If you are a foreign company or individual looking to start a business in Indonesia, a PMA (Penanaman Model Asing) is the safest way to start a business in Indonesia. It will ensure the investor has full control over the direction of the company. There are no restrictions where the company can operate and it reduces the risk in finding a suitable local partner.
Being a foreign owned company the investment value is significantly higher than that of a PT. The investor should invest above USD 1 million / 10 Billion IDR as their investment plan, with a paid-up capital above USD 1 million / 10 Billion IDR. The Investment plan can either be cash or fixed assets, such as machinery. The paid-up capital does not need to be paid until after the company is established.
Please note that these numbers may seem daunting for startup businesses; however, for more clarification, please feel free to ask the LetsMoveIndonesia team.
