Key facts for KBLI 85263
The essentials a foreign investor needs to know before reading the rest of this page.
Reserved for small Indonesian operators — no foreign ownership KBLI 85263 is set up for warungs, smallholders, individual practitioners and similar small businesses; the licensing rules don't cover larger operations. Foreign-owned companies have to register at the Large business size, so this code isn't available to them. Pick a related KBLI that covers larger operations, or partner with an Indonesian operator who already holds the licence.

Foreign investment rules
Indonesia's BUPM (Investment Business Fields) regulation places this code into one of five tracks. The track determines whether a foreign investor (PMA) can operate in this activity at all, and under what conditions.
Reserved for small Indonesian operators
KBLI 85263 is set up for warungs, smallholders, individual practitioners and similar small businesses — Indonesia's licensing rules only define micro and small business sizes for it. Foreign-owned companies have to register at the Large business size, so even though this code isn't on the official "closed" list, foreign ownership isn't possible in practice. Pick a related KBLI that covers larger operations, or set up a partnership with an Indonesian operator who already holds the licence.
What this means for foreign investors
An honest read of the situation, plus the structures that work in practice. We've handled all of these — book a call to walk through your specific plan.
Move to a different value-chain step
The cleanest path: operate a related but open KBLI. For example, foreign investors blocked from primary commodity production frequently succeed with the processing, distribution, branding, or export-trade codes upstream or downstream of the restricted activity.
Special Economic Zone (KEK) carve-outs
Several restricted codes — notably healthcare, education, and certain manufacturing — have higher or full PMA caps inside designated KEK zones (e.g. Sanur Health KEK, Lido KEK). We assess whether your operation can benefit and walk you through the KEK admission process.
Indonesian-owned operating company + commercial agreement
A 100% Indonesian-owned operating entity can hold the restricted licence while you contract with it commercially. We structure these arrangements deliberately — without nominee shareholding, which is unenforceable and increasingly scrutinised.
These KBLIs solve a related business problem and are open to foreign ownership. None are a perfect substitute for the activity above — but they often unlock 80% of the commercial outcome. Talk to us about which fits your plan.

What is KBLI 85263?
A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.
KBLI 85263 (Continuous Muadalah Wustha and Ulya Educational Institution) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for muadalah wustha and ulya educational units continuously. It sits within Education under the subgroup Middle-level Pesantren Education ( major group 85 ) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
Who needs KBLI 85263?
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in muadalah wustha and ulya educational units continuously 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.
Education-specific guidance
Sector context that applies to KBLI 85263 beyond the generic OSS process. Verify with the relevant ministry before committing capital.
- ·Formal education (K–12, higher education) is heavily regulated; foreign equity is capped at 49% for schools and varies for higher education.
- ·Non-formal education (training centers, language schools) is open to PMA up to 100%.
- ·All education providers need Kemendikbudristek operational permits beyond the OSS NIB.
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.
Reorganised in KBLI 2025
KBLI 85263 does not carry the same number forward into KBLI 2025 — the activity has been reclassified, but the precise mapping isn't recorded in our database yet.
- ·For current operations, KBLI 85263 remains valid — OSS still uses KBLI 2020 for all business registrations.
- ·The KBLI 2025 successor codes are listed in the official BPS transition document below; check for the activity-specific mapping when planning future structures.
- ·Once OSS announces the KBLI 2025 cutover, existing entities will need to update their primary KBLI to the relevant successor — typically straightforward.
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.
