Setting up a company in Bali can be an exciting step for foreign entrepreneurs looking to tap into Indonesia’s growing market. However, understanding the legal framework is crucial to ensure compliance with local regulations. Here’s a comprehensive guide on setting up a foreign-owned company (PT PMA) in Bali and how it differs from a local PT company.
Understanding Business Entities in Indonesia
When registering a company in Indonesia, you’ll generally encounter two main business structures:
Local PT (Perseroan Terbatas) – A company structure available only to Indonesian citizens.
PT PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing) – A foreign-owned company that allows overseas investors to conduct business in Indonesia legally.
For foreign entrepreneurs, setting up a PT PMA is the best option as it allows full legal ownership under certain business classifications.
