Legal Status of MSMEs in Giripanggung Village, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Abstract

This study comprehensively explores the legal compliance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Giripanggung Village, Tepus District, Gunungkidul Regency. The research aims to identify the current state of business legality, including registration and certification such as Business Identification Number (NIB), Home Industry Food Production Certificate (SPP-IRT), Hygiene and Safety Certificate, and Halal Certification. Based on a dataset of 21 MSMEs, the findings indicate that while there is notable entrepreneurial activity in the village, the level of legal compliance is still low. These results underscore the importance of targeted mentoring and capacity-building programs for MSMEs to improve competitiveness and access to wider markets.
