Amount of Authorized Capital to Register a PT Company
Once foreign investors have prepared all of the requirements above, how much is the amount of authorized capital needed to set up a local PT company in Indonesia?
Well, the amount usually can vary, but the total capital can amount from IDR 50 million to IDR 10 billion. According to the Ministry of Investment of Indonesia, the total amount of authorized capital needed to set up a PT company can be categorized into the following:
- Small-sized: IDR 50 million – IDR 500 million
- Medium-sized: IDR 500 million – IDR 10 billion
- Large-sized: More than IDR 10 billion
One thing foreign investors need to remember when trying to set up a PT company in Indonesia is that they need to at least set up a medium-sized PT company with a minimum amount of authorized capital of IDR 1,1 billion if they want to employ foreigners as staff.
As employing foreigners as on-site staff can require more fiscal spending to support their livelihood in Indonesia, it is no wonder that foreign investors need to prepare an authorized capital of that amount to ensure that they fulfill all regulations and be able to support the lives of their foreign staff.

Submission of application
All of the company’s founders or at least one of the authorized founders will have to submit the application for the company’s establishment to a Notary while also bringing all of the required documents. This is especially important so that the company can receive its Deed of Establishment.
The copying of the LLC statement
To ensure all of the company’s founders can receive the same access to the LLC statement, the Notary can make several copies of the statement for each founder to ensure that they have a full understanding of the LLC statement.
Issuance and stamping of the LLC statement
After the application is submitted, the Notary will need to issue and stamp the authentic Deed of Limited Liability Company Certificate that will then be submitted to the Ministry of Investment of Indonesia to ensure the company’s legal status.
Submission of the Deed of Establishment to the Ministry and the Ratification of the Deed
After the Deed is submitted to the ministry, it will take about 1 to 6 months to try to ratify the company’s legal status. Once ratified, the company will earn the status of a legal entity and will then be identified as an LLC (PT company).
