired on 3 to 14-month contracts which can then be renewed by mutual agreement, which is based on the passenger's assessment of the service and the characteristics of the cruise operator itself. Most staff work 77 hours for 10 months straight followed by 2 months vacation.

There are no paid vacations or pensions for service workers, or non-management crew, depending on position level and type of contract. Non-service and management crew members get paid vacations, medical options, and retirement, and can participate in company insurance plans.

The base salary is low by North American standards, although restaurant staff has a sizeable earning potential from passenger tips. Crew members do not have to bear any costs while on board, because food and accommodation, medical care, and transportation for most of the employees, have been provided free of charge by the company.

This makes a cruise ship career quite interesting even though the salary isn't exactly high. Accommodation arrangements while on a cruise ship vary depending on the company, but mostly correspond to the crew's position on the ship. Generally, two employees share a cabin with shower facilities, a commode, and a desk with a television set, while senior officers are assigned a single cabin.

There is a set of facilities for the crew separate from the passengers, such as a mess room and bar, recreation room, prayer room/mosque, and gym, with some larger ships even having a crew deck with a swimming pool and hot tubs.

For the major cruise operators, most of the “hotel staff” are employed from low-industrial countries in Asia, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean, and Central America. Although most cruise lines are headquartered in the United States. As with most international shipping companies, ships are registered in countries including the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Bahamas, and Panama.

The 2001 International Maritime Labor Convention, also known as the “Seafarers' Bill of Rights,” provides comprehensive rights and protections for all seafarers. The ILO sets strict standards regarding hours of work and rest, occupational health and safety, and living conditions for seafarers and requires governments to ensure that ships comply with the agreements that have been made.

For cruises around Hawaii, operators are required to register their vessels in the United States, including the entire crew, so these cruises are typically significantly more expensive than those operating in the Caribbean and Mediterranean.

Cruise Ship Business Model

Most cruise lines since the 2000s have dispensed with much of the cruising experience, to some extent, a la carte, as passengers jumping through significantly more than ticket sales.

Passenger tickets cover stateroom accommodation, room service, unlimited meals in the main dining area (or main restaurant) and buffets, access to shows, and use of the pool and gym facilities, while there is a daily fee to cover housekeeping and waiter service.

There are also surcharges for alcohol and soft drinks, official cruise line photos, internet and wi-fi access, and specialty restaurants. It has been reported that casinos and photos have high-profit margins.

Cruise lines generate significant revenue from selling land excursions (saving 50 percent or more of what passengers spend on these tours) offered by local contractors. In addition, cruise ships earn significant sales commissions from shoreline stores that are promoted as “preferred” (as much as 40 percent of gross sales).

Facilitating this practice is a modern cruise terminal with duty-free shop establishments within the perimeter accessible only to passengers and non-locals. Ports of call are often oriented to their own businesses and facilities solely to meet the needs of visiting cruise ships.


In one case, Icy Strait Point in Alaska, the entire destination was created solely for cruise ship visitors. Travel to and from the port of departure is the responsibility of the passenger, although purchasing an entry ticket from the cruise line for travel between the airport and the cruise terminal guarantees that the ship will not depart until the passenger has boarded.

Likewise, if a passenger books a shore excursion with a cruise line and the tour is about to end, the ship is required to stay until the passenger returns. Luxury cruise lines such as Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Crystal Cruises market their fares as "all-inclusive".

For example, the base fare for the Regent Seven Seas includes most alcoholic beverages on board and most shore excursions at the Port of Call, as well as all gratuities normally paid to hotel staff on board. The fare also includes one night's hotel stay before boarding, and airfare to and from the cruise port and destination port.
