PT Company Establishment in Indonesia – Who Is It For and What Are the Benefits?
If you are a foreign individual or company, we generally recommend setting up a PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing) company instead, as this allows full foreign ownership. However, there are certain business entities in Indonesia that are exclusively available to Indonesian companies, which may still require a PT structure.
If you need assistance with the legal and business process of setting up a PMA or a PT in Indonesia, feel free to reach out to us for expert guidance. We’re happy to offer a free consultation to help you get started!
Minimum Requirements for PT Company Establishment
To establish a PT Company in Indonesia, you must meet the following basic requirements:
- Shareholders: Minimum of 2 local shareholders (Indonesian citizens or legal entities).
- Director: Minimum of 1 local director.
- Commissioner: Minimum of 1 local commissioner.
Company Size and Investment/Capital Requirements
When establishing a PT, the company size will determine the amount of investment or paid-in capital. There are three categories of PT companies:
- Small Company: IDR 50,000,000 – 500,000,000.
- Medium Company: IDR 500,000,000 – 10,000,000,000.
- Large Company: Above IDR 10,000,000,000.
If you plan to employ foreigners in a PT company, the company must meet the Medium size category, which requires a paid-in capital of at least IDR 1,100,000,000.
