When undertaking company registration in Indonesia, several key documents must be prepared and submitted in compliance with the requirements of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (MOLHR), the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), and other relevant authorities. The following are the essential documents needed for a smooth registration process:
-
Company Name Approval – A proposed company name must be submitted and approved to ensure it complies with naming regulations and is not already in use.
-
Deed of Establishment – Drafted and signed before a notary, this document outlines the company’s structure, business activities, shareholding, and governance. It must be legalized by the MOLHR.
-
Identification Documents – Valid passports for foreign shareholders and directors or Indonesian national ID cards (KTP) for locals are required.
-
Domicile Letter – Issued by the local sub-district office, this verifies the legal address of the company’s registered office.
-
Taxpayer Identification Number (NPWP) – Needed for taxation purposes, obtained through the local tax office.
-
Business Identification Number (NIB) – Issued through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system, this serves as the company’s official business license.
-
Shareholders’ and Directors’ Statements – Declarations regarding company operations, compliance, and appointment of directors and commissioners.
Preparing these documents accurately ensures a successful and timely company registration in Indonesia.

Posted in the topic Types of Corporate Structures for Company Registration in the British Virgin Islands in the forum Off-Topic DiscussionsJune 4, 2025 12:08 AM PDT
The British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a popular offshore jurisdiction known for its flexible corporate laws and tax-neutral environment. When registering a company in the BVI, businesses can choose from several corporate structures, each designed to suit different operational and ownership needs.
The most common structure is the BVI Business Company (BC), formerly known as the International Business Company (IBC). This entity is widely favored for its minimal reporting requirements, confidentiality, and flexibility in ownership and management. It can be limited by shares, by guarantee, or by both, and is suitable for a variety of commercial activities.
Another option is the Limited Partnership (LP), typically used for investment funds and private equity structures. LPs consist of at least one general partner and one limited partner, providing asset protection and tax planning advantages.
Segregated Portfolio Companies (SPCs) are available for businesses needing asset segregation, such as mutual funds or insurance entities. They allow the creation of multiple segregated portfolios within one legal entity, each with its assets and liabilities.
Public Companies, while less common, are used when listing on stock exchanges and are subject to stricter regulatory requirements.
Each structure offers distinct benefits, making the BVI a versatile jurisdiction for international business and investment activities.
