What gets expensive

PMA problems usually start with a cheap structure.

Template deed first

A cheap incorporation can miss ownership, sector, visa, and future investor realities.

Ownership is unclear

Nominee arrangements, informal control, or unclear share plans become hard to defend later.

Licences do not match activity

OSS, KBLI, tax profile, and actual business operations need to tell one story.

Future changes are painful

Shareholder changes, exits, and restructuring are harder when the first setup was not planned.

What you get

A company structure that supports the next move.

01

Choose the right structure

Map ownership, sector, licences, capital, and operating reality before filing.

02

Reduce cleanup risk

Avoid avoidable mismatch between deed, OSS, tax, banking, and visa context.

03

Know the next steps

Get a clear sequence for setup, cleanup, restructuring, or governance.

04

Build for future moves

Make shareholder changes, hiring, investor review, and eventual exit less painful.

Why Pathmaker

We treat PT PMA as market entry architecture.

Incorporation is only one part of the system. We connect ownership, licensing, banking, visas, tax, and future restructuring before the entity is built.

Architecture-first

We design around how the company will operate, not only around filing a deed.

Risk mapping before execution

We identify likely licensing, ownership, visa, and tax friction before commitments.

Written scope

You know what we handle, what you provide, and where extra work may appear.

Compliance posture

The goal is a defensible entity that can handle banking, investors, and inspections.

Pricing

Start from the structure scenario closest to today.

Prices are starting points. We confirm exact scope after reviewing sector, ownership, licences, current documents, and any urgent constraints.

For predictable company structure

Ongoing governance & board support

For teams that need clean board records, resolutions, routine filings, and governance rhythm.

FAQ

Common PT PMA questions.

What is the difference between authorized capital, paid-up capital, and investment value?

Authorized capital is the ceiling stated in the articles of association. Paid-up capital is the actual shareholder equity injected into the company. Investment value is the total business plan scale recorded in OSS and used for investment licensing benchmarks.

Is the PMA capital requirement IDR 2.5 billion or IDR 10 billion?

PT PMA planning usually needs to consider both: minimum paid-up capital and the larger investment value requirement per business category. We clarify how this applies to your sector and operating model before setup.

What are the main ongoing compliance obligations?

Common obligations include monthly and annual tax reporting, LKPM investment reports, proper accounting records, employee compliance where relevant, and maintaining licences that match real activity.

Can an Investor KITAS holder actually work?

Investor KITAS is generally for management and oversight, not hands-on technical work. If day-to-day work is needed, the route may require a working KITAS and manpower compliance.

Can you fix a PT PMA that was set up by another provider?

Yes. We start with a health check across deed, OSS, licences, tax profile, ownership, and governance, then propose the cleanest remediation sequence.

What should I prepare before the first call?

For a new setup, prepare your business model, ownership plan, sector, and timeline. For an existing entity, prepare the latest deed, OSS/NIB, NPWP, licences, and known issues.

Ready before the deed is drafted
