This study aims to determine the simultaneous and partial effects of sales growth, business risk, and asset structure on the capital structure of companies in the metal and allied sub-sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2022. An associative research method was employed, utilizing a sample of 15 companies from the metal and allied sub-sectors selected via purposive sampling. Data analysis techniques included descriptive statistics, panel data regression modeling, multiple linear regression, the coefficient of determination, F-tests and t-tests, and classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation). The F-test results indicate that sales growth, business risk, and asset structure simultaneously have a significant effect on capital structure. The t-test results show that sales growth has a partial effect on capital structure, whereas business risk and asset structure do not have a partial effect on capital structure.
