Private advisory service — not a government website. UnionSPACE is a private business consultancy and commercial services provider. We are not part of, affiliated with, or endorsed by the Government of Indonesia, OSS, BKPM, the Ministry of Law, the Directorate General of Taxes or Indonesian immigration authorities. Government registrations, identifiers, licences and immigration approvals are issued or controlled by the relevant authorities.
Planning an Indonesia PT PMA? Check the Structure Before You File.
Before committing to an Indonesian company structure, confirm that your intended business activity, foreign ownership, investment plan, address and licensing pathway fit together. UnionSPACE helps foreign investors assess the commercial and regulatory roadmap before incorporation decisions are finalized.
Start with a PT PMA Fit Review: tell us what your business will do in Indonesia and we will identify the key questions that should be resolved around KBLI classification, ownership, operating location, licensing risk and ongoing compliance.

The KBLI and business model are reviewed before recommending the setup path.
Authorities, banks and other institutions make their own independent decisions.
WHY REVIEW FIRST
A PT PMA Is More Than a Company Certificate
For a foreign investor, the important question is not only whether a company can be incorporated. It is whether the proposed activity can be owned, licensed, located and operated the way your business model requires.
1. KBLI & Activity Mapping
Translate your actual revenue model into the business activities that need to be reviewed, instead of choosing a code simply because it sounds similar.
2. Ownership & Structure
Review whether the intended activity supports the foreign ownership position and whether the shareholder, director and commissioner structure is workable.
3. Location & Operating Footprint
Check whether the planned address, virtual office, commercial premises, warehouse or facility is compatible with the intended activities and risk profile.
4. Licence-to-Operate Roadmap
Identify what may be needed beyond the initial business identity, including standard certificates, sector approvals, environmental or location requirements.
CLEAR RESPONSIBILITIES
What Government Authorities Do — and What UnionSPACE Does
This distinction matters. UnionSPACE provides private professional support; Indonesian authorities remain responsible for government systems, registrations and approvals.
- Set the legal and regulatory requirements.
- Operate official government platforms such as OSS.
- Issue or control official registrations, identifiers and licences.
- Determine whether an application is accepted, verified, approved or rejected.
- Banks separately decide account-opening applications and KYC.
- Explain the market-entry considerations relevant to your proposed business.
- Review proposed activities, ownership, investment assumptions and operating footprint.
- Prepare a practical setup and compliance roadmap.
- Coordinate documents, local professional parties and commercial support within the agreed scope.
- Provide office, accounting, tax, banking-readiness and ongoing business support where applicable.
Prefer to use official government channels directly?
You can access Indonesian government information and services directly. Official government services may be available at no charge or for official administrative fees that are lower than private professional-service fees.
Official resources: OSS Indonesia and Ministry of Investment / BKPM. UnionSPACE's fees, when engaged, are for private advisory and commercial support and are separate from government charges unless expressly stated in a written proposal.
HOW WE WORK
Start With Fit. Then Decide Whether to Proceed.
A consultation-first process helps avoid committing to a structure before the activity and operating model have been properly considered.
PT PMA Fit Review
You explain what the business will actually do, who will own it, where it will operate and your target timeline.
Market-Entry Roadmap
We identify the important structuring, KBLI, ownership, address, licensing and compliance questions that should be resolved.
Optional Project Support
If you proceed, we can provide a written scope for private advisory, local coordination, office and ongoing business support. Government approvals remain independent.
INVESTOR FIT
When a PT PMA Usually Deserves Serious Consideration
Often Relevant When You Plan To
- Generate revenue from activities carried on in Indonesia.
- Hire staff, lease space or establish a durable local operating presence.
- Enter contracts with Indonesian customers, suppliers or partners through a local entity.
- Build a long-term Indonesia operation rather than only test market demand.
Review Alternatives Carefully When
- Your activity may be restricted, capped or subject to special sector conditions.
- You only need market research, liaison or representative functions.
- The project requires industrial facilities, product registrations or specialist approvals.
- You are still validating demand and are not ready for the expected investment and compliance obligations.
PRIVATE PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT
One Advisor Across the Commercial Setup Workstreams
Once the structure is considered suitable, your engagement can be scoped around the private support your project actually needs.
Structuring & Documentation
Company-structure planning, document checklist, commercial document preparation and coordination with relevant local professional parties.
Office & Operating Support
Suitable office solutions, meeting rooms, local contact support and practical operating arrangements subject to activity and location requirements.
Banking Readiness

Accounting & Compliance
Accounting onboarding, tax-compliance planning and recurring business-support arrangements after the company is operational.
COMMERCIAL TERMS
Scoped to the Business Model — Not a One-Size-Fits-All Filing Fee
The work required can vary materially by KBLI activity, foreign ownership, location, industry, investment plan and licensing risk. For that reason, we first review the proposed business and then provide a written professional-service scope and fee.
- Clear description of UnionSPACE professional services
- Government and third-party charges identified separately where known
- Assumptions and exclusions stated before engagement
- No claim that payment guarantees government, bank or immigration approval
