PT Registration - Who is it for and what are the benefits
PT Registration, short for Perseroan Terbatas company registration, is specifically for businesses in Indonesia that wish to establish a limited liability company.
PT Registration is suitable for Indonesian entrepreneurs who want to establish a formal legal entity to conduct their business activities. It provides a structure that separates personal assets from business liabilities, offering limited liability protection.
A PT (Perseroan Terbatas) is a local company, designed for Indonesian citizens and therefore we would only recommend setting up this type of business if you are either Indonesian or have a trustworthy Indonesian partner. If you are a foreigner we would recommend setting up a PMA. To find out more about PMA Establishment, you may check our PT PMA Establishment Page here!
Additionally, there are some business entities that are only available to Indonesian Companies, therefore, even if you are a foreign company or individual, you may still need to set up a PT.
At Lets Move Indonesia, we specialise in assisting businesses with PT company registration and provide comprehensive support throughout the process, helping you establish a strong legal foundation for your business in Indonesia.
Lets Move Indonesia’s expert teams are located across Jakarta & Bali, ready to assist you completely with a hassle-free company registration process!

Benefits of Setting Up a Company Registration in Indonesia
Seperate Legal Entities
A PT is considered a separate legal entity from its shareholders. This distinction provides the company with the ability to enter into contracts, acquire assets, and engage in legal proceedings on its own behalf, separate from its owners.
Investor Attraction
PT registration can enhance your business’s credibility and attract potential investors. Many investors prefer to invest in formal legal entities that offer limited liability protection and clear corporate governance structures.
Access to Local Market
Registering as a PT enables you to access the vast Indonesian market. It demonstrates your commitment to complying with local regulations and building trust among local customers, suppliers, and partners.
Perpetual Existence
A PT has perpetual existence, meaning it continues to exist regardless of changes in its ownership structure or the death of shareholders. This ensures continuity and stability for long-term business operations and future succession planning.
Financing Opportunities
PT registration opens doors to various financing opportunities, such as accessing bank loans, attracting investment, and issuing shares or bonds to raise capital for business growth and expansion.
