Abstract

Business legality is a crucial foundation for strengthening the identity, credibility, and competitiveness of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in rural areas. Many MSME actors face obstacles in accessing formal legality due to limited knowledge and administrative capacity. This community service program aimed to empower MSMEs in Panaikang Village, East Sinjai District, through assistance in obtaining business legality, specifically the Business Identification Number (NIB) and Halal Certification. The program employed a participatory approach consisting of an initial survey, program socialization, data collection, training sessions, and direct assistance in issuing legal documents. The target group included MSME actors engaged in food processing, snacks, beverages, and local products. The results demonstrate a significant increase in participants’ understanding of the importance of business legality, product packaging, and basic marketing strategies. Most MSME actors successfully obtained their NIB, while several culinary businesses proceeded to the halal certification application stage. This assistance also enhanced entrepreneurs’ confidence and readiness to expand market access, including participation in local MSME exhibitions. The program contributed to strengthening local economic potential and promoting sustainable community-based economic development. Overall, business legality assistance proved to be an effective empowerment strategy for improving MSME resilience, formalization, and competitiveness in rural communities. Continuous collaboration between universities, local governments, and supporting institutions is recommended to ensure sustainability and broader impact.

Abstract

This study examines the development of entrepreneurial management in utilizing tourism potential as a strategy to enhance community economic empowerment, with empirical evidence from Mallenreng Beach, Panaikang Village, Sinjai Regency, Indonesia. Despite possessing significant coastal tourism potential, Mallenreng Beach has faced persistent challenges related to weak management practices, limited human resource capacity, inadequate tourism infrastructure, low marketing capability, and the absence of business legality among local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). This research adopts a community-based empowerment approach implemented through the Program for Strengthening Student Organization Capacity (PPK ORMAWA) initiated by the Scientific Writing Student Activity Unit of Universitas Muhammadiyah Sinjai. The program employed participatory methods, including needs assessment, training, mentoring, and monitoring, focusing on tourism management, MSME business legality (Business Identification Number and Halal Certification), product branding and packaging, digital marketing, and village website management. The findings demonstrate a significant improvement in managerial capacity among tourism managers, increased formalization of MSMEs through legal certification, enhanced product attractiveness and marketing reach, and improved digital promotion of village tourism potential. These outcomes contributed to increased community participation, strengthened local economic activities, and improved institutional collaboration between stakeholders. This study contributes to the literature on entrepreneurial tourism management by providing practical evidence that integrated capacity-building interventions can effectively transform local tourism resources into sustainable drivers of community economic empowerment in rural coastal areas
