<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the influence of access to capital and creativity on the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the ready-to-eat culinary sector in West Padang District, Indonesia. A quantitative research approach was employed using multiple linear regression analysis. The population consisted of 1,922 ready-to-eat culinary MSMEs, and a sample of 95 respondents was selected using the Yamane formula with a 10% margin of error. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale. The results indicate that access to capital does not have a significant effect on MSME performance, whereas creativity has a positive and significant effect. These findings suggest that creativity plays a more important role than access to capital in improving MSME performance through product innovation, packaging development, and marketing strategies.]]>
