Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME.
entrepreneurs feel hesitant in accessing credit when they do not understand why a guarantee should be a formal loan requirement.
Meanwhile, formal credit providers prefer borrowers who can provide collateral.

Review of Literature 1 Theory of Capital Structure Capital struktur is a comparison between debt and own capital (Putu et al.
, 2.
Capital structure is important in a company because the capital structure reflects the company's financial position (Maulida & Arfinto, 2.
The capital structure of Micro.
Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME.
is very important because many small businesses fail due to negligence in determining the capital structure and financial leverage of these small businesses.
Research focusing on capital structure in focusing on capital structure in focusing on capital structure in focusing on capital structure in Micro.
Small, andMedium Enterprises (MSME.
has not been done much.
The capital structure of small businesses becomes very important because many small businesses fail due to negligence in determining the capital structure and financial leverage of these small businesses.
Small business owners follow the pecking order theory in meeting their business funding needs as well as paying attention to market conditions and their personal preferences in funding decisions (R.
Cole et al.
, 2.
The point is that small business owners financetheirown capital at the start-up stage and also pay attention to market conditions, but the selection of capital will be in accordance with the personal preferences of small business owners.
On the pecking order theory constructed by, it is stated that in financing its business, the company's first source of funding is to use internal funding sources then then use funding sources from debt or other external funding.
Based on pecking order theory, the source of funding desired by the company is first the company's retained earnings, debt, and then the issuance of new equity.
External funding sources are important because if a company only gets capital from the company's internal funding, then the company's growth is tidak as fast as the company's ethics using external funding sources (Madestam, 2.
2 Credit According to (UU No.
10 Tahun 1998 Tentang Perubahan Atas Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 1992 Tentang Perbankan [JDIH BPK RI], n.
), loan is a money or bill that can be equated with it, based on an agreement or loan agreement between the bank and another party that obliges the borrower to pay off the debt after a certain period of time with the provision of interest.
In credit activities, there are elements in it, which are interrelated.
Times A person who is going to borrow money will pay attention to the term of repayment of the loan that he got.
The longer the repayment period will please the potential borrower.
the contrary, the shorter the repayment period will make the prospective borrower rethink, whether to keep borrowing or change another place.
Belief The bank or place that will provide the loan must be sure and trust that the borrower will be able to return the loan.
If the creditor no longer has confidence in the prospective borrower, then it will obviously have problems in the future.
Submission The delivery of loan money has 2 .
ways, namely in cash or by transfer between bank accounts.
If the loan amount is large, then the borrower will be happier if it is transferred between bank accounts to avoid various kinds of unwanted things.
On the other hand, if the loan is made in a not large amount, it can be in the form of cash or transfers between bank accounts.
Risks The creditor must understand very well about the borrower's record, this is to minimize the risks that will arise in the future.
Prospective borrowers who have a negative value will be shunned by creditors, because they have great risks.
Meanwhile, prospective borrowers whose record is good, will be happy for the creditor to provide a loan.
Agreement/Covenant To avoid risks in the future, there must be an employment agreement between the creditor and the borrower.
In this agreement it will be mentioned what are the rights and obligations between the 1st party of the creditor and the 2nd party of the borrower.
Both parties must agree on the contents of the agreement and sign with a stamp, so as to have the force if in the future there is a deviation either intentional or not between the creditor and the In the agreement is also written about how to resolve if there is a dispute.
These five elements are present in every credit activity and are interrelated.
For example, when a Micro.
Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) will apply for credit and be approved, the lender will provide credit with the consent of both parties.
When it comes to providing credit, formal credit provider institutions certainly provide trust and hand over economic value to these Micro.
Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME.
On the other hand, there are risk factors that may occur when providing credit or repaying credit.
Micro.
Small, andMedium Enterprises (MSME.
must also repay the loan in accordance with the agreement or time that has been agreed.
3 Credit Access The growth of credit access by Micro.
Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME.

Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME.
as a safe and sustainable source of funding.
Allcommercial banks include Micro.
Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME.
in their credit schemes to develop access to formal credit.
Access to formal credit is that there are no obstacles related to administrative costs or procedures at formal credit provider institutions that are felt by Micro.
Small, andMedium Enterprises (MSME.
when applying for credit.
The dimensions used in explaining the variabel access to formal credit are the frequency of Micro.
Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME.
accessing credit in formal credit provider institutions and the nominal credit that has been successfully borrowed by Micro.

4 Credit Terms Credit requirements are a standard set by a credit provider that must be met by the debtor where these requirements are used to determine or determine the ability of the debtor to repay his credit.
In terms of the credit terms used to assess creditworthiness, credit terms are used to assess the creditworthiness of the debtor as well as collateral for credit risk that is impossible for the debtor to pay.
The dimensions used to measure the credit period are the collateral value, the credit repayment term and the interest rate (Oktavianti Venny, 2.
In order to be able to carry out credit with lancer, formal credit provider institutions apply the principle of crediting known as the 5C principle, namely:
Character In providing credit, the creditor pays attention to the character of the prospective The purpose of the credit provider institution is to find out the character of the prospective debtor so that the creditor knows how the debtor's track record is and knows the extent of honesty and willingness of the prospective debtor to fulfill his obligations Capacity Capacity is defined as an assessment made by creditors before giving credit to debtors.
The assessment assesses the ability of prospective debtors to pay off their credit obligations, for example by looking at the form of business activities carried out by conducting surveys to the debtor's place of business.
Capital The definition of capital is how much capital or personal funds are owned by prospective debtors.
This tends to be contrary to the function of creditors as fund providers, but prospective debtors who have a large enough personal capital will certainly run their business seriously.
Collateral Collaterals are goods that are used as collateral and handed over by prospective debtors to creditors as collateral for the credit received by Micro.

Condition of economy Condition of economy is political, economic, social, cultural and others that affect the economic state of a business that obtains credit.

Financial literacy helps Micro.

to prepare them for difficult financial times by reducing risks such as collecting savings, diversifying assets and buying insurance.
Financial literacy is financial knowledge and the application of that financial knowledge in everyday life (Houston, 2.

03% which was previously in 2016 at 29.
7% (Paramitalaksmi et al.
Financial literacy and financial knowledge are important assets in a company, especially small businesses.
Financial literacy is not only measured by how a person has information about finances but how he can apply them appropriately.
The dimensions used to measure financial literacy are debt literacy and recording of debt.
