For international investors and foreign companies looking to establish a direct presence in Indonesia, setting up a PT PMA (a limited liability company for foreign direct investment) is the most common and commercially viable route — and get it registered correctly so they can legally operate, hire, contract, and hold licenses.
From the outset, critical decisions need to be made – on business classification, foreign ownership eligibility under the applicable investment positive list, minimum capital requirements, and the right corporate structure to support your commercial objectives both today and as your business grows. At Clavis, we guide international investors and companies through the entire PT PMA establishment process, including helping you or represent you before the Notary, applying business licensing via the OSS system, and post-establishment compliance. Where your business involves restricted or conditional sectors, we provide strategic guidance on structuring arrangement that are compliant, commercially sound and built to withstand regulatory scrutiny.
Beyond establishment, we remain alongside our clients as their Indonesian operations evolve – advising on capital increase, share transfer, changes in business plan, and any structural adjustment required as the business grows.
