Company Formation Surabaya — PT Registration, AHU Approval & OSS Licensing
Integra Law Office guides company formation in Surabaya from start to finish — drafting articles of association, coordinating with notaries, obtaining AHU approval, and securing the NIB through OSS RBA.
Establishing a company in East Java's business centre.
Surabaya is the gateway to East Java's economy — home to thousands of active PTs across industrial zones in Rungkut, Margomulyo, and Jabon. Each year, thousands of new companies register here, leveraging the city's strategic location near Tanjung Perak port and the Trans-Java toll network.
Company formation in Indonesia is governed by the Company Law (UU 40/2007) and the Job Creation Law (UU 6/2023). The process involves drafting articles of association before a notary, obtaining Ministry of Law and Human Rights approval through AHU Online, and registering for a NIB through the OSS RBA system.
Mistakes during company formation — articles that do not match the business model, ownership structures that constrain growth, or missed licensing steps — can cause serious problems later. We make sure your legal foundation is correct from day one.

Legal framework for company formation in Indonesia.
UU 40/2007 requires a PT to be established by at least 2 founders. The articles of association must cover the company name, domicile, purpose, duration, capital, and organ structure. The deed must be executed before a notary and approved by the Minister of Law and Human Rights.
PP 5/2021 on Risk-Based Business Licensing requires every PT to register for a NIB through OSS as the business actor identity. The NIB is a prerequisite for sectoral licences, bank accounts, and fiscal facilities.
