Abstract

Financial literacy is the ability of an individual to obtain financial information and take effective actions or decisions to manage any financial matters. The owners of SMEs should &manage their financial business effectively to avoid financial problems. In 2013, the financial services authority (OJK) has conducted a financial survey and the result indicated that only 21.8% of people understand finance and in 2016, the percentage has increased from about 8% to 29.66%. &Low level of financial literacy gives bad effect on financial decisions, including less saving, &opting for more leverage, and involved in unprofitable investments. This paper aims to analyze the influence of parents’ motivation and parents’ experience on financial literacy. A questionnaire survey has been distributed among SME owners in Sumatera, Indonesia. &Based on a sample of 60 respondents, the result shows that parents’ motivation does affect financial literacy. Nevertheless, financial experience by the parents does not affect financial literacy.
