Setting up a PT PMA (foreign-owned company) in Indonesia is a major milestone for investors, but one of the earliest and most important decisions is selecting the correct KBLI code.
KBLI stands for Klasifikasi Baku Lapangan Usaha Indonesia, the standard classification of business activities used across all government platforms and regulatory frameworks.
Your KBLI code determines what business activities your company can legally perform, what licenses you need, and whether foreign ownership is restricted or capped.
Start by identifying your core business activities and matching them to the most specific KBLI category available. Consider both your current and planned future operations.
Selecting overly broad or incorrect KBLI codes can lead to licensing issues, compliance problems, and limitations on your business operations.
Work with a qualified corporate consultant who understands Indonesia's regulatory landscape to ensure your KBLI selection supports your business goals.
