<![CDATA[This study examines the legal and financial implications of Indonesia’s recognition of sole proprietorships as a new legal entity under the Job Creation Law for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). While this status facilitates business establishment and access to funding, it raises risks for creditor protection due to weak legal and financial safeguards. Using a non-doctrinal, empirical juridical approach through interviews and legal analysis, the research identifies key challenges: MSME actors’ limited legal awareness, creditors’ restricted access to financial information, poor separation of personal and business assets, and inefficiencies in the judicial system.
