Company Acquisition – Who is it for and what are the benefits

Corporate acquisitions are one of the options that companies take to expand their business. Through acquisitions, an entrepreneur can quickly master a certain business field without having to struggle to start a business from scratch, thus saving time and money.

In Indonesia, acquisitions have become one of the most popular schemes for developing both international and local businesses. Foreign companies who are willing to do a company acquisition in Indonesia, specifically, should be aware of the changes in Indonesia’s Positive Investment List. This is the list that determines the business lines that are open to foreign investments and, more importantly, the maximum percentage of foreign shareholding.
