Indonesia Market Entry Planning — Legal Support for Foreign Businesses
Integra Law Office helps international clients plan entry into Indonesia through Surabaya—from clarifying commercial goals and questions to resolve, to coordinating setup work and discussing ongoing legal support. The wider market-entry plan connects to, but is distinct from, the company-formation focus of our PT PMA service.
Plan the entry, then coordinate setup.
Before choosing a setup path, organize the commercial decisions: planned activities, target market, operating location, stakeholders, and intended timeline.
A market-entry engagement can connect structure, company formation, licensing, personnel, and operational needs into a clear set of workstreams. Advice depends on the facts and current requirements, which counsel should review for each matter.
After launch, clients can discuss ongoing legal support and compliance needs. This page covers the broader entry journey; the PT PMA page focuses on the company-formation workstream.
When you need a coordinated market-entry plan.
You are assessing whether and how to enter the Indonesian market before committing resources.
You need to coordinate business objectives, structure questions, licensing, and operational planning.
You are comparing company formation with other ways to establish a local presence.
You are acquiring an existing Indonesian business and need transaction-specific legal advice.
Your business is operating and you want to discuss ongoing legal support.
How Indonesian law governs foreign investment.
The Investment Law (UU 25/2007) establishes the framework for foreign investment. Presidential Regulation 10/2021 (Positive Investment List) specifies which sectors are open, restricted, or closed to foreign investors. The OSS RBA system (PP 5/2021) requires all businesses to obtain a Business Identification Number (NIB) and fulfill risk-based licensing commitments.
Understanding the interplay between these regulations — and how they apply to your specific sector — is critical before committing capital. A market entry consultant with local legal expertise can prevent costly missteps.
How we coordinate market entry.
We start with your commercial objective, proposed activities, operating plans, and current questions. Counsel can then identify the legal topics to assess and outline a practical set of workstreams.
We coordinate the agreed setup work and help make the handoff to ongoing legal support clear. Company formation is one part of market entry; the exact scope depends on the client's needs and is agreed before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is market entry different from a PT PMA setup?
Market entry is the broader planning and coordination journey. A PT PMA setup is one possible company-formation workstream; the right scope depends on your business goals and circumstances.
What should I prepare for an initial discussion?
Bring your proposed business activities, target market, preferred location, key stakeholders, intended timeline, and the questions you need answered. Counsel can use that context to identify topics for further review.
Can you discuss legal support after launch?
Yes. We can discuss ongoing support as part of the engagement scope, based on the company's operations and the matters you need help with.
