Hi to all!

Foreign ownership company (PT. PMA) in Bali is looking for a shareholder, ideal for foreigner who wants to build a legal company in Indonesia but doesnt want to pay the excessive prices currently in use.

Mike, how is it that becoming a shareholder in a PMA "ideal for foreigner who wants to build a legal company in Indonesia but doesnt want to pay the excessive prices currently in use?"

Sorry, but it just doesn't work that way.

Consult an attorney. If a PMA gets sold, the PMA needs to be re-registered all over again, and the minimum investment parameters must also be met.

Ownership of non controlling shares in a PMA here does NOT provide a foreigner with any sort of means to build a legal company in Indonesia.

Hi Mr Ubudian, you are totally right, but I'm not selling anything here, I'm just looking for a shareholder.

My company has been built before 2008, and the actual rules doesn't apply for PMA built before 2008. It means that I have the right to let a foreigner become a shareholder of my society.

Have a wonderful day Mr. Ubudian!

I strongly urge ANY foreigner considering an investment in Indonesia to consult professional legal advice through an attorney (not a notaris) and to familiarize themselves with Indonesian Investment Law.

While babi guling is indeed the favored provincial dish of Bali, dont get stuck buying a pig in a poke.
