Corporate Structure & Establishment
Establishing a legal business entity in Indonesia is a crucial step for foreign and local businesses seeking to operate in the market. At DSDP Counsellors at Law, we provide comprehensive legal services for the establishment of various corporate structures in Indonesia, including PT PMA (Foreign Investment Limited Liability Company), branch offices, and joint ventures. We ensure that your business entity is structured in compliance with Indonesian laws, offering long-term stability and legal protection for your operations.
Our Services Include:
1. Establishment of Business Entities in Indonesia (PT PMA, Branch Offices, Joint Ventures)
- PT PMA (Foreign Investment Limited Liability Company): We assist in establishing a PT PMA, the most common legal structure for foreign investors wishing to establish a wholly owned subsidiary or joint venture in Indonesia. Our team ensures compliance with Indonesia’s Foreign Investment Law (PMA) and provides guidance on ownership restrictions, capital requirements, and operational guidelines.
- Branch Offices: For foreign businesses wishing to establish a presence in Indonesia without forming a full subsidiary, we help set up branch offices. We provide advice on the limitations of branch offices, their operational scope, and registration with relevant authorities, including the Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM).
- Joint Ventures: We assist in structuring and establishing joint ventures with local Indonesian partners, helping you navigate the regulatory requirements and negotiate terms that align with your business objectives. We also ensure that the joint venture complies with the rules regarding foreign ownership and sector-specific regulations.
2. Compliance with the Indonesian Company Law (Undang-Undang Perseroan Terbatas)
- We ensure that the corporate structure complies with Indonesia's Company Law (Undang-Undang Perseroan Terbatas), which governs all types of business entities in Indonesia. This includes compliance with the regulations regarding the minimum capital requirements, shareholders' rights and responsibilities, and corporate governance.
- Our team ensures that the company's Articles of Association (Anggaran Dasar) are in accordance with the law, clearly defining the roles, rights, and duties of directors, shareholders, and other stakeholders. We also ensure compliance with the operational and financial reporting requirements set by Indonesian regulators.
- We provide legal advice on corporate governance practices, including the roles of management, directors, and shareholders, and guide you in implementing a governance framework that meets Indonesian standards.
3. Legal Structuring and Corporate Governance
- We assist in structuring the company to align with your business goals while minimizing legal risks. This includes advising on ownership structures, voting rights, profit-sharing arrangements, and shareholder agreements.
- Our team works to ensure that your business complies with all local regulations related to corporate governance, ensuring that decision-making processes are clear, transparent, and legally binding.
