Limited liability company with 100% local/domestic direct investment What kind of license does a PMA company need to get? 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). What duties do investors have when they own shares in a company that has been liquidated? Shareholders must appoint a liquidator during the shareholders’ meeting approving liquidation. If no liquidator is appointed, the Board of Directors assumes the role. Creditors can submit claims within two years of the liquidation announcement, provided there are proceeds available. If proceeds have been distributed, shareholders must return them proportionally to settle creditor claims. Whereas employee termination packages vary based on employee status, service years, and reason for liquidation. How do investors choose a holding jurisdiction for a PMA firm in Indonesia? Investors considering investments in Indonesia should assess existing International Investment Agreements between Indonesia and other countries. Having a business presence in countries with such agreements may offer incentives like stronger investment protection and higher foreign shareholding in Indonesia. Get in touch with us.
