Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of financial access and financial management efficiency on the sustainability of culinary SMEs in Semarang Regency. Using a sample of 330 SMEs selected through proportional random sampling from a population of 1,876 culinary SMEs. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results show that financial access (β=0.428, p<0.01) and financial management efficiency (β=0.365, p<0.01) have a significant positive effect on SME sustainability. Simultaneously, both variables explain 54.2% of SME sustainability variation (F=45.876, p<0.01). The study recommends strengthening formal financial access and enhancing SMEs' financial management capabilities through integrated mentoring programs
