Indonesia PT Formation.
We set up a PT PMA, the limited liability company Indonesia uses for foreign-owned businesses, from the notarial deed through to the business identification number (NIB) on the OSS-RBA system. Licensing is risk-based under Government Regulation 28 of 2025, so the business classification (KBLI) you choose determines the permits, ownership limits and investment rules that apply.
Typically 3–6 weeks to NIB once apostilled documents and the power of attorney are ready. Medium- and high-risk activities need further licences that can add time.

KBLI and ownership check
We map your activities to KBLI codes and check foreign ownership limits, minimum investment and paid-up capital rules issued by the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming (BKPM).

Name and notarial deed
We reserve the company name on AHU Online and arrange for the deed of establishment to be signed before an Indonesian notary, in person or under a power of attorney.

Ministry of Law approval
The notary submits the deed to the Ministry of Law, whose approval decree gives the PT legal-entity status. The company's tax ID (NPWP) is then registered.

NIB on OSS-RBA
We register the PT on OSS-RBA to obtain its NIB and, depending on the risk level of the activity, the standard certificate or licence needed before operations begin.

Capital and post-setup
We support the bank account and capital injection, then set up quarterly investment activity reports (LKPM), tax registrations and expatriate work permits.
