KBLI Code Finder — describe your business, get the code.
Tell us what your business will do in Indonesia in one sentence. Our AI ranks all 1,773 KBLI codes for the closest match, then re-ranks for PMA viability — so the codes a foreign investor can't use are pushed down or flagged. No login. No code list to scroll. Three answers in five seconds.
Built for foreign investors specifically.
Semantic match across every KBLI
Your description is embedded with text-embedding-3-small and matched against pre-embedded KBLI 2020 + 2025 classes. Catches synonyms (diner → restaurant, fintech → financial activities) that keyword search misses.
Investor-aware reranking
GPT-4o-mini picks the 3 best matches from the shortlist, knowing each candidate's foreign-investment status. Codes that are PMA-viable get prioritised; codes you can't actually use get flagged or pushed down.
One click to a setup quote
Each suggestion has a 'Configure my setup' button that opens the PT setup configurator with that KBLI prefilled.
Grounded in OSS Indonesia, not guesses.
Every match draws on the official OSS regulatory matrix — risk levels per business scale, BUPM Investment Business Fields, KBLI 2020 ↔ 2025 mappings. When we suggest a code, we know whether your foreign-owned PT PMA can actually register under it (or whether the activity is reserved for Indonesian operators).
