This situation made us moved to help people who want to open a business but have limited capital or business funds and help the local community there to provide assistance or business training to minimize the losses that will arise later by establishing Baitul Tanwil Muhammadiyah (BTM) which is certainly based on sharia and not apply the usury system. This paper aims to describe the activities of community service programs undertaken in order to improve the economic growth of the people of Pasar Rumput South Jakarta.
