A local company or a domestic investment company is a limited liability company whose shareholders are entirely Indonesian entities (Indonesian citizens or legal entities), whereas a foreign investment company is a limited liability company with shares owned by a foreign entity (foreign citizens or legal entities).

A local company must be established by at least 2 Shareholders that may also become the company’s Management (Director or Commissioner) having at least Rp. 51.000.000, - of paid up capital (Small Scale).

Local companies may operate in any—but not all—areas of business.

The documents that are needed to establish a local company are the founders’ identity card (KTP), certificate of family registration (KK), and taxpayer number (NPWP), as well as their phone number and email. We may have to request additional documents if required.

A foreign investment company must be established by at least 2 Shareholders that may also become the company’s Management (Director or Commissioner) having at least Rp.2.500.000.000,- of paid up capital.

Foreign investment companies must also determine the area of business they intend to operate in according to the Government’s Negative Investment List that regulate the maximum amount of Foreign Capital in a company operating in certain business areas.

The documents that are needed to establish a foreign investment company are the founders’ identity card (KTP), certificate of family registration (KK), and taxpayer number (NPWP) for Indonesian citizens (WNI) and Passport for Foreign citizens, as well as their phone number and email. We may have to request additional documents if required.

The name of a local company must incorporate at least 3 words and in Bahasa Indonesia. The name of foreign investment companies must also be in 3 words, but may be in a foreign language.

The number of shares issued is the amount of paid-up capital, and you also have to determine the nominal value of each share.

Formula:

• Paid-up capital : nominal value of shares = number of company’s shares

• Number of company’s shares × percentage of shares owned = number of shares owned by shareholders

• Number of shares owned x nominal value of shares = amount that must be paid-up in the company

Example:

• If you wish to establish a limited liability company with:
  paid-up capital of Rp. 51.000.000, -
  then the authorized capital is 4 × Rp. 51.000.000, - = Rp. 204.000.000, -

• To calculate the number of shares issued, consider the following example:
  A & B establishes PT ALFA BRAVO CHARLIE (“PT ABC”)
  Authorized capital = Rp. 204.000.000, -
  Paid-up capital = Rp. 51.000.000, -
  Nominal value of one share agreed by the founders = Rp. 10.000, -
  The number of shares in the company is 5.100
  Then A & B holds 50% of the shares in PT ABC, with each holding 2.550 based on the following calculation:
  A = 51.000.000: 10.000 = 5.100 x 50% = 2.550 shares, then A must store Rp. 25.500.000, - to the company’s account
  B = 51.000.000: 10.000 = 5.100 x 50% = 2.550 shares, then B must store Rp. 25.500.000, - to the company’s account

Yes. The money transferred to the company’s account is the paid-up capital in the company. This amount may be withdrew for the operations of the company, as long as such withdrawal is represented in the company’s books.

The ‘purpose and objectives’ in a company’s deed of establishment must be determined according to the Indonesian 2017 Standard Industrial Classification KBLI 2017 issued by the government. Identify the business activities that your company intends to do, then check the KBLI 2017 based on the code, name, or explanation of the business activities. If you find that there is no industrial classification that suits your company’s business activities, select one that is most closely related. It is not possible to establish a company for “general” commerce or services, and your company’s business activities must be specifically stated in the deed of establishment.

The government intends to provide more ease of doing business by establishing the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, an integrated system that aims to accommodate applications for business license across different sectors and government authorities.

1. The TDP is replaced with the Company Identification Number (NIB)
