Company and ownership

A PT PMA is used for foreign investment through a company. Review access and foreign-ownership limits by activity, and capital requirements against the project’s current rules.

02 /

What the tax model should cover

Assess operating profit, indirect taxes, imports and international payments. Projects in Bali and other locations need a separate review of actual operations and costs.

03 /

Registration and ongoing obligations

Agree the KBLI code, notarial documents and OSS route. Assess the NIB registration number and additional permissions according to the activity’s risk category.

04 /

Banking, payments and documentation

For bank discussions we prepare an ownership chart, business description, contracts and expected cash flows. We map counterparties’ countries, currencies and sources of funds. Check the availability of the specific bank and payment product before launch; the bank makes the account-opening decision.

05 /

Personal plans and implementation

If the project includes relocation or the owner working for the company, assess the immigration route and personal tax residence separately. The launch plan should identify the sequence of steps, local providers, documents and recurring costs. A short business overview and the participants’ intended roles are enough for the initial discussion.

Before we talk

What helps us get started.

A short overview is enough. We can agree the documents and details after discussing your needs.

  • Activities, markets and expected counterparties
  • Owners, management and where decisions will be made
  • Expected income, costs and international payments
  • Premises, staffing and personal relocation needs

Common questions

Where should structure selection start?

Start with the activity, owners and geography of operations, then compare legal form, tax treatment and ongoing administration costs.

Can timing and cost be confirmed immediately?

We estimate these after reviewing the participants, activity and required local procedures, separating launch costs from recurring expenses.
