For foreign investors
Key facts for KBLI 84138
The essentials a foreign investor needs to know before reading the rest of this page.
§ 01
Status investasi (lokal)
Regulasi BUPM (Bidang Usaha Penanaman Modal) Indonesia menempatkan kode ini dalam salah satu dari lima kategori. Untuk perusahaan dengan pemegang saham WNI, batasan investasi asing dan ketentuan khusus PMA tidak berlaku — aturan di bawah mencakup yang relevan untuk operator lokal.
Status · Mikro/kecil saja
Terbuka — dirancang untuk usaha mikro dan kecil
KBLI 84138 dirancang seputar skala usaha Mikro dan Kecil: warung, petani kecil, praktisi perorangan. Sebagai perusahaan 100% milik Indonesia, Anda dapat beroperasi di bawah kode ini tanpa pembatasan; tidak adanya matriks skala Besar adalah disengaja (ini kegiatan operator kecil), bukan hambatan.
Cocok untuk usaha mikro dan kecil. KBLI 84138 hanya memiliki aturan perizinan pada skala Mikro dan Kecil — tepat untuk segmen yang memang dirancang untuk kode ini (warung, petani kecil, praktisi perorangan). Operasi yang lebih besar perlu pilih KBLI lain.

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.
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.
Looking to set up a foreign-owned company in government agency activities for creating production and business efficiency? There are solutions.
Public lookup tables don't show every workable structure — KEK carve-outs, joint ventures, IP / off-take arrangements, BKPM letters of clarification. Emerhub has built each of these for clients across Indonesia. Contact us for an initial assessment of your specific plan.
