Problem
Indonesia faces a significant affordable housing shortage, with a backlog of over 13 million units. Many potential homeowners are unable to secure traditional mortgages due to a lack of formal income documentation, as a large percentage of the workforce is employed in the informal sector. Developers also face challenges in securing working capital, which can delay projects and negatively impact buyers.
Solution
Amani provides a property technology platform designed to address the affordable housing gap in Indonesia by connecting buyers, investors, developers, and other stakeholders in the property ecosystem. The platform offers innovative, sharia-compliant financing solutions that enable buyers to purchase homes even without traditional bank financing. Amani also facilitates project financing for developers and provides access to a broader market for sellers, contractors, suppliers, land owners, and sales agents. The platform aims to streamline the property buying process and increase access to affordable housing for a wider range of Indonesians.
Target Audience
Amani targets first-time homebuyers in Indonesia, particularly those in the informal sector who lack access to traditional mortgage financing, as well as property developers seeking project financing and access to a wider pool of potential buyers.
