The data collection technique in this study was using a questionnaire. Data analysis using multiple regression model with the help of SPSS analysis. The sampling method for this study was guided by the determination of the number of samples as many as 50 MSME owners. The instrument testing technique in this research is validity and reliability test, regression test, hypothesis test in the form of t test, F test and determination test. The results showed that partially, scale entrepreneurs (X 1 )and the number of entrepreneurs (X 2 ) positive and significant effect on the existence of the SMEs especially true in times of pandemic.Therefore, parties who have an interest in increasing micro-enterprises, especially the Department of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives in the City of Yogyakarta, increase the scale of entrepreneurship and duration of entrepreneurship so that MSMEs can maintain their existence during Pandemic.


Figure 1 Economic Growth in a Pandemic
At the end of 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) on December 31, 2019 declared that the Covid-19 pandemic had hit the whole world. The pandemic affects aspects of the world economy and in Indonesia. Implementation of the isolation and social distance policy (Ashraf, 2020) and staying at home (Donthu & Gustafsson, 2020) which world leaders had to take to control the spread of this virus . The impact of the pandemic has also hit the MSME sector. Economic growth in 2020 during the pandemic experienced several declines from various sectors that had previously experienced an increase. In the second quarter of 2020, the information and communication sector can skyrocket. From 9.8% in the first quarter of 2020 to 10.88% in the next quarter. The agricultural sector is also still growing positively, from 0.02% in the first quarter of 2020 to 2.19% in the second quarter of 2020. However, according to the data center at the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the sales of MSME products have decreased by 57%.
Although other sectors are declining, there is a chance for positive growth in the future. Economic growth after 2020 to 2021 has progressed even though it is only 5% It is hoped that the MSME sector can also increase despite a decrease in income, MSMEs are still an alternative to the movement of the people's economy. This is due to the nature of MSMEs themselves which are flexible and easy to innovate both in business and applying appropriate technology, and simple bureaucracy. Other reasons why SMEs can survive is because SMEs produce products / services become a necessity masayararakat, utilizing local resources (local labor and local raw materials) images can be seen in figure 2 Although the impact of Covid-19 is affecting the hospitality, retail and service industries, 30% of MSMEs will be optimistic to survive in difficult times, even though the crisis disrupts resources for MSMEs but they will find creative approaches to deploy resources (Thorgren & Williams, 2020). Entrepreneurial scale is the ability to manage a business by taking into account the amount of assets, number of employees, and more and more income. Entrepreneurial duration describes how long the company has been operating. The longer the entrepreneur runs, the more positive or negative the development of the company leads to. The existence of MSMEs is the existence of an entrepreneur to be able to survive and continue to exist in the economy. Wirausahaan the old entrepreneurial experience in a variety of conditions that occur in the business world and scale entrepreneurs whether .Penelitian affect the existence of SMEs will be done on SMEs as for other industries is the grocery store, souvenir shops, clothing stores, photograph copy, restaurant.

Literature Review MSME
Based on the definition of MSMEs according to Law no. 20 of 2008, entrepreneurs owned by individuals and entrepreneurial entities will be classified based on certain criteria to determine the increase in entrepreneurial development and related to MSMEs, focusing more on producing products based on the type of entrepreneur.
According to Law no. 20 of 2008 Chapter IV Article 6 regarding the criteria for MSMEs, namely: 1) Micro Entrepreneurs who have a maximum net worth of IDR 50,000,000.00 (fifty million rupiahs) or annual sales proceeds of a maximum of IDR 300,000,000.00 (three hundred million rupiahs).
2) Small Entrepreneur with a net worth of more than Rp. 50,000,000.00 (fifty million rupiah) to Rp. 500,000,000.00 (five hundred million rupiah) or annual sales proceeds of more than Rp. 300,000,000.00 (three hundred million rupiah) up to Rp.2,500,000,000.00 (two billion five hundred million rupiah).
3) Medium Entrepreneurs who have a net worth of more than Rp. 500,000,000.00 (five hundred million rupiah) to Rp. 10,000,000.00 (ten billion rupiah) or annual sales proceeds of more than Rp. 2,500,000,000.00 (two billion rupiah) five hundred million rupiahs) to Rp.50,000,000,000.00 (fifty billion rupiahs).
The criteria for micro, small and medium enterprises are based on development, apart from the law, from the point of view of development Rahmana (2008) in Sudaryanto (2011) groups MSMEs in several criteria, namely: 1) Livelihood Activities, are small and medium entrepreneurs who are used as job opportunities to earn a living, which is more commonly known as the informal sector.

Entrepreneurial Scale
The Entrepreneurial Scale according to Holmes and Nicholls (1988) is the entrepreneurial ability in managing the company by taking into account the amount of assets, number of employees, and income earned. Entrepreneurial scale is a situation where an entrepreneur has a large or small entrepreneur with the number of employees, total income, total assets, which continue to increase in number of owners (Budiyanto, 2014). By definition, the operational scale of Entrepreneurship is the ability of an Entrepreneur to manage an Entrepreneur by taking into account the amount of assets, number, employees and income earned during one period. Indicators: 1) Number of employees. 2) Total Income. 3) Amount of assets H 1 : It is suspected that the scale of entrepreneurship has a significant effect on the existence of MSMEs during the pandemic

Old Entrepreneur
Entrepreneurial duration describes how long the company has been operating. The longer the entrepreneurship in the company runs, the more entrepreneurial developments that lead to positive or negative. The length of entrepreneurship is the age or length of the company in carrying out its entrepreneurship (Budiyanto, 2014). By definition, the old operation of an entrepreneur is to describe how long the company has been operating. Indicators: 1) The duration of entrepreneurship is based on the year the company was founded until this research was conducted. 2) Development of the company. 3) Entrepreneurial experience in company H 2 : It is suspected that the duration of entrepreneurship has a significant effect on the existence of MSMEs during the pandemic Existence during the Covid-19 pandemic.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, MSMEs also played a vital role as the backbone and buffer in helping Indonesia overcome various economic problems. threatens the existence of many innovative startups (Kuckertz et al., 2020) to the point of causing a global financial crisis (Shehzad et al., 2020). In the current difficult situation, many MSMEs are able to survive and even increase their sales because they are connected to the digital ecosystem, and some others have difficulty in keeping their business consistent because it is difficult to adapt to the development of science and technology .

Research Method
This study uses quantitative research with a population survey method is the owner of MSME Entrepreneurs, while our sample takes 50 MSME owners in Yogyakarta. This study uses primary data obtained directly from the results of questionnaires distributed to MSME owners/managers and uses several secondary literature sources. Data collection by questionnaire. Questionnaires can be in the form of closed or open questions/statements, can be given to respondents directly or sent online via wa or email.
The dependent variable is a variable that is influenced by the response to changes in other variables. The dependent variable in this study is the existence of SMEs. Independent variables are variables that result in changes to the dependent variable. In this study, the independent variables used were entrepreneurial scale, length of entrepreneurship. Methods of Data Analysis using quantitative analysis using regression and hypothesis testing. The instrument was tested for validity and reliability. Hypothesis testing uses t test to determine the significance of each coefficient, F test to see how the influence of all independent variables together on related variables and multiple regression to predict the dependent variable based on two or more independent variables in a linear equation.

Based on table 7 above, it is known that the result of the Adjusted R square value is 0.722, this means that the effect of the variables X 1 , X 2 , simultaneously on the Y variable is 72.2%. Changes in Y, namely the existence of SMEs during the pandemic, can be explained by the two independent variables, namely the entrepreneurial scale, the age of the entrepreneur. While the remaining 27.8% is influenced by other variables outside the study.

3.21The Effect of Business Scale on the Existence of MSMEs during the pandemic
The business scale has a positive coefficient value of 0.628 and a significance value of 0.023. The results of the regression test show that the business scale has an effect on the existence of MSMEs. The scale of entrepreneurship according to Holmes and Nicholls (1988) is defined as the ability of entrepreneurs to manage the company by taking into account the amount of assets, number of employees, and income earned during an accounting period. The scale of entrepreneurship is one indication of the development of a company where a large one will have an impact on the employees involved in it will also increase. The greater the number of employees, the higher the level of difficulty faced by the company, so that the need for information increases because of the increasing difficulty of a company, it will increase experience and be able to see the existence of MSMEs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The influence of old entrepreneurship on the existence of MSMEs during the pandemic
The duration of entrepreneurship is the length of time the company is running which results in the development of the company that leads to positive or negative. The length of entrepreneurship has a positive coefficient value of 0.963 and a significance value of 0.003. The results of the regression test show that the duration of entrepreneurship has a positive and significant effect on the existence of MSMEs during the pandemic. Determination of entrepreneurial development to be directed to positive developments must be with careful consideration of sufficient entrepreneurial experience so that the company has a great opportunity to develop more rapidly.
