Quick Guide to Company Registration Indonesia
Legal Entity Category in Indonesia
If you are an entrepreneur or looking to make a business in Indonesia, then you will be pleased to know that the Indonesian market is a burgeoning place for both foreign owned companies, as well as local companies.
There are multiple options for making a limited liability company, which include: Representative office for foreign investors looking to do market research without risk of investment, a foreign owned company, known as a PMA which allows foreign investors to legally become foreign shareholders; and finally a local company, known as a PT which is made up of local shareholders.
Each Indonesian company entity has to report to the local tax office annually and report business activities annually.
Foreign Owned Companies in Indonesia
There are 2 types of foreign ownership companies in Indonesia as follows:
PMA: The PMA is a foreign investment company which consists of foreign investors. There must be a minimum of 2 shareholders, a company name and minimum investment and paid up capital is mandatory. Please note that not all foreign companies can register as a PMA as some business activities may only be carried out by a local company. To find out which business licences are unavailable for foreign direct investment, ensure you speak with our legal team.
Representative Office: This business entity has an extremely easy registration process, whereby primarily you just need to provide a company name, advise of foreign investors, as well as provide the business field and office location. It allows foreign companies to have a foreign employee/s without the risk of financial investment. This entity does not allow any income to be generated.
