How do I establish a company in Indonesia?
1. PRINCIPLE LICENSE
₋ First, you have to issue Principle License (Izin Prinsip or IP) at BKPM One-Stop Service-Center or OSS-C (Pusat Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu or PTSP Pusat).
₋ When you want to invest in Indonesia, first you have to check whether your business is open for FDI in Indonesia in accordance to the Indonesia Investment Guidance (Daftar Negatif Investasi or DNI) under the Presidential Decree No. 44 of 2016 that stipulates the sectors which are closed and open with conditions to investment. If the business sector is not listed in the DNI, the business will be considered open and allowed for up to 100% foreign ownership. If the business sector is open or open with a condition, the foreign investor will be able to apply for Principle License (IP), to begin the investment process, subject to the condition stated in Indonesia Investment Guidance (DNI).
₋ All applications for Principle License (IP) will be done through the BKPM-Online Service Platform or Electronic Investment Information & License Service (SPIPISE) [http://online-spipise.bkpm.go.id]. All investors will always be able to approach the BKPM office for advice and assistance in the application process.
₋ Once the Principle License (IP) is approved by BKPM OSS-C, the investor will be able to set up its business entity by engaging any public notary office to draft the establishment of an FDI Company (PT.PMA), which is called Company Deed of Establishment. This draft will need to be ratified by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia to be legalized and officially posted in the state gazette.

₋ After the establishment of the legal entity, the public notary will register the new PT. PMA to the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia. Once registered, the establishment of the new PT. PMA will be published in the state gazette.
₋ The ratification of legal entity by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia will serve as the basis of the establishment of PT. PMA. From this point, the PT. PMA will be able to start setting-up the company infrastructure and related operational licenses.
