INTRODUCTION
Women and business are two different words, the word woman is very feminine, while the word business tends to be more masculine. It is undeniable that problems around gender also occur in the business world, this is reflected in the assumption that the business world is the world of men. Even though in reality, the international community has guaranteed equal rights between men and women as part of human rights, in reality, women still continue to face gaps in society both legally and de facto. These gaps arise as a result of stereotyped perceptions of the roles of men and women or gender. Women often face limited access to education, property ownership, finance, (Iskamto, Ghazali, and Aftanorhan 2019). The research that has been done shows that entrepreneurial practices focus on women, especially housewives. Sugiyani, Munandar, and Harsiti (2017) say that currently there is a phenomenon that the income of men as heads of households is not sufficient for family needs. This is due to the difficult economy and limited job opportunities. Therefore, the government has begun to pay attention to the potential of housewives in large numbers that can be used to support the family economy. Alfons, Goni, and Pongoh (2017) say that it turns out that working housewives can help meet the family's economic needs, which contributes to family income reaching 40 ± 60% of the entire family income. Yilmaz and Ari (2018) explain that although a woman is often seen as the one who does the housework, takes care of the children, and cooks, the expectations of women increase along with the changing world order. It was expected that a woman should contribute to the economy. Safitri and Hatammimi (2014) say that many women play an important role in the business world, especially in the field of entrepreneurship. The development of entrepreneurs managed by women is now able to expand new employment opportunities and support the country's economy Safitri and Hatammimi (2014) The development of entrepreneurs managed by women is now able to expand new employment opportunities and support the country's economy Safitri and Hatammimi (2014) say that many women play an important role in the business world, especially in the field of entrepreneurship. The development of entrepreneurs managed by women is now able to expand new employment opportunities and support the country's economy (Ahmad et al. 2018;Iskamto, Ghazali, and Afthanorhan 2020).
Based on the results of this research observation, in Pekanbaru City in particular, more and more small and medium-scale female entrepreneurs are emerging and daring to start businesses, especially food businesses, snacks, even home-based cafes, sewing businesses until they can eventually become home-based convection. Along with the business journey they have built, whose initial intention was only to increase and improve their economy, but if these women business actors want to be serious in pursuing their business, of course, improving the quality of their human resources is very much needed. (Ahmad et al. 2018;Iskamto et al. 2021;Muryani et al. 2018). Human Resources in a business are the spearhead in achieving the success of a business, besides workers, of course, business owners must also have appropriate competencies and in accordance with their respective business fields. Owners or female business actors must have good knowledge, skills, and abilities in supporting their performance. However, from various previous empirical studies that have been carried out by other researchers, the authors find that not many studies have been conducted specifically regarding knowledge, skills, and abilities and their influence on women's business performance in Pekanbaru City.

LITERATURE REVIW
Competence or ability is a trait (innate or learned) that allows someone to do something mentally or physically (Gibson et.al, 2011:89). According to Ruky (2011), competence is a basic characteristic of a person (individual) that influences the way of thinking and acting, making generalizations to all situations faced and lasting long enough in humans. Competence is one aspect of human resources that is very influential on business performance. Zainal et al., (2010:298) show that the definition of competence is generally defined as skills, abilities, abilities. In line with this opinion, Muizu and Effendi (2015:224) explain that competence is an aspect of a person's ability which includes knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, Muizu and Effendi (2015:224) reveal that there are several factors that can affect a person's competence skills, namely: beliefs and values, skills, experience, personality characteristics, motivation, emotional issues, intellectual abilities, and organizational culture of competence possessed by a person. strongly influenced by educational background, environment and one's adaptability in facing the challenges of work. There are 3 (three) characteristics that make up competence according to Moeheriono (2012), namely: Knowledge, Skills and Ability

Knowledge Competence
Knowledge competence is the ability of an employee in the form of the ability to recognize, understand, appreciate and understand a job. Armstrong (2014) states that knowledge management is a process for those who have the necessary knowledge in order to improve organizational effectiveness. According to Fadhil (2016), the importance of knowledge in improving human resources is very necessary considering that knowledge contributes. McInerney and Koening (2011) suggest that there are three types of knowledge, namely explicit knowledge which is information or knowledge that appears as something tangible (real), implicit knowledge, which is information or knowledge that is not displayed in real terms but can actually be displayed visually. tangible, Tacit knowledge is information or knowledge that is very, very difficult to display concretely. Based on the definition of knowledge, according to Ardiana et al., (2010) it is known that knowledge indicators in this case include business management knowledge, product or service knowledge, consumer knowledge, promotions and marketing strategies.

Competency Skills (skills)
Skill is a person's ability to perform an activity or job. A skilled person will show a level of independence in work, reliable in completing work and professional in the field occupied, according to the training produced from fundamental work with quality requirements (Fadhil, 2016). Meanwhile, according to Murbijanto (2013) explains that skill is the ability to do certain physical or mental tasks. Mental competence or cognitive skills include analytical and conceptual thinking. The basic types of skills identified by Setiawan (2015:64) are technical skills which are specific competencies to carry out tasks or the ability to use techniques, tools, procedures and knowledge of the specialized field correctly and precisely in carrying out his job; administrative skills are skills to manage, organize and record information about the implementation and the results achieved as well as various obstacles experienced; human relations skills are skills in understanding and motivating others, as individuals or in groups(alfiyah 2019; Iskamto et al. 2020). This type of skill is related to the ability to build good relationships, understand other people, and motivate; the ability to coordinate and integrate all organizational interests and activities and skills to see the overall organizational picture by integrating and coordinating a large number of activities that constitute conceptual skills; Diagnostic skills relate to the ability to analyze certain conditions and situations through confusing data, observations, and facts. According to Ardiana et al., (2010) stated that the measure of program success from a skill point of view can be seen from the indicators of production, communication, cooperation and organization skills, supervision, finance, administration and accounting.

Competence Ability (ability)
Robbins and Judge (2015) state that ability refers to an individual's capacity to do various tasks in a job, so individual work abilities are needed in doing a job. A person's abilities will make him different from others who have average or ordinary abilities. According to Kristen (2013) work ability is a condition that exists in workers who are truly efficient and successful in working according to their field of work. Ability is a condition in which a person is ready to face all situations by working and taking risks. Indicators of work ability according to Adiana et al. (2010) is the ability to manage business, make decisions, lead, control, innovate, situations and changes in the business environment.

Business Performance
Performance is the result of work that has a strong relationship with strategic goals, satisfaction, consumers, and contributes to the economy so that someone tries to do work and the results achieved from the work (Sutiyono, 2010:23). So that it can be said, business performance is a way of doing a job and the results achieved from that work are the goals of the business. Performance has a causal relationship with competence (competency or ability). Performance is a function of competence, attitude, and action. Business performance measurement is considered very important because it is to compare the company with other similar companies to find out whether the performance of a business has improved or decreased.
According to Zainal et al. (2010:270) An organization is designed to improve its business performance in a highly competitive environment by questioning business planning procedures. The following is the focus of all employees on 6 main values, namely commitment to a safe and healthy environment, commitment to customer satisfaction, respect for individuals, promotion of cooperation, commitment to continuity of commitment, awards and prizes for achievement. In measuring the performance of a business, the right indicators are needed. Zaenal (2012:45) reveals that in measuring the performance of an MSME can use several indicators, namely profit growth, growth in the number of customers, growth in sales, growth in total assets.

Woman Entrepreneur
According to (Zimmerer and Scarborough, 2008:27), despite years of legislative struggle, women still experience discrimination in the workplace. Nonetheless, small businesses have been pioneers in offering economic opportunities both entrepreneurship and employment. It is said that "Entrepreneurship has become as unisex as jeans, where women can develop their dreams and greatest hopes". More and more women are realizing that becoming an entrepreneur is the best way to break through the male dominance that hinders career advancement over time to the top of the organization through their own businesses. In fact, women open 2.4 times more businesses than men. Although businesses opened by women tend to be smaller than those opened by men, the impact is by no means small. Women-owned companies employ more than 15.5 million employees or 35 percent more than all Fortune 500 employees worldwide. Women own 36 percent of all businesses. Although their businesses tend to grow more slowly than male-owned firms, female business owners have a higher viability than the entire business. Although 72 percent of women-owned businesses are concentrated in retail and services, women entrepreneurs thrive in industries previously dominated by men, such as manufacturing, construction, transportation and agriculture. The involvement of women entrepreneurs in Indonesia's economic activities has existed since time immemorial, women have been involved in the world of trade for a long time, for example women who have batik businesses such as batik mangroves in Surabaya can help the family economy, even as the backbone of the family economy from the batik business. which they manage. At first women worked only to help the family's economy, but over time the uncertain economic conditions required women to work, this situation encouraged women to get into business. Women choose to work because of the need, willingness and available job opportunities and women have these opportunities.

Validity test
The validity test was carried out by comparing the calculated r value with the r table at a significance level of 5%. If r count > r table then the measuring instrument used is declared valid and vice versa. The r table value can be obtained with the equation N -2 = 97-2 = 95 so that the r table value is 0.199, and the calculated r value is obtained using the Corrected Item-Total Correlation method. the lowest correlation is 0.303, so all the items tested in this study are valid because they have an r table > 0.199, so they can be used for the next stage of analysis.

Reliability Test
From the results of reliability testing, it is known that the reliability value of all variables in this study is 0.60. This means that the measuring instrument used in this study is reliable or reliable (trustworthy). Thus, it can be concluded that the items for the six variables are good and worthy of further research. From data processing, it is known that the two independent variables in this study have VIF < 10, so it can be said that there are no symptoms of multicollinearity between the independent variables in this study. This means that the independent variables studied are not interconnected so that they are appropriate to be used as independent variables in the model.

Heteroscedasticity Test
