Set up & structure
Local Indonesian Company (PT PMDN)
A local Indonesian company (PT PMDN) is the domestic entity: Indonesian shareholders, and no legal minimum capital.
Who this is for. An Indonesian founder, or a foreign investor working with Indonesian shareholders, who needs a domestic company without a PT PMA's capital requirement.

A local Indonesian company (PT PMDN) is the domestic limited company — Indonesian-owned, with no minimum capital, and the standard vehicle for a business owned by Indonesian shareholders.
PT PMDN or PT PMA?
The deciding factor is who owns the shares, not who runs the business.
A PT PMDN requires Indonesian shareholders. It is faster and materially cheaper to establish, and it carries no minimum capital at all — it is classified by what it actually is, so a small company is treated as one.
A PT PMA permits foreign ownership, up to 100% in most sectors, but counts as a large enterprise whatever its size, and carries the capital floor that goes with that.
If you are one Indonesian founder, at micro or small scale, there is a lighter vehicle. A PT Perorangan is registered by electronic statement with no notary and no partner, and it converts into a company like this one when you take a second shareholder or grow past that scale.
If you are a foreign investor being offered a PT PMDN as a shortcut, understand what you are agreeing to: you would not be a shareholder. Arrangements exist to address that, and we will explain them plainly — including their risks — but you should go in with your eyes open rather than discover the position later.

Questions
What people ask us
What do you need to know before you can quote?
The proposed company name, the details of the directors, shareholders and commissioners, the business activity, whether you need a virtual or a physical office, and where the company is to be set up. We also need identity cards (KTP), email addresses, residential addresses and contact numbers for everyone named. It comes through a diagnostic form our team sends once the initial quotation is signed, so you are not assembling it in the dark.
How long until the company can actually trade?
Around two weeks.
What is the minimum capital?
There is no statutory minimum any more. The founders set the authorised capital in the deed, and at least a quarter of it must be issued and paid up, with proof filed within 60 days of signing. The figure you choose matters for a different reason: it sets the company’s size band, and the band governs licensing and how often the investment report is filed. We normally form at IDR 50 million, which sits well inside micro scale.
What must the company file in its first year?
Two start at once, trading or not: the investment board report (LKPM), which has a preparation-stage version for a company that is not yet operating — unless the business is micro-scale, which is exempt — and the annual corporate return. Monthly tax and payroll compliance follow once it starts trading and paying staff — sooner if it is registered for VAT, because a VAT return is filed every month, even at nil.
