The Bali Lawyer is a leading business consultancy in Bali, based locally and fully equipped to help you succeed across every stage of your business journey.

Why You Need a Business Consultant in Bali

Bali’s business ecosystem is dynamic and full of opportunity, especially in hospitality, real estate, e-commerce, health, and creative industries. However, the regulatory framework in Indonesia can be complex—especially for foreigners. A business consultant not only saves time and reduces risk but also ensures that your decisions align with both your goals and Indonesian law.

At The Bali Lawyer, we help you:

  • Choose the right legal entity (PT PMA, Local PT, Representative Office)

  • Register your company with the relevant Indonesian authorities

  • Draft and review legal documents and contracts

  • Obtain business and operational licenses

  • Meet ongoing tax and compliance obligations

  • Navigate land ownership and property rental laws

  • Apply for business and investor visas

  • Avoid common pitfalls in the Indonesian legal and regulatory system

Every business in Bali must obtain the proper licenses based on its industry. We identify which licenses you need and handle the application process, ensuring full compliance with current government regulations.
