Establishment of Legal Entities: Targets & Benefits

A legal entity in Indonesia refers to a formal business structure recognized by the government. The two main types of legal entities are PT (Perseroan Terbatas) and PT PMA (Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing). Having a legal entity is essential for several reasons.

Having a legal entity is crucial for obtaining HGB because Indonesian land laws generally restrict land ownership to Indonesian citizens and certain legal entities. Hak Guna Bangunan” (HGB) is a type of land use right that grants the holder the right to construct and own buildings on land that is owned by the state or by another entity. To obtain HGB, a legal entity establishment is typically required. This involves setting up a company or organization that can be recognized as a legal entity under Indonesian law.

Through a PT or PT PMA, foreigners can acquire property rights as long as the land use aligns with the company’s business activities and is following prevailing regulations. This arrangement allows foreign investors to establish a legal presence in Indonesia, facilitating property ownership while ensuring compliance with the country’s land ownership laws.
