This business license is one of the most common in Indonesia. While the founders of a Local PT must typically be Indonesian citizens, there are certain circumstances where foreign investors may also establish a Local company in the country.
Local PT Company
What Are The Benefits Of a Local PT Company For Foreigners?
- No Restrictions on Business Fields:
Certain business sectors in Indonesia are entirely or partially closed to foreign investors. However, a local PT company is exempt from these regulations, making it a viable solution for operating in restricted sectors. - Lower Incorporation Costs:
Compared to a PT PMA (foreign investment company), the paid-up capital for a local PT company is significantly lower. It typically ranges from IDR 50 million to over IDR 10 billion depending on the company’s size.

Main Steps of the Process:
- Company Name Check: Verify the availability of the company name on the Ministry of Law and Human Rights website.
- Preparation of the Articles of Association: Draft the Articles of Association with the assistance of a notary.
- The signing of the Articles of Association: Finalize and sign the Articles of Association at the notary’s office.
- Obtain Core Company Documents: Receive the approved Articles of Association along with related documents, such as ministry approval (SK), company profile, and NPWP (Tax Identification Number) from the tax office.
- Obtain OSS System Documents: Acquire key documents from the OSS system, including the NIB (Business Registration Number), SPPL (Environmental Management Statement), and PKKPR/KKPR (Spatial Suitability Recommendation).
- Additional Documentation: Depending on the business risk level (standard, medium, or high), additional permits or documentation may be required.
