The revenue of MSEs in creative economy sector experienced an average increase of 12.76% from Rp. 4,248,007 in the previous year and there is statistically a strong correlation (0.999) between income before getting BLM and after getting BLM. There is a significant difference between income before and after getting BLM from Gerbang Emas. Gerbang Emas program only focuses on funding or providing capital to MSEs, doesn’t try to give training on financial management in business so that only 48.5% of respondents differentiate or separate the funds for business purposes and for household use.
