Bimbingan Teknis Perizinan Usaha untuk UMKM Binaan Bizhub Polibatam

Abstract

UMKM play a crucial role in the Indonesian economy (Permana, 2017). Bizhub Polibatam, as the Center of Excellence at the State Polytechnic of Batam, focuses on the study of entrepreneurship, business management, and society 5.0. It actively contributes to enhancing the competitiveness of UMKM in the city of Batam and its surrounding areas by providing comprehensive mentoring services. Through the indirect ownership of business permits by UMKM, the entrepreneurs also gain benefits as participants in social security and have legal protection to operate, receiving empowerment assistance from the government. The complex and intricate process of business licensing and bureaucracy, coupled with a lack of knowledge or access to relevant information, often hinders the growth and development of UMKM (Carina, et al., 2022). This research utilizes observation and a qualitative approach. The results of the community service activities indicate success in registering the NIB for 20 UMKM. The registration process can be deemed successful due to the active participation of the UMKM owners. Those involved in these activities have demonstrated a high level of compliance with the applicable rules and regulations.
