Register your company in Indonesia.

Opening a company in Indonesia as a foreigner involves several steps and considerations. The process can vary based on the type of company you want to establish and your specific business goals. ATA Outsourcing, part of the ATA Services Group, will help you go through the entire process. Here’s a general outline of the steps you would need to take:

• Choose the type of company - decide on the legal entity most suitable for your business needs, such as a PT PMA (Foreign-Owned Limited Liability Company) or a Representative Office, each with different requirements and restrictions.

• Determine your business activities and licenses - identify the nature of the intended business activities and any licenses or permits required to operate them.

• Confirm minimum capital requirements - certain activities may have minimum capital or investment requirements based on Indonesian laws and regulations.

• Prepare legal documentation and incorporation - a notary prepares the company deed and articles of association, which are then submitted for approval and legalization.

• Review market-access restrictions - some business sectors have restrictions on foreign ownership, and certain activities may require special permission.

• Draft and notarize a company charter, detailing the company’s structure, objectives and shareholder rights.

• Meet shareholder requirements - a minimum of two shareholders, individuals or corporate entities, is required.

• Secure a registered office address in Indonesia where official documents can be sent and received.
