Informality in Peruvian microenterprises is caused by a variety of reasons that encompass both structural barriers and socioeconomic elements. One of the main obstacles is the high cost and intricate formalization process, which prevents small entrepreneurs from registering legally. Likewise, the lack of adequate infrastructure and financing perpetuates an atmosphere where the only viable alternative is to operate informally. This phenomenon is intensified by the State's poor ability to monitor and control economic activities in rural areas, creating a whirlwind of exclusion and low efficiency. The objective of the study was to determine that strategies for formalization positively influence the performance of rural microenterprises in Peru. Data were collected from the three dimensions analyzed: business informality including administrative, labor, and management aspects and business performance, which encompassed internal processes, system logic, system openness, and human links. The research adopted a quasi-experimental approach by dividing the population into two teams: the research team with 192 participants and the control team with another 192. Data collection was carried out on two occasions, with an interval of six months at the beginning of the project and then implementing strategies to raise awareness about the concepts and impacts of informality in the business market. The results show that strategies for formalization positively influence the performance of rural microenterprises in Peru.
