Starting a Foreign-Owned Company in Indonesia

Indonesia has become an increasingly popular destination for international entrepreneurs and investors, with Bali in particular attracting people looking to establish and grow businesses across a wide range of industries.

For foreigners who want to legally operate a business in Indonesia, a PT PMA (Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing) is the standard structure used for a foreign-investment company.

A PT PMA can provide foreign shareholders with a recognised Indonesian legal entity, allowing the company to conduct approved business activities, employ staff, enter into contracts and access other business facilities in Indonesia.

​

What Is a Foreign-Owned Company?

A company with foreign share ownership is generally treated as a foreign-investment company in Indonesia and is established as a PT PMA.

The percentage of foreign ownership permitted depends on the company's chosen business activities and corresponding KBLI business classification codes. Some activities allow full foreign ownership, while others may have ownership limitations or additional licensing requirements.

If your overseas company simply needs a presence in Indonesia without conducting revenue-generating commercial activities locally, a Representative Office may be another structure worth considering.

​

Are There Restrictions on Foreign Ownership?

Yes. Foreign ownership rules vary depending on the type of business you intend to operate.

Indonesia regulates which business activities are open to foreign investment and whether additional conditions or ownership limits apply. This makes choosing the correct KBLI codes an important part of establishing your company.

Our team can help review your proposed business activities and determine the appropriate company structure and licensing requirements before the registration process begins.
