INTRODUCTION

Development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in Indonesia as an important part of national economic development. Development Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in Indonesia are now part of this important for national economic development. The Role of Small and Micro Enterprises Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are very influential for economic growth in a region country. The existence of MSMEs that are widespread indicates the economy in a region the region is independent or prosperous, and there are mushrooming MSMEs that can is a sign that the number of unemployed is small in an area, because the community has been able to open jobs for others surrounding.

For this reason, it is necessary to have a credit system that can reach the lowest strata of society while at the same time encouraging its readiness to improve business performance (Ridwan, 2004). especially in terms of productivity, contribution to exports, participation in global and regional production networks, and contribution to added value. The quality of human resources for Indonesian MSMEs is one of the factors that hinder the performance of these MSMEs. To improve performance MSMEs need quality human resources so that MSMEs are capable facing increasingly fierce business competition during the pandemic. In an era of increasingly fierce competition and environmental changes, including information technology, of course, it requires good quality human resources so that they can adapt to these changes (Hendratmoko, 2021).

In Indonesia, MSMEs have articles that regulate them, namely through laws No. 9 of 1999 and changed to Law no. 20 Article 1 of 2008 concerning Business Micro, Small, and Medium. Then it is strengthened by the Mandate of Stipulations People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia Number XI/MPR-RI/1998 regarding Economic Politics in the framework of economic democracy, micro, and small enterprises and the middle class needs to be empowered as an integral part of the people's economy which has a position, role, and strategic potential to realize a balanced, developing, and just national economic structure. MSMEs can be supported by various financial institutions in the form of banks and no-banks such as cooperatives, in Sharia-based Financial Institutions where financial institutions have the function of collecting funds from the public in the form of savings and distribute it to the community in loan form.

Financial institutions collect funds from the public excess funds and distribute them to those who lack funds, Institutions Islamic finance has products and services with characteristics including the elimination of the burden of continuous interest, limiting activities unproductive speculation and financing aimed at businesses which is lawful according to sharia principles so that it can be achieved by weak people. One of the many financial institutions that base all of its activities on interest-free sharia principles is Baitul Maal wa Tamwil (BMT). BMT is one type of non-bank financial institution 3 operates on a micro scale such as savings and loan cooperatives.

BMT has two types the meaning is baitul maal which means house of money and baitul tamwil meaning financing house. The presence of BMT Gunung Jati as a sharia financial institution non-bank-based has been known by the community, this BMT is located in Jalan Sunan Gunungjati no 53 Kalisapu, 45151 Cirebon. This institution has the aim is to help people who need funding as additional capital in developing its business.

Several factors make it difficult to obtain funding or financing to As is well known, agribusiness (fisheries and agriculture) has risks because their income is dependent on nature. The hard factor in obtaining other funding is due to the area of ​​Suranenggala Regency still being considered a red zone by financial institutions due to its character of people from seacoast areas who seem tough. Difficult obtaining funding from financial institutions has an impact on the difficult development of community businesses in the fisheries and agricultural sectors. One of the MSMEs focused on by BMT Gunung Jati is business green mussels in Muara village, Gunung Jati district, Cirebon regency. Village Muara, Gunung Jati District, which is located in a coastal area, has the potential abundant sea as a potential source of growth and development community economy.

The natural potential of Gunung Jati District is its marine products abundant, both in the form of crabs, shellfish, fish, and shrimp. However, the majority of fishing communities in Muara Village, Gunung Jati District, are many who work as shellfish fishermen, because of the abundance of shellfish and seafood they have a farm located in the sea which is usually deep harvested for three months and depends on the frequency of seasonal changes. Marketing is very important in institutional finance. This marketing is intended so that people know and Get to know the products owned by the financial institution. Main component In marketing there are three, namely first, industry or marketers. Second, consumer or market. Third, is the marketing environment. While the core concept of there is seven marketing, namely First, the customer (customer). Second, definitions of marketing. Third, needs want, and requests. Fourth, product (goods, services, and ideas). Fifth, value, cost, satisfaction, and quality. Sixth, exchange transactions, and relationships. Seventh, market and marketing.

Not only in terms of capital, but BMT also provides material regarding usury so that people can be free from moneylenders and BMT also directs its customers on how to buy and sell in sharia. The efforts made by BMT, prove that BMT has a role active in developing the productivity of micro, small, and medium enterprises. In pursuing the development of micro-enterprises BMT also faces constraints that will hinder the desire for the goals that have been set. there are two obstacles, namely, first, internal factors, namely from the BMT itself there are some employees who do not understand and lack capital. both external factors from customers such as less than optimal ability to manage his business as well as strong competition and delay in deposit. While the research difference lies only focuses on the development of micro and medium enterprises as the target.

THEORETICAL BASIS

Baitul Maal Wat Tamwil (BMT)

BMT is an abbreviation of Baitul Mal wat Tamwil. this institution is a combination of two functions, namely baitul mal or fund house as well baitul tamwil or business house. Baitul Mal has been developed since the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW as an institution whose job is to collect all at once distributing (tashoruf) social funds, such as zakat, infaq, and shodaqoh (ZIS). While baitu tamwil is a business-oriented financial institution profit. For Baitul Tamwil is an effort to collect and distribute funds commercial (Supendi & Maududi, 2018). Besides that, BMT too can receive deposits of zakat, infaq, and alms, then distribute them accordingly to regulations and mandates (Huda et al., 2016).

According to the Small Business Incubation Center (PINBUK), BMT is a business center integrated independent whose contents are bay al-mal wa al-tamwil with activities to develop productive businesses and invest in improving the quality of the economic activities of small and small entrepreneurs among others encourage saving activities and support activity financingthe economy. In addition, Baitul Mal wa Tamwil (BMT) also accepts deposits of zakat, infaq, and alms and distributes them by regulations and trustworthiness (Yuningrum, 2012).

From this understanding can be drawn a comprehensive understanding that BMT is a business organization that also plays a social role. social role BMT can be seen in the definition of baitul maal, while the business role of BMT can be seen in the definition of baitul tamwil.

 

BMT features

As an independent business institution, BMT has the following main characteristics: (1) business oriented, seeking mutual profit, increasing the most economic benefits for members and their environment; (2) it is not a social institution but can be used to make the use of zakat, infaq, and alms for the welfare of the people more effective; (3) grown from below from the BMT environment itself, not owned by individuals or people from outside the community (Rodoni, 2008).

Besides the main characteristics above, BMT also has special characteristics, namely: (1) BMT staff and employees act actively, dynamically, with a productive outlook, not waiting but picking up customers, both as depositors of funds and as recipients of business financing; (2) the office is opened at a certain time and is awaited by a limited number of staff because some of the staff have to work in the field to find depositor customers, monitor and supervise the customer's business; (3) BMT holds regular lectures where the time and place are determined according to the activities of customers and BMT members; (4) BMT management is carried out in a professional and Islamic manner. Based on the description above, it can be seen that the BMT work procedures must: formulated simply so that it is easy to set up and be handled by customers who are mostly low-educated.

 

BMT Roles and Functions

BMT is open, independent, development-oriented savings and financing to support a productive economic business for members and the social welfare of the surrounding community, especially micro and The poor. The role of BMT in the community is as follows (Al-Arif, 2011). Keep people away from non-sharia economic practices. Active socialization in the community about the importance of the Islamic economic system. This can be done with training on Islamic transaction methods, for example, proof of transaction, not cheating on scales, and being honest with consumers. Conduct coaching and funding of small businesses.

BMTs must be active in carrying out their functions as microfinance institutions, for example by mentoring, coaching, counseling, and supervising the businesses of customers or the general public. Let go of dependence on moneylenders, people who are still dependent on moneylenders because moneylenders can fulfill the wishes of the community by fulfilling funds immediately.

So BMT must be able to serve the community better, for example, available funds at any time, simple bureaucracy. Maintain social economic justice with an even distribution. Function BMT directly dealing with a complex society is required to be smart in attitude, therefore the steps to evaluate in order to map priority scales that must be considered, for example in matters of financing, BMT must pay attention to the eligibility of customers in terms of customer groups and types of financing.

BMT has several functions including (Salman, 2010): (1) improving the quality of human resources for members, users, and managers to be more professional, salaam, and trustworthy so that it is more intact and tough in struggling and trying to face global challenges; (2) organize and mobilize funds so that the funds owned by the public can be used optimally inside and outside the organization for the benefit of the people at large; (3) developing job opportunities; (4) strengthening and improving the business quality and market for members' products; (5) strengthening and improving the quality of the economic and social institutions of the common people.

 

MSME Empowerment

Etymologically, the word empowered means "capable, powerful, powerful". The word power itself means "ability to do, ability to carry out activities". In the context of village development, empowerment is an effort to realize the ability and independence of the community in terms of social, national, and state life (Indrajit & Soimin, 2014). Empowerment comes from the word power which means strength or ability. Meanwhile, in terminology, empowerment can be interpreted as a process of obtaining power or strength or ability from those who have power to those who are less or less empowered.

According to Prijoko and Pranarka, as expressed by Edi Suharto, empowerment has two meanings. The first includes giving control, transferring power, or delegating authority to those who are powerless. Both provide opportunities for other parties to do and create something (Suharto, 2015). According to Edy CH Papilaya, empowerment is an effort to build community capacity by encouraging, motivating, and raising awareness of the potential they have and trying to develop that potential into concrete actions. (Zubaidi, 2013).

Community empowerment is an effort to provide power (empowerment) or strengthening (strengthening) the community. Community empowerment is also interpreted as the ability of individuals who are united with the community in building the empowerment of the community concerned so that it aims to find new alternatives in community development (Mardikanto, 2014).

 

Empowerment Dimensions Empowerment Principles of Small and Micro Enterprises Medium (MSMEs)

Based on RI Law Number 20 of 2008 Article 4 principles empowerment of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is as follows: (1) the growth of self-sufficiency, togetherness, and entrepreneurship of Micro Enterprises Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to work on their initiative; (2) the embodiment of transparent, accountable and just public policies; (3) regional potential-based and market-oriented business development by the competencies of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs); (4) increasing the competitiveness of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs); and (5) implementation of integrated planning, implementation, and control.

There should be no profit-sharing pattern and bank interest can be compared. Some are still unsure about financial institutions labeled sharia, is it really by sharia or is it just usurping sympathy for the market share that still thinks that the profit-sharing system applied by LKMS/BMT is not fairer than the conventional system.
