The sample technique used was purposive sampling.So that a sample of 12 companies was obtained, thus obtained 60 research data. The analysistechnique used is multiple linear regression using the classical assumption test and regressionanalysis with a significance level of 5%.Based on the results of research that simultaneously uses the F test variable profitability,liquidity, sales growth, firm size, tangibility asset and firm age as control variable significantlyinfluence the capital structure. The result of partial testing using the T test show that profitability,liquidity, firm size, tangibility asset and firm age have a negative and significant effect on capitalstructure. While sales growth has a positive and insignificant effect on capital structure and theresult of control variables there are tangibility asset and firm age are -3,223 with the significantcy0,001 and -3,915 with the significantcy 0,003 so tangibility asset and firm age has a negative andsignificant effect on DER. Determination of coefficient R2 of 0,471 shows that 47,1% of thevariation of the DER is explained by the independent variables in the study while the remaining52,9% is explained by other variables outside the research.
