Abstract

MSMEs are the foundation of the people's economy that supports the nation's economy. In Indonesia, MSMEs contribute a lot to the regional budget. The position of MSMEs is considered very significant because this sector is not only a source of livelihood, but also provides direct and indirect employment opportunities for people with relatively low levels of knowledge and skills. During Covid-19, MSMEs experienced a significant decline. Do not escape MSMEs in Pematangsiantar City. Many MSMEs are confused because their companies are hindered and cannot even develop. Globally, supply chains have weakened due to the impact of Covid-19 due to restrictions in several surrounding areas, commodity prices have fallen, and the possibility of a global economic crisis has increased.

Abstract

In the era of globalization and rapidly changing technology, the role of entrepreneurship is increasingly important to create innovation, create jobs, develop infrastructure, and improve people's welfare. In the Indonesian economy, entrepreneurship can be one of the answers to encourage economic growth. This is because the economy of the Republic of Indonesia is now in the shadow of weakening purchasing power, which is influenced by rising interest rates and high inflation. For this reason, by continuing to increase entrepreneurship through the right policies and a conducive business environment, it is hoped that employment will be more wide-open, increase people's income and ultimately contribute to public consumption, thereby promoting sustainable and inclusive economic growth in Indonesia. This is the basis for community service activities in the form of business model development training for beginner entrepreneurs to be carried out. Located in three different sub-districts in Simalungun Regency, namely Bandar, Bosar Maligas and Bandar Masilam Districts, with the target of getting participants who will later be included in the advanced fostered members.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in regional economic growth because they are the largest absorbers of labor and a significant contributor to GDP. However, many MSME actors are still constrained by the lack of knowledge in business planning and management. In Ujung Padang and Bosar Maligas Districts, the potential of MSMEs is quite high in the culinary, trade, and handicraft sectors. The observation results show that most MSMEs are still operating traditionally without a clear business plan, thus hindering business development, access to financing, and competitiveness. To answer these problems, the service team held a "Business Planning Training for MSME Actors" to improve understanding and skills in preparing an applicable business plan. This training is expected to be able to encourage the development of MSME businesses in a more targeted and sustainable manner.
