- Share:
A PT Local, also known as Local Investment Company (PMDN), is a business entity in Indonesia reserved only for Indonesian nationals. The company is entirely Indonesian-owned and -operated, thus maintaining full local control in accordance with Indonesian investment laws.Â
PT Registration is ideal for Indonesian entrepreneurs wanting to formalise their business legally. The structure protects personal assets from business liabilities, offering limited liability.
PT (Local)
- 100% Indonesian ownership
- Starting from IDR 50 million (~USD 3,300)
- Fewer regulatory hurdles
- Broader access to sectors
PT PMA (Foreign)
- Minimum 1% foreign ownership
- IDR 10 billion (~USD 650,000)
- Stricter oversight
- Limited access to certain sectors
What are the main benefits of setting up a PT in Indonesia?
Setting up a PT company in Indonesia provides many advantages for both domestic and international business owners. The main benefits are:
- The limited liability feature of a PT means a shareholder's personal assets are protected from business debts. Effective risk management depends on the separation of personal and business assets.
- To register a PT demonstrates adherence to local regulations, fostering trust with local stakeholders. This commitment should ease business operations in Indonesia's expansive market.
- A PT can access various financing avenues, including bank loans and investments. This ability to raise capital is essential for business expansion.
