Worth confirming: Openness here is based on BUPM (Pres. Reg. 10/2021). Sector regulators (PSE/Kominfo for digital platforms, BPOM for food and cosmetics, OJK for financial, Kemenkes for healthcare, Permendag for retail, ESDM for energy) often add licensing and capital requirements on top — the practical answer depends on your business model.

Reg. 10/2021 carves out 2 specific sub-activities that are off-limits or restricted for foreign capital. The rest of the activity remains open to PMA. The carved-out items are listed below; any of them needs to be either avoided, served via an Indonesian operator, or structured around case-by-case.

We obtain your NIB
1–2 business days
We file the OSS application with KBLI 71102 as your primary business activity, complete the risk-based assessment, and collect the NIB (Business Identification Number) for you — typically within hours of submission. You don't need to touch the OSS portal.
What we need from you
Office address (virtual office acceptable for many KBLIs; we can arrange one)

Secure your full Operating License (Izin)
15+ business days
NIB is issued for the preparation stage. Commercial operation requires a full Operating License (Izin) issued by the competent ministry after a substantive review of the operator's capability, facility, and compliance. Operating with NIB alone exposes the entity to penalties, blacklisting, and contract invalidation. We prepare the application bundle, liaise with the competent ministry, and chase issuance through to the certificate. Statutory turnaround: 15 business days — real-world timing typically runs longer when site inspections or additional clarifications are requested.
What we need from you
Technical documentation specific to your operation
Appointment of a Penanggung Jawab Teknis (PJT — technical responsible person)
5
Hand-off to ongoing compliance
Ongoing
Post-launch we run your monthly tax filings, quarterly LKPM (Investment Activity Reports), annual general meeting (RUPS), and any sector-specific reporting. You get a single point of contact and a monthly compliance digest — no Indonesian-language paperwork on your desk.

KBLI 71102 is open to 100% foreign ownership as a class — a PT PMA can be incorporated under this code. However, Pres. Reg. 10/2021 carves out the specific sub-activities listed above, which are either reserved for Indonesian capital, capped, or restricted to cooperatives/UMKM. A foreign investor may operate every other slice of this KBLI but must avoid (or partner around) those particular sub-activities.

Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in engineering and technical consultation activities ybdi as a primary or secondary business activity must select this code on its NIB (Business Identification Number). The selected code determines the licensing instruments required, the issuing authority, and the ongoing compliance obligations.
Why does the code matter?
Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach uses the KBLI code to determine three things: (1) whether foreign investment is permitted and at what cap, (2) the risk-based licensing instruments required, and (3) the authority that issues each instrument. Choosing the wrong code can delay or invalidate your license.
§ 05
Under the upcoming KBLI 2025
Indonesia's BPS published the new KBLI 2025 taxonomy in early 2025. OSS, BKPM and the operating ministries have not yet adopted it — KBLI 2020 remains the active standard for business registration. This is what's coming for this specific code.
Carried forward into KBLI 2025
KBLI 71102 retains the same code number and scope in the new taxonomy. The activity description, hierarchy, and intended use of the code are preserved.
·Continue using 71102 for current registrations under KBLI 2020.
·When OSS adopts KBLI 2025 (timing not yet announced), no migration is required for this code.
·Risk level, permits, and authority routing shown above remain in effect under both taxonomies.
When OSS adopts KBLI 2025, we'll migrate your existing entity to the appropriate successor code as part of ongoing compliance — no action needed on your end now.
Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach assigns a separate risk level for each of the four business scales. The licensing instruments required (NIB, Standard Certificate, Operating License) are determined by the risk level. Foreign-owned entities (PT PMA) must register at the Large scale, so the rightmost column applies to most foreign investors.
01
Micro
Usaha Mikro
≤ IDR 2 B turnover
Medium-High risk
NIB + ministry-verified Standard Certificate before invoicing.
02
Small

What does each risk level require to operate? ›
Low. NIB alone is sufficient for both preparation and commercial operation. Issued instantly via OSS.
Medium-Low. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a self-declared Sertifikat Standar (Standard Certificate). Operating with NIB alone is not legally compliant.
Medium-High. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a Sertifikat Standar verified by the competent ministry — typically with a site or document inspection.
High. NIB enables preparation only. Commercial operation requires a full Operating License (Izin) issued by the competent ministry after substantive review.
Beyond OSS, sector-specific permits commonly apply on top — e.g. SBU for construction, BPOM for food/cosmetics/medicines, OJK for financial services, IUP for mining, PSE for digital services. See the industry-specific guidance below for what applies to this KBLI.
