Hi Guys, Girls,
Having done research in Bali, soul searching, worked in Indonesia (Jakarta) for 2 projects over the last 2 years, and having finally got married in Bali in August this year, my wife and me are 99% ready to move to the island to live and work permanently.
Having been speaking to many different channels with reference to the type of companies etc whilst being here, i'm confused with all the options and wanted to reach out to you guys and hopefully gain some 'much appreciated' advice.
Current state:
We have done our research on consultancy companies (to help set and establish our company in Indonesia) and we have been advised that our best option would be a PMA company with 51% Indonesian shareholder option. The reason for the 51% local shareholder is that i run a successful recruitment business in Hong Kong which i am looking to launch in Bali. Apparently, a recruitment business cannot be 100% owned, hence the 51% shareholder needed.
Now the questions i have are:
The best quote i have received for setting up the PMA is $3200 (includes all government fees) + $865 per year (for nominee shareholder provided by the company that is setting up our PMA) + 4,500,000.00 for my KITAS + 3,500,000.00 for my wife's KITAS. The quote came from a local company that i'm happy to share with the group if needed.
Does the group know of any other companies in this field that i could speak to that may be able to offer a more competitive service?
Is there any other option to have the ownership 100%?
I am also looking to launch another business in Bali which can operate as a 'promotion company' which I've been told can be 100&. I asked why can’t i have the PMA registered under promotions company and run the recruitment business under it. They told me i would get reported to the government in a heartbeat by my competitors and this would cause big issues.
Is this true and what are the group’s thoughts?
Thank you and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and hopefully helping others out reading this.
