The businesses most in demand by the public are food and beverage businesses with a target market of students, workers in various businesses supporting educational areas, construction workers and other communities. One of the weaknesses of ultra-micro business actors is limited access, which is triggered by various conditions, including the lack of knowledge of business actors to be able to access information, access to sources of financing, innovation and technology. These limitations result in ultra-micro business actors becoming weak and uncompetitive, very vulnerable to change, their businesses do not develop, frequently change commodities and often experience bankruptcy. In fact, Jatinangor's rapid development as a higher education area should be an example of inclusive regional development, which also improves the welfare of its people.
