TOPIC FIVE
Capital is the financial assets which are used to pay for the business needs to start-up the
cost of pre-investment, the management of licenses, the cost of fix assets, and the cost of
working capital. The cost of pre-investment includes preparation of building a company, for
example the cost of field survey, licenses, and many more. Then, an entrepreneur will use the
capital to operate a business and as a tool to do some activities. For working capital it
depends on the level of business that will be run. If the business is smaller we will need
smaller working capital. If the business is medium to big the cost will increase. In a general
term, capital is money to run a business. Capital also serves as a support for succeeding a
business. In a more specific way, capital is classified not only as money but as the resources.
The resources can be from the skill resources, the resources of knowledge and willingness.
The resources are the primary sources that an entrepreneur should have before an
entrepreneur runs a business.

B. Types of Capital
1. Willing Capital, Ability, and Knowledge
Someone who succeeded in becoming an entrepreneur was caused by having the
will, ability, and knowledge. There is a will, but it does not have the ability, it will be difficult
to develop and succeed. Conversely, having knowledge and abilities, but not accompanied by
will, it will not materialize as an entrepreneur. To be an entrepreneur, there must be a strong
determination, a high urge to try to do it. Determination, intention, and motivation or called
will is the main capital that must be there for the first time.
Willingness and determination are not enough, but also must be equipped with
abilities (skills), because they face challenges and risks. If the capital is only reckless or
speculative without having the skills to calculate risk, what is faced is failure. Therefore,
there are several entrepreneurial skills that must be possessed, including:
1. Conceptual skills in managing strategies and calculating risks
2. Creative skills in creating added value
3. Reliability in leading and managing
4. Communication and interacting skills
5. Business skills that will be carried out
The level of willingness, ability and knowledge is known as entrepreneurial
competence. This is as stated by Michael Harris (2000: 19)
"Successful entrepreneurs in general are those who have competencies, namely those who
have the knowledge, skills, and individual qualities which include attitudes, motivations,
personal values and behaviors needed to carry out work / activities"
Thus, knowledge knowledge alone is not enough, but also must be accompanied by
managerial skills, conceptual skills, skills to understand and understand, communication and
related skills, skills in formulating problems and ways of acting, skills in formulating
problems and ways of acting, regulating skills and use time, and other specific technical
skills.

capital. Social capital consists of honesty, trust, and commitment. Honesty, trust, and
commitment (keeping promises) are the main capital that can improve the image. A person

Honesty, integrity, and the accuracy of promises are social capital that can foster
trust from time to time, and can give birth and increase material capital.

The second human capital is intellectual capital. According to Stewart T.A (1997),
intellectual capital consists of competence, commitment, ability, responsibility, knowledge,
and skills (abilities) which can be described as follows:

d. Capital Motivation
Motivational capital is an encouragement or passion for progress. Motivation is
human capital for everyone to continue to live and advance. The success or failure of
entrepreneurship is very dependent on the high or low motivation of entrepreneurs.
Businesses that lack enthusiasm or are full of doubts will make a failure.

as the type of capital according to form and also the type of capital based on function. Based
on the nature, capital consists of two types, they are:

the eye. This type of capital can be in the form of places, raw materials for production,
machinery, or warehouses.
4. Loan capital
Foreign capital or loan capital is capital that is often obtained from outside parties

number, meaning that it is not available in large quantities. Besides that, using loan capital

• Loans from the banking world, both from private banking and also from the government or
foreign banks

pension funds, and cooperatives and also about other financial institutions.

financed from outside, investors or banks. Personal funding sources: savings, life insurance,
cars, homes.

the form of money or sales that have not been paid in full. Receivables can be a good basis
for loans. If consumers are eligible to get credit, a bank can finance up to 80 percent of the
value of the receivables.
b. Inventory loans

inventory can be used as collateral for the value of money up to 50% of the original value.

companies that develop technology with funds provided by individual investors and limited
partnerships

working capital is capital used to finance the company's operations when the company is
operating.

Group five had done a visit field to JUWITA GALLERY’s shop, located in Belibis St.
So, our group went to the shop and met to the owner named Rahmi Juwita who still young
and has her own clothing business. Our group did an interview to the entrepreneur by asking
some questions related to our topic, which is about “HOW TO GET CAPITAL AND
FINANCE SUPPORT “.
As a result from doing an interview with Rahmi Juwita, the owner of a clothing store
named Juwita galerry. She started a business since she was in college, with strong intentions
and beliefs, she is able to run a business that starts from scratch, until her shop has many
customers like now. Initially, she only did business through online, from social media such as
BBM, Instagram, Facebook, Line, etc. until finally he was determined to open his own
clothing store in the UNP campus area.
Talking about capital, to open a store is not an easy thing, starting from convincing
her parents, looking for a strategic place to start her business, capital and financial support,
and many other things.
In establishing her business, she obtained financial support from his family, borrowed
money from his father and brother. She did not borrow through banks or other shares. "The
time has entered its third year, and progress from sales has increased every month," she said.
She doesn't have enough investment capital, but he has a large working capital. Therefore he
was able to survive until now. Working capital in running a business is very important,
because without the working capital the business we run will be in vain. In addition, Rahmi
Juwita is a businesswoman who has a strong working capital.
