Official Corporate Entity Incorporation, Notarial Deeds, AHU Legalization & Risk-Based OSS NIB Registration
Establishing a legitimate corporate legal entity in Indonesia is the essential prerequisite for acquiring professional licenses (SBU, SKK, Halal, ISO) and bidding on government and enterprise contracts. Governed by the Job Creation Law (UU Cipta Kerja) and Government Regulation PP No. 5/2021, business incorporation is now integrated with the Risk-Based Online Single Submission (OSS-RBA) system.
Permit Indonesia delivers comprehensive incorporation services: Notarial Deed drafting, Ministry of Law and Human Rights (AHU Kemenkumham) approval, Corporate Tax ID (NPWP Badan), KSWP tax status verification, and OSS-RBA Business Identification Number (NIB) issuance across all 38 provinces.
