The study was conducted from January to April 2019 in the specific cities of Cavite, namely, Dasmarinas, Imus and Trece Martires to know the level of influence of the factors that affects their investment decision and their risk-taking behavior of micro business owners, Specifically, it aimed to: (1). identify the participants' sociodemographic profile; (2). identify the
level of influence of factors affecting investment decision; (3). identify the participants' risk- taking behavior; (4). identify if there is a significant relationship between the socio-demographic
profile of participants and the level of influence of factors affecting investment decision; (5). identify if there is a significant relationship between socio-demographic profile and risk-taking behavior of participants and (6). identify if there is a significant relationship between the level of influence of factors affecting investment decision and risk-taking behavior of participants. The study was conducted from January to April 2019 at specific cities in Cavite, namely, Dasmarinas, Trece Martires, and Imus. Frequency count, percentage and mean were used to present the socio-demographic profile of the participants. Mean and standard deviation were used to describe the level of influence of factors affecting investment decision and risk-taking behavior of the participants. Spearman correlation was used to determine significant relationship between socio-demographic profile and level of
influence of factors affecting investment decision; between socio-demographic profile and risk- taking behavior; and level of influence of factors affecting investment decision and risk-taking
behavior of participants. The result of the study shows that among the given factors, government regulations was the most influential factor that affects the investment decision of the micro business owners. They were also found out to be risk seeking. Based on the result of the study, government regulations are mandatory, so in order for the micro business owners to legally operate their business, they tend to consider government regulations in their investment decision. Also, the participants were found to be risk seeking since they are on high risk, high return preference. Meaning they are more into profit and return, they most likely to disregard their possible risk.
