How we handle your KBLI 53202 setup

Emerhub is a corporate-services provider in Indonesia. We do the legal and regulatory legwork for foreign investors so you can focus on the business itself. Here's what the engagement looks like.

1
Identify a qualifying SME / cooperative partner
2–3 business days
KBLI 53202 requires a mandatory partnership with cooperatives or Indonesian UMKM. We help identify, vet, and contract with qualifying partners — and structure the partnership so it satisfies the regulator without hollowing out your economics.
What we need from you
- Founders' passport copies and proof of residence
- Intended share split and board composition
2
Incorporate your PT PMA
7–10 business days
We draft the Articles of Association before a notary, register the entity with the Ministry of Law & Human Rights (Kemenkumham), and obtain the company's tax ID (NPWP). Under BKPM Reg. 5/2025, paid-up capital is IDR 2.5 billion (~USD 160K) — the cash actually deposited at incorporation. The IDR 10 billion+ figure many sources still cite is the total investment commitment per KBLI, realised over time via your LKPM reports.
