Abstract

Financial literacy constitutes a fundamental capability required for developing entrepreneurship in disadvantaged villages. This research aims to analyze the role of financial literacy in promoting entrepreneurial success in remote areas. The methodology employed was case study with qualitative approach in three disadvantaged villages in Central Java. Data were collected through structured interviews with 45 respondents consisting of micro-entrepreneurs and community groups. Results indicate that low financial literacy levels serve as primary barriers in business development. Entrepreneurs with good financial literacy demonstrate 73% higher business success rates compared to those lacking adequate financial knowledge. Financial literacy training programs prove effective in enhancing business financial management capabilities and access to capital. These findings provide empirical evidence that financial literacy plays a vital role in building strong entrepreneurial foundations in disadvantaged villages.
