If your business is international and you are looking to potentially expand to Indonesia then this is the perfect company establishment type for you.
As a representative office, you will be able to supervise and coordinate business or do market research without the risk of large investments. A representative Office is an ideal option for businesses that are exploring business opportunities in the Indonesian market.
As a representative office, you will not be allowed to generate revenue, make business transactions, import or export goods; however, you are entitled to obtain work permits for expatriate managers as well as obtain Multiple Business Visas for personal.
Generally, businesses pick this option if they are conducting market research or seeing whether their business model will work before setting up a PMA.
The main advantages of setting up this business entity include:
- Its relative ease to set up
- There is no need for large investments or paid up capital
- There is significantly less paperwork as you will only need to report income tax for the employees as well as office space tax
- If you require any more information on how to set up a Representative office or any of the above, then feel free to contact the LetsMoveIndonesia Team, we will be happy to help.
