​​Representative Office- Who is it for

​For international businesses considering expansion into Indonesia, establishing a representative office is an ideal entry strategy. This office allows for oversight of operations, market research, and coordination without significant investment, making it perfect for exploring opportunities in the Indonesian market. 

While it does not engage in revenue generation, business transactions, or import/export activities, a representative office facilitates obtaining work permits for expatriate managers and multiple business visas for staff. It's often used for preliminary market research or assessing the viability of a business model before establishing a PT PMA (foreign-owned limited liability company). 

​​The primary benefits of establishing this business entity are as follows: ​

• It is straightforward to set up. 
• No substantial investments or paid-up capital are required. 
• There is significantly less paperwork as you will only need to report income tax for the employees as well as office space tax 
• For more information on setting up a representative's office or any related matters, please contact the Trident Treehouse Team. We are ready to assist you.
