The government made a policy where MSME actors were expected to have complete and legal licensing documents. Of the 10 MSME actors listed by the UMKM coordinator in Sumurmati Village, all of them have not been registered and have a Business Identification Number (NIB). Therefore, with the KKN-T MBKM Group 62 UPN "Veteran" East Java in Sumurmati Village, as a form of service to the community, KKN-T MBKM Group 62 created a program where these students will help MSME actors in Sumurmati Village to have a Business Identification Number (NIB) by conducting socialization and also helping these MSME actors to register their businesses through Online Single Submission (OSS). By having complete and legal permits, MSME actors can be protected by law so as to prevent them from legal disputes that can be detrimental to their business, facilitate business development, provide opportunities for them to obtain business assistance or training from the government, and make it easier to obtain venture capital because their businesses already have complete and legal permits.

MSMEs play a very important role for the progress of the Indonesian economy. With the involvement of MSMEs as a driver of improving the economy in Indonesia, it is certainly hoped that MSMEs can continue to develop in the long term. In the current era, MSME actors are expected to be able to make the best use of technology. One of them is the world of digital marketing, because digital marketing has an extraordinary influence so that MSMEs can continue to develop in the long term.

Therefore, by holding this counseling, it is hoped that MSME actors can develop more quickly by expanding the market.

Shallots are a spice plant that is very easy to find in various regions, especially in Nganjuk Regency. Red onion is a commodity with a short shelf life. The tubers rot easily due to their high water content. During the main harvest, red onion production is abundant, the selling price drops, causing losses to farmers. To overcome this, it is necessary to manage red onions, including making fried shallots because fried shallots are often used by the community as a cooking spice or as a complement to the daily food menu. This phenomenon is utilized by Puspita Makmur managers to produce preparations from shallots. The KKN-T 67 Musir Kidul group helps Puspita Makmur MSMEs to attract public interest so that they can reach all groups by innovating product diversification. The product made is in the form of making Fried Shallot products.
