Disclosure Policy

Every story on Business Mistery begins with a single question: what really happened behind closed doors? Since 2022, we’ve been peeling back the polished layers of Indonesia’s business landscape—uncovering the hidden decisions, quiet failures, and unlikely turns that shaped the country’s most talked-about companies. But to keep those investigations coming, we need more than curiosity. We need to keep the lights on. That’s where a small, honest network of partners steps in.

You’ll notice that some of our articles gently point toward tools like Jurnal.id, Mekari, and Buku Bisnis—services we genuinely believe can help founders and finance teams avoid the very pitfalls we explore. When you click a link or sign up through one of these references, Business Mistery earns a small fee. It’s a simple, transparent arrangement: we only recommend products we’d use ourselves, and the commission never influences which stories we tell or how we tell them.

Think of it as a trade-off with a twist. We get to fund our next deep dive into a startup’s sudden collapse or a family business’s quiet revival. You get clear, upfront disclosure about exactly how we’re supported. No hidden agendas, no secret handshakes—just a written note that says, “Hey, this link might help us keep investigating.” That’s the pact we’ve made with every reader who has ever wondered about the real backstory behind a headline.

We also welcome sponsored content from time to time—but only when it fits the curious, behind-the-scenes spirit of the site. Any paid partnership will be clearly labeled, and we’ll never dress up a sponsor’s message as independent investigation. The line between story and sponsorship is drawn in ink, not erased. If you ever suspect that line has blurred, or if you simply want to know more about our monetisation practices, head to our Contact Us page. We’ll answer honestly—because that’s the only way a mystery can be solved.
