We ensure your company structure, documentation, and employment practices align with current Indonesian laws, significantly reducing legal and operational risks that foreign companies often encounter when entering this dynamic market.
-

Indonesia Market Entry Support Services

Market Research
Major research firms often charge USD10,000-20,000 for a single market report on Indonesia, typically over 100 pages long. At that price point, running repeated surveys to support a PDCA cycle becomes unrealistic. We offer lean, affordable market research solutions — enabling agile decision-making without compromising on insight.
-
On-site Inspection
You’ve likely seen many articles and news reports highlighting Indonesia’s growth potential. However, no amount of information can replace the insights gained by being on the ground and experiencing the local energy firsthand. We coordinate customized site visits to help you truly understand the market beyond the data.
-
Visa Application
As of April 2025, entering Indonesia—whether for tourism or business—requires a visa that matches your specific purpose. Since January 2024, visa categories have been more strictly defined and managed based on activity type. If you're unsure which visa you need, feel free to contact us for guidance.
-
Employment Outsourcing
Establishing a legal entity in Indonesia comes with challenges — foreign-owned companies face a high capital requirement (approx. JPY 100 million), while locally registered entities require Indonesian shareholders who cannot transfer ownership. As a first step into the attractive Indonesian market, why not consider using employment outsourcing services instead of setting up a company?
-
Representative Office
Unlike setting up a company, establishing a representative office allows for easier and more flexible access to the Indonesian market—making it an ideal entry point. While Indonesia offers great potential, long-term success is never guaranteed. Starting with a representative office is a smart and low-risk way to explore business opportunities before making larger commitments.
-
Establish a Company
When establishing a company in Indonesia, one of the first decisions is whether to set up a foreign-owned or locally-owned entity. If you can secure the required capital—approximately JPY 100 million—a foreign-owned company is generally recommended. It allows full ownership and control, offering a more straightforward and transparent path than setting up a local nominee-based entity.
