his study aims to analyze the development strategies of pesantren business units in supporting students’ economic independence. This research employs a library research approach. The data were analyzed through descriptive qualitative methods, including thematic classification, synthesis of findings, and identification of research gaps. The findings show that pesantren business units play a strategic role as both institutional income sources and entrepreneurship laboratories for students. Through these business units, students gain practical experience in production, service, marketing, financial management, and the application of Islamic business ethics. The proposed development strategies include strengthening strategic management, diversifying businesses based on pesantren potential, conducting business feasibility studies, improving transparent financial governance, empowering students and alumni, expanding partnerships, and utilizing digital marketing. This study concludes that pesantren business units can become an important instrument for fostering students’ economic independence when managed professionally, sustainably, and in accordance with Islamic values.
