Hi Sumatra how are you ? firstly if you would like open business in Bali you should to know what is the local prices of rental the shop, local guide may I say as I know if you open shop base on what kind of business you like to open ? and have you research the cost of living in Bali is so high above average the other Indonesian living . So please look and do your research on basis local business as people in Bali and most of Indonesian love to negotiate before they purchase anything . So important basic if you know what Bali people and Indonesian culture from then make a lot of friends of the local. ALl the best for your business. Check to to your nearest Indonesian Embassy and Indonesia Consulate .cheers
To setup a company, like a C.V. (Commanditaire Vennootschap) you don't need much. A notary deed should be enough. Even foreigners can invest in some way in a C.V., or a C.V. can hire foreigners (Kitas)
I guess that for every type business there would be specific needs...
Property taxes are very very low compared to the "west".....

By the way think of open business in Bali ..have you consider to say make a survey like visiting Bali first as a tourist and check around what people do like like food or maybe owning accomodation and open for tourist for like bed and breakfast .or if you really like outdoor activity ..try to know hows to make monies from say if the tourist like to go to hiking, maybe doing some walking in national park . like a tour guide people love that .

A small shop shouldn't be too much. From 5 million to 30 million rupiah a year, depending an size and location.
The new shops across Hardy's in Singaraja were 12 or 20, can't remember...
Depending on where what if, you should have not too much startup costs...

I have a advise for you cause open a business in Bali if you with your family reconsidering live in Bali please rather than rental your home so expensive there they charging so much price for foreigners .. much preffer you own your home and get a local people who you trust to give u a guide . House in Bali approx around Rupiah 60,000,000 ...if you rent said cause you are foreigner they will charge like Rupiah 2,000,000 per months i mean cmon this is ridiculous.and if you dont mind check it the way they live i know this kinda indonesian /balinese cause i have half dutch half bali mom married with chinese dad.. and i am born in indonesia hows multicultural is this.
That's a great price Bert, I think we can do that and thanks Chin, for the suggestion, we did visit Bali last February 07. We couldn't wait to move to Bali. Also we are very nervous cuz we have to start all over again and still trying to find a good health insurance in bali.

As an example, selling about 5 sarongs a day, with a profit of 10.000 each, would get the costs covered.
You can eat your next sarong profits of that day
The Cost goes to Medical Practicioner if you feel a bit of colours ( dokter people say in Bali or Indonesian ) around Rupiah 12,000 to 15,000 per visit and you have to know and come around what time the Docter practice open . and when you go to chemist (apotek ) the price of medicine its not too expensive . In Indonesia Antibiotic / penicilin (Amoxylin ) its sell free different from others country u need prescribe . If say u need transportation cheaper by public transportation ( angkutan umum ) . Live in Bali they know food such as Rice so popular the rest of the food is garnish . Plenty coffee shop in Bali and Warung Internet ( public internet ) maybe around Rupiah 8000 per hour so cheap yup re internet. "
In Indonesia or Bali we dont all citizen include foreigners should to pay their own medical or visit to Medical Practicioner .. as i mentioned above the cost of Dokter expensive for average Balinese and Indonesian so many people used alternative medicine herbal ( Jamu medicine in java they use) . So if you feel a bit sick just look at Yellow pages what kinda dokter or even the Dentist you have to pay your self .so no reimbursement here whilst you pay u can not get your monies back. And if you planning to give good education to your children i much prefer look to the best option you can get as education so important for children .
Dentist in Indonesia or Bali usually around $35,000 per visit and they will do your filling or check your teeth ... thats what they charged me anyway when i was in Bali just ask the other people around how much he/she charge for Dentist before you make an appointment. For Angkutan Umum ( transportation ) i much prefer buy a car there like KIJANG ( toyota four wheel drive) u could carry up to 8 people and whatever you want to load into your car ..around Rupiah 45,000,000 and this car very reliable .
