However, not so many of them are aware of the importance of legalizing their companies.
Legalize your company into a private limited company
A PT (Limited Liability Company) or Nasalize Vennotschap in Dutch, is a privately-owned company with legal ownership of capital in the form of shares and bonds. Setting up a private limited company in Indonesia means establishing a PT. Before you start your own PT, learn the steps to start one, as mentioned below.
- Prepare a name for your PT of at least three words. You must not use foreign vocabulary or loan words and the name of a PT that has been used by others.
- Decide the intention and purpose of making a PT.
This is stipulated in The Article 3 of the Deed of a PT Establishment which explains that the PT was established to undertake any activities.
There are several things to note in the intent and purpose of PT, namely:
