Set up & structure
Individual Company (PT Perorangan)
A PT Perorangan is the one-founder company: an Indonesian citizen, registered electronically, no notary.
Who this is for. An Indonesian citizen starting a micro or small business alone, who wants the protection of a limited company without a notary, a partner or a minimum capital.

A PT Perorangan is the individual company — a limited company with a single shareholder, registered by an electronic statement rather than a notarial deed, for a business at micro or small scale.
Read this first, if you are a foreign investor
You cannot hold this vehicle. The founder must be an Indonesian citizen, and a perseroan perorangan — the full legal name for a PT Perorangan — cannot have a second shareholder. If you are a foreign investor, look instead at a PT PMA, or a PT PMDN held by Indonesian shareholders.
If anyone has offered you a perseroan perorangan as your route in, they have offered you something that does not exist. The rest of this page is written for an Indonesian founder.
How it differs from an ordinary PT
It is a real limited company with legal personality. The business is a separate legal person from you, and you are not personally liable for what it owes beyond your shares.
There is no notarial deed and no second shareholder to find: you are the director and the shareholder at once. Once registered, the company takes an NPWP (its tax number) and an NIB (its business identification number, issued through the OSS licensing system).
The capital is whatever you decide. You state it in the registration, at least a quarter must be issued and paid up, and the evidence goes to the Ministry within 60 calendar days — a deadline nothing arrives to remind you of.
Where micro and small scale ends
The limit is set by PP 7/2021 and measured by business capital: a small business has up to IDR 5 billion. Business capital means the money used to run the business, borrowed as well as your own, and usually excludes the land and buildings it operates from.
So a founder who registers with modest capital and then funds growth with a large loan can pass the limit without changing anything in the registration. When that happens, or when you take on a partner, the conversion to an ordinary PT is a routine piece of work, and we handle it.
Why us
Why MAM for Individual Company
- We tell you if you should not use it
It suits one founder at micro or small scale. If you are taking on a partner, or you are already past that size, we will say so before you register rather than after — converting later costs a notarial deed you could have avoided.
- The accounts are a legal duty, not an upsell
A perseroan perorangan must keep financial statements from the day it exists. We set the bookkeeping up alongside the registration, so the obligation is met from the first month rather than reconstructed at year end.
- Qualified accountants, not a registration agent
MAM is led by ACCA members, registered with IAPI and a member of IAI. The firm that registers the company is the firm that keeps its books and files its tax.

Questions
What people ask us
Can a foreigner own a PT Perorangan?
No. The founder must be an Indonesian citizen aged 17 or over, and this vehicle cannot take a foreign shareholder. The notice at the top of this page sets out what a foreign investor uses instead.
How is it different from an ordinary PT?
It is a real limited company with legal personality, so your liability is limited in the same way. What differs is the setting up and the ceiling: one founder who serves as director and shareholder at once, an electronic statement instead of a notarial deed, and a business at micro or small scale only.
What happens when the business grows, or I take on a partner?
It must be converted into an ordinary PT, and that conversion does need a notarial deed.
Can I register more than one?
One per founder per year, which is worth knowing if you are planning two businesses.
How long does it take?
Around two weeks, the same as a local company.
Do I have to keep accounts?
Yes, and it is a legal duty rather than good practice — the company must produce financial statements. We normally set the bookkeeping up alongside the registration so the obligation is met from the first month.
