Abstract

The goal of this research is to shed light on the relationship between financial hardship and variables like liquidity, business size, and leverage. Multiple regression analysis was performed as part of the study’s quantitative approach. The study was conducted on 22 mining companies with a research period of 2017-2019 and analyzed using SPSS version 23 software. The results showed that the liquidity variable proxied by current assets and the leverage variable proxied by the debt to equity ratio (DER) are known to have no effect on financial distress. While the size of the company has an effect on financial distress. The suggestions that can be given by the author are 1) so that investors should consider the factors that influence financial distress in making decisions, so that the decisions taken can be right in investing their funds and are able to avoid the risk of financial difficulties and 2) so that the management should pay attention to the condition again. companies, especially companies with potential financial difficulties, so that they can be used as a basis for taking corrective actions as soon as possible if they see indications that the company is experiencing financial distress.
