Abstract Financial distress is a condition in which a company experiences a financial crisis and is unable to meet its obligations. This condition is characterized by a significant decline in profits, fixed assets, and other financial indicators over several periods, which often serve as early indicators of bankruptcy. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of liquidity, profitability, leverage, activity, and sales growth on financial distress. The method used in this study is purposive sampling with predetermined criteria. The sample size used was 108 manufacturing companies in the food and beverage sub-sector, in accordance with the established criteria.
