Kickstart Your Indonesia Incorporation Journey

When establishing a company in Indonesia, the requirements may differ depending on the type of entity, such as a local public company (Local PT) or a foreign-owned private limited company (PT PMA). However, there are key foundational requirements that apply to both.

That would be the company name and business activity. Selecting a unique company name is crucial. The name must consist of at least three words for local PT companies and can be in English or other languages for PT PMA companies. The business activity should align with the company’s objectives and be relevant to its operations.

Director

Every company in Indonesia must have at least one director who will oversee its day-to-day operations and make important business decisions. The director should possess the necessary qualifications and fulfill legal requirements.

Shareholders

A minimum of two shareholders is required for company registration. The shareholders can be individuals or legal entities, and they hold ownership shares in the company. For PT PMA companies, there may be specific requirements regarding the nationality or residency of shareholders.

Commissioner

A commissioner is responsible for overseeing the company’s activities and ensuring compliance with laws and regulations. They provide guidance and supervision to the director and shareholders.

Investment Value

In the case of PT PMA companies, there is a minimum investment requirement based on the business sector and the size of the company. The investment value must be met to proceed with company registration.

Registered Address

A registered address is required for legal purposes and correspondence. It can be a physical office space or a virtual office address, depending on the company’s needs and the local regulations.
