Why Choose Bali for Your Business?

Bali is not only a world-renowned tourist destination but also a burgeoning hub for business opportunities. Here’s why Bali is an ideal location for your PT PMA:

What is a PT PMA?

A PT PMA (Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing) is a foreign-owned limited liability company in Indonesia. This business structure allows foreign investors to own 100% of the company, making it ideal for international entrepreneurs looking to establish a foothold in Bali.

• Legal Protection: PT PMAs offer legal protection and limited liability to shareholders.
• Investment Opportunities: Bali’s growing economy and booming tourism sector present numerous opportunities for investment and growth.
• Access to Local and International Markets: As a PT PMA, your business can operate seamlessly within Indonesia and expand to international markets.
