Business License
Starting a business in Indonesia means a chain of interlocking permits. We handle business licensing from entity establishment to sector-specific operating permits.
Overview
Starting a business in Indonesia means working through a series of interlocking permits. IBU handles business licensing from entity establishment through to operational permits specific to your sector.
Entity establishment
- PT (Limited Liability Company) — local PT and PT PMA (foreign-investment).
- CV (Limited Partnership) — for small-to-medium operations with a simpler structure.
- UD (Sole Proprietorship) — individual business with limited capital commitment.
- Foundation — for social, educational, or religious activities.
- Foreign Representative — KPPA, BUJKA, and other representative office forms.
OSS and NIB
All business licensing now flows through OSS (Online Single Submission), with NIB (Business Identification Number) as the primary identity. We map the KBLI codes aligned with your business plan, register the NIB, and complete follow-on permits based on the risk classification.
Sector-specific permits
- Tourism: TDUP, hotel/villa permits, restaurant/bar permits, spa permits.
- F&B: PIRT, LPPOM-MUI halal certification, alcoholic beverage distribution.
- Property: location permits, environmental permits, IMB/PBG.
- Professional services: profession-specific licences (tax consultant, advocate, accountant, doctor, etc.).
- E-commerce and digital: TDPSE, Bank Indonesia licensing for fintech.

Every application goes in with a complete document package from the start — not piece by piece while waiting for additional requests from the agency. That cuts issuing time significantly.
