Small business owner needs inventory funding to purchase bulk order from Chinese supplier but lacks upfront capital due to personal expenses and low credit, and existing loan options have prohibitive interest rates.

Existing funding options (small business loans, credit cards) require high credit or steady income, and have high interest that accumulates before sales begin; no option for revenue-sharing or profit-based repayment.

Direct payment to suppliers for bulk orders
Integrated dashboard to track sales and repayment progress

Target Users: Small e-commerce business owners selling physical products, especially those sourcing from overseas, who need inventory capital but lack credit or cash flow for traditional loans.
