WHY INVEST IN SEMARANG?

Without any doubts Semarang is the “next big thing” in Indonesia but what are the reasons behind?

Gateway to Java

The strategic location of a city of Semarang enables foreign investors to reach any destination within the island conveniently. Situated on the north coast of Central Java, Semarang operates both international airport and port and is further connected with all major cities in Java.

Overall, there is no better choice in case you are interested in export and import businesses.l enterprises, interested in entering or expanding to the Indonesian market.

Half Price of Jakarta

Reducing expenses can cost you a great effort. Instead of looking for departments where to cut, move your business to Semarang where labour and land costs do not reach more than a half price of Jakarta.

While residing in Central Java’s capital, you will still have the perfect access to the qualified labour thanks to several prestigious universities situated in the area.

Government Support

The Indonesian government fully supports the development of Semarang and Central Java. Attracting foreign investors and creating new job positions helps the country to fight its alarming high unemployment rate.

Therefore, the Indonesian government does not only invest in the industrial park in Semarang but also proactively sets cooperation with foreign countries like Singapore.

When I was looking for a reliable partner who could help with company registration, payroll, taxes and working permit in Indonesia, Cekindo’s domain knowledge and clear communication astonished. Firstly, we decided to pursue cooperation with Cekindo in terms of company registration, but they also assisted me in obtaining the necessary working permits and visas (KITAS), and we use their payroll and tax reporting services until now.

Cekindo assisted us with a selection of our local distributor in Indonesia and organised several meeting in Jakarta. Their assistance enabled us to meet our potential local partners and choose the best distributor conveniently. The decision to cooperate with Cekindo was based on a recommendation from our prominent partner in Bali and we cannot be more grateful. Cekindo’s systematic work, active communication, thoroughness and professionalism was exceptional.

Cekindo initially helped us with setting up our business structure in Indonesia and getting us all due licenses and approvals. Currently, Cekindo is associated with us as our business partner in Indonesia by providing a face to our name and handling various business activities on our behalf. Without their help, we would be lost in keeping up with regulatory requirements and being a compliant company in Indonesia.
