Understanding the minimum capital requirements is essential for foreign investors planning to set up a business in Indonesia. 

These requirements ensure that your business complies with local regulations and is financially capable of operating effectively. 

This guide outlines the minimum capital requirements for establishing different types of business entities in Indonesia.

Minimum Capital Requirements for Setting Up a Business in Indonesia

• PT PMA (Foreign-Owned Limited Liability Company):
  • Minimum Capital: The general minimum capital requirement for a PT PMA is USD 1 million.
  • Paid-Up Capital: At least 25% of the minimum capital (USD 250,000) must be paid up at the time of incorporation.

Notes: Specific industries may have higher minimum capital requirements based on regulatory provisions.

• Local PT (Locally-Owned Limited Liability Company):
  • Small Enterprise: IDR 50 million to IDR 500 million.
  • Medium Enterprise: IDR 500 million to IDR 10 billion.
  • Large Enterprise: More than IDR 10 billion.

Notes: Foreign investors typically cannot establish a local PT without partnering with an Indonesian entity due to foreign ownership restrictions.

• Representative Office (KPPA):
  • Minimum Capital: No minimum capital requirement.

Notes: Since representative offices are not permitted to conduct direct business activities or generate revenue, they do not require capital investment.

• Branch Office:
  • Minimum Capital: Varies depending on the industry and specific regulations.

Notes: Applicable mainly to foreign banks, construction companies, and specific sectors where branch offices are allowed.
