Entrepreneurial knowledge obtained from formal education, training programs, and business communities equips entrepreneurs with the ability to face early challenges and make strategic decisions.

The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the early dynamics of business formation and highlight the importance of a holistic approach in supporting emerging entrepreneurs in Indonesia.]]>
