The data analysis method used is multiple linear regression. The results showed that the variable profitability and firm size did not have a significant effect on capital structure. Variable asset structure and sales growth had a significant effect on capital structure. Suggestions that can be given is that for future research, it is expected to increase the variables that affect capital structure such as liquidity ratios, business risks, liabilities and so on.
