The company establishment documents, prepared by a Notary in the Indonesian language, include essential provisions regarding the formation of the company and the agreements of the founders, such as the company’s identity, objectives and office location, authorized and paid-up capital, identities of the founders and shareholders, as well as the organizational structure.
The Notary is responsible for drafting these documents in accordance with the applicable laws, ensuring that all crucial elements are covered thoroughly and clearly.
The founders or shareholders of a Limited Liability Company (PT) are required to sign the deed of establishment before a Notary, which will then become a Notarial Deed.

After the shareholders sign the minutes of the Deed of Establishment, the Notary will prepare a copy of the deed and submit the Decree of Ratification of the Company Establishment (Surat Keputusan (SK)) to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.
Once this process is completed, the founders will receive a copy of the Deed of Establishment and the Approval Decree from the Minister. EasyLegal ensures that this process can be completed quickly, targeting a turnaround time of only 2 working days, making your company establishment legalities easier and faster.

KBLI stands for the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (Klasifikasi Baku Lapangan Usaha Indonesia). It is a classification system used by the Indonesian government to categorize all types of business activities conducted in Indonesia based on the type of business. KBLI covers all economic sectors, including agriculture, trade, manufacturing, services, and others.
KBLI is designed to help the government and business actors analyze and assess the state of industries in Indonesia. It is also used to identify and estimate human resource needs, provide information to investors, and serve as a reference for applying for business licenses.
Each type of business activity has a specific and unique KBLI code. The KBLI code consists of six digits, where the first three digits indicate the economic sector, and the remaining three digits specify the type of business activity. This KBLI code must be listed on important documents such as business licenses, financial statements, and other documents related to business activities.
KBLI, or the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification, has several uses, including:
Facilitating industry analysis and assessment in Indonesia. KBLI allows the government to analyze and evaluate the development of economic sectors, including identifying growing sectors and those needing more attention.
Assisting in human resource planning and development. KBLI can be used to estimate the human resource needs of specific industrial sectors, making it easier to plan and develop a qualified workforce that meets industry requirements.
Providing information to investors. KBLI serves as a reference for investors in choosing the type of business to invest in, including understanding which industrial sectors are growing and their future prospects.
Serving as a reference for business license applications. KBLI is used by business actors when applying for licenses, as each business type has a specific and unique KBLI code.
Facilitating monitoring and supervision of business activities. KBLI helps the government monitor and supervise business activities to ensure that companies comply with applicable rules and regulations.
In general, KBLI is very important for helping the government, business actors, investors, and the public identify business types and make informed decisions related to business and industry in Indonesia.
