KBLI 95291 (Aktivitas Vermak Pakaian) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for clothing alteration activities. It sits within the Other Service Activities category in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS).

Can foreign investors operate under KBLI 95291?

Limited — KBLI 95291 is allocated to cooperatives and Indonesian micro/small/medium enterprises (UMKM). Foreign investment via PT PMA is not permitted for the listed sub-activities.

What is the risk level of KBLI 95291?

KBLI 95291 has no Large-scale licensing matrix in OSS — it's structured for Micro and Small business scales only. PT PMA cannot register under this code as a result.

What licenses does KBLI 95291 require?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 95291 is not viable for foreign-owned entities (closed, SME-reserved, domestic-only, or no Large-scale licensing matrix in OSS RBA, depending on the case). Foreign investors should pick a related KBLI that is open at the Large scale.

What is the minimum capital for a PT PMA under KBLI 95291?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 95291 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so neither BKPM Reg. 5/2025's paid-up minimum nor any sector-specific capital floor enters the picture. The structural barrier comes first.

How long does it take to register a business under KBLI 95291?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 95291 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so the 4-8 week PT PMA setup timeline doesn't apply. Move to a sibling code with a Large-scale matrix or a different structure.

Is KBLI 95291 eligible for Indonesian tax incentives?

Not on the Tax Holiday or Tax Allowance priority lists. KBLI 95291 businesses pay the standard 22% PPh Badan; Super Tax Deduction (300% R&D / 200% vocational training) may still apply for qualifying expenses.

Which authority issues the KBLI 95291 license?

Not applicable to PT PMA — KBLI 95291 is not viable for foreign-owned entities, so OSS doesn't designate a PMA issuing authority. Smaller-scale registrations (Micro / Small) for Indonesian operators are typically issued at the Regency / City level.

What other permits beyond the NIB does KBLI 95291 need?

Beyond the NIB, no specific auxiliary permits (PB UMKU) are recorded for KBLI 95291. Sector-specific obligations may still apply — verify with the relevant ministry.

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.

This activity is allocated to Indonesian SMEs and cooperatives.

PT PMA is not permitted for this KBLI. The activity is reserved for cooperatives and Indonesian micro/small/medium enterprises (UMKM). The pathway for foreign investors is to operate a different value-chain step (e.g. processing or distribution rather than the reserved primary activity), or to support local SMEs as an off-taker / brand owner / financier.

Pathways that work

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) or Free Trade Zone (Batam)
Several restricted codes have higher or full PMA caps inside designated KEK zones (Sanur Health, Lido, Mandalika) or the Batam Free Trade Zone — manufacturing, logistics, and IT services especially. The IUK regime under BP Batam relaxes ownership rules selectively in exchange for export orientation. We assess whether your operation can benefit. See the for the requirements.
SME partnership / off-take model
You can't hold the SME licence yourself, but you can build a contractual ecosystem with cooperatives or UMKM partners — supplying them with capital, IP, brand, distribution, or technology. We structure these arrangements so they stay defensible and commercially aligned.

Risk level by business scale

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.
