Based on the results of research and discussion can be concluded conclusions in the effort of community empowerment in the economic field through this capital aspect are: (1) how the provision of capital assistance does not cause dependence on the community; (2) how to solve this aspect of capital is done through the creation of a new conducive system of micro businesses, small businesses, and medium-sized businesses to gain access in financial institutions; (3) how the scheme of use or capital allocation policy is not trapped in a subsistence economy or poor economy. These three things are important to be solved together. The core of empowerment is community independence.
