This study investigates the factors influencing financial distress in plantation sub-sector companies in Indonesia. The data collection method involves a literature study and documentation, while the data analysis techniques encompass classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroscedasticity), multiple linear regression analysis, and hypothesis testing (partial, simultaneous, and coefficient of determination). The findings reveal that leverage, liquidity, and profitability both simultaneously and partially have a positive and significant effect on financial distress. These results offer valuable insights into the factors that affect financial distress in the plantation sub-sector, providing a clearer understanding for investors and company management. This study emphasizes the importance of managing leverage, liquidity, and profitability effectively to avoid financial distress, which could disrupt the operational continuity of companies. Additionally, the study serves as a reference for making informed decisions related to financial stability and strategic planning, assisting in mitigating the risks associated with financial distress. By managing these financial factors, companies can improve their resilience and sustainability in the face of challenges, contributing to long-term business success. Furthermore, understanding the role of financial management in preventing financial distress is essential for plantation companies to maintain stable growth. As companies face various financial pressures, the study highlights how proactive financial strategies can help ensure sustained performance and profitability, ultimately supporting their competitive advantage in the industry.
