A General Overview of Indonesian Company Law

Corporate Law Series - Part 1

Background

The Mechanism of Company Law in Indonesia

In the practice of corporate law in Indonesia, a company can be divided into two types, which are the Legal Entity Businesses and Non-Legal Entity Businesses (or commonly known as Business Entity).

A legal entity recognises the separation of assets between its founders and the established entity, while a business entity does not. Establishing a legal entity requires the approval from several government bodies/agencies, while establishing a business entity are less bureaucratic procedures.

In the Indonesian economic system the most commonly used as business vehicles is a business entity in the form of a small business or an individual business entity.

Regulations governing the business entity in the form of a small business or an individual business entity can be found in the Code of Commerce (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Dagang/KUHD Wetboek van Koophandel/WvK) and the Civil Code (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Perdata/KUHPerdata Burgerlijk Wetboek/BW) inherited from Dutch colonialism, which are applied in Indonesia based on the principle of Concordance and most of its legal provisions still prevail.
