In Indonesia, the licensing system has been updated with the implementation of the Omnibus Law. Businesses are categorized into four risk levels based on the PMA company classification. Licensing requirements vary accordingly, with three main types:

  • Business Identification Number (NIB)
  • Low-risk businesses needing only an NIB

  • Standard Certification
  • Standard Certification is necessary for medium-low and medium-high-risk businesses
  • Licenses/Permits

High-risk businesses require licenses/permits
Additionally, basic requirements, including business location, must be met. Many licensing processes are facilitated through the Online Single Submission (OSS) platform managed by the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM).
