However, the program is relatively not optimal because the impact has not been significant. Based on these problems, the purpose of this study is to see how the impact of capital accessibility on income levels as a determinant of the competitiveness of informal business actors. Based on the in-depth interview and exploratory descriptive method, the results of the analysis show that informal business actors in Malang City who participate in the capital cooperation network have a higher income level, so that their competitiveness is relatively increased.

Group networks are categorized as social capital, which determines the success rate of strengthening business competitiveness. These results can be used as a reference for the preparation of regulations to strengthen the competitiveness of informal business actors who are approached from strengthening the accessibility of capital.]]>
