Establishment of a Legal Entity in Indonesia

Introduction to the Lets Move Group Legal Entity Establishment Service to Get a Mortgage

As expatriates, we know that living and enjoying Indonesia makes us want to stay in this country indefinitely. However, as we know from National Land Agency Regulation Number 18/2021, it is explained that foreigners are allowed to own a house with the status of land built on state land or private land with a Right to Use Certificate (HPL). Apart from that, foreigners are also allowed to own apartments or condominiums standing on land with Building Use Rights (HGB) status.

Referring to this regulation, it can be ascertained that not all types of property can be purchased by foreigners, even with ownership rights. Foreigners are not allowed to own property with a Certificate of Ownership (SHM). However, as mentioned above, foreigners can still apply to purchase property using a KPR. However, several terms and conditions must be met when applying for a mortgage for foreign residents. One solution is the establishment of a legal entity.

In a mortgage, the business entity itself will act as the borrower. Legal entities can be established for various purposes, such as real estate investment, property ownership, or conducting business activities. With legal entity mortgages, liability for the loan is generally limited to the assets of the entity. This liability protection can be a huge benefit to owners, as their assets are protected from the potential financial risks associated with a mortgage.

Qualifications and requirements for legal entity mortgages may differ from individual mortgages. Lenders may consider factors such as the financial strength and creditworthiness of the entity, the nature of its business or investment activities, and the value and condition of the property being financed. Legal entity mortgages may have different interest rates and terms compared to individual mortgages. Interest rates and terms may vary depending on factors such as the creditworthiness of the entity, the type of property being financed, the loan-to-value ratio, and overall market conditions.

Types of Business Legal Entities relevant to obtaining Mortgage in Indonesia

Obtaining a mortgage in Indonesia can vary depending on the type of business legal entity you operate. Here are the most common entities and their mortgage considerations:

Entitled to Mortgage:

  • Perseroan Terbatas (PT) - Limited Liability Company LLC: Both domestic (PT Penanaman Modal Dalam Negeri - PMDN) and foreign-owned (PT Penanaman Modal Asing - PMA) PTs are eligible for mortgages. They can use the company assets or individual directors' guarantees to secure the loan.
  • Firma (FA) - Partnership: As a non-legal entity, an FA itself cannot get a mortgage. However, individual partners with strong financial standing can act as a shareholder and secure mortgages personally for property related to the business.
  • Commanditaire Vennootschap (CV) - Limited Partnership: Similar to FA, CVs themselves cannot take mortgages. However, limited partners with personal assets can obtain individual mortgages for company-related properties.

Not Entitled to Mortgage:

  • Representative Office: Representing a foreign company, they lack independent legal and financial standing, making them ineligible for mortgages.

It's necessary to seek advice from a mortgage specialist and legal professional to understand the specific requirements and procedures for your new business entity in Indonesia.
