Based on the results of the study, it could be concluded that several general conditions and problem s faced by business owners in MSME were, among others, the capital financing, increase in raw materials prices, decrease in people’s purchasing power affecting the product order, facilities from the National Handicraft Council in the form of exhibitions and other promotions which could not be enjoyed by all business owners in MSME (due to different treatments for business owners in MSME), and tax imposition which was the same for all levels of turnover or sales. Much of the training that business owners in MSME had attended needed follow-ups. Therefore, this became a thing that needed attention from government of Yogyakarta City. Business owners had made a variety of efforts autonomously to solve the problem they faced. The efforts included, among others, establishing joint business groups facilitating a variety of their attempts in marketing, capital financing, and industry sharing.
