Resumen
El problema social identificado es la falta de habilidades de gestión financiera entre
los microempresarios, particularmente en el control de ingresos y gastos. Esta deficiencia
repercute negativamente en la estabilidad económica y en el crecimiento de sus negocios, ya
que limita su capacidad para manejar recursos de manera eficiente y los expone a un mayor
riesgo de endeudamiento o cierre.
La solución planteada consiste en una plataforma accesible a través de WhatsApp,
diseñada para que los microempresarios gestionen sus finanzas de forma sencilla y eficiente,
sin necesidad de herramientas complejas. Esta aplicación permite registrar transacciones,
separar las finanzas personales de las empresariales y generar reportes automáticos. Además,
incorpora comandos de voz que facilitan la accesibilidad, lo que brinda a los usuarios un
mayor control sobre sus operaciones financieras diarias.
El impacto esperado de la propuesta es relevante tanto a nivel social como financiero.
Desde la dimensión social, se proyecta que la solución contribuirá a mejorar la estabilidad
económica de los microempresarios, fomentando un crecimiento inclusivo y la creación de
empleos decentes, en concordancia con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. En términos
financieros, el modelo presenta un valor actual neto VAN de S/ 3,054,288.80 descontado al
costo de oportunidad del capital COK 15.06%, con una Tasa Interna de Retorno (TIR) de
59.87 % en el horizonte 2024 - 2029. Asimismo, la inversión inicial de S/ 1,125,752.37 se
recuperaría en dos años y ocho meses, lo que demuestra la viabilidad del proyecto.
The identified social problem is the limited financial management skills of micro- entrepreneurs, particularly in tracking income and expenses. This deficiency negatively affects the financial stability and growth of their businesses, restricting their capacity to manage resources effectively and exposing them to risks such as debt accumulation and business closure. The proposed solution is a WhatsApp-based platform designed to support micro- entrepreneurs in managing their finances in a simple and efficient manner, without the need for complex tools. The platform allows users to record transactions, separate personal and business finances, and generate automatic reports. In addition, it incorporates voice command functionality to enhance accessibility. This tool provides micro-entrepreneurs with greater control over their financial activities. The expected impact is both social and financial. The solution is projected to strengthen the economic stability of micro-entrepreneurs, promote inclusive economic growth, and contribute to the creation of decent jobs, in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals. From a financial perspective, the model shows a Net Present Value (NPV) of S/ 3,054,288.80, discounted at a Cost of Capital (COK) of 15.06%. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is 59.87% over the 2024–2029 horizon. The initial investment (t0) amounts to S/ 1,125,752.37 and the payback period is 2.65 years (approximately 2 years and 8 months), confirming the project’s viability.
