Incorporating in Indonesia
Incorporating in Indonesia is challenging, mainly due to the country's reputation for bureaucracy and corruption. Some points to consider when incorporating in Indonesia include:
1.
When incorporating in Indonesia, the standard term for a business licence is 30 years.
2.
Of the four different corporate entities available to foreign investors incorporating in Indonesia, only the Joint Venture Company and Nominee Trading Company require an Indonesian citizen to act as shareholder. However, 15 years after Indonesia incorporation, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (WFOE) is required by law to sell a percentage of shares to an Indonesian citizen or corporate entity.
3.
When incorporating and registering a company in Indonesia, it is necessary to appoint at least two shareholders and two directors to fulfill Indonesia company law obligations. Furthermore, a registered office is required, to which all official correspondence is sent. Finally, every Indonesian company requires a Company Secretary. The only exception to these requirements is the Indonesia Representative Office, which needs none of the above.
4.
Prior to incorporating in Indonesia, all company types (except the Representative Office) require a minimum issued share capital of US$1,000. The Representative Office has no capital requirement.
5.
To incorporate a company in Indonesia, it is not a legal requirement for the company to rent a physical office in Indonesia from which to conduct business; however, while Indonesia virtual offices are available, the majority of entrepreneurs incorporating choose to rent or purchase property in Indonesia.
6.
Following incorporation, the company director and shareholder details are available for viewing on a public register for all entities except the Representative Office.
