Company Restructuring for PT PMA in Bali

November 21, 2025

Starting a PT PMA in Bali is a big achievement for many foreign investors, especially those who have decided to stay longer on the island. But what happens when things need to change? Maybe a partner wants to leave, and you’d like to bring in new shareholders, or your business activities are expanding beyond what you originally planned.

Changes like this are common, but there’s also a challenge: your company’s legal structure must always match reality. That’s why understanding company restructuring for PT PMA in Bali is so important.

Let us explain further…

Company Restructuring for a PT PMA

Company restructuring for a PT PMA refers to making formal changes to a company’s structure, ownership, or activities and updating them with the relevant Indonesian authorities. This could involve:

Adding, removing, or transferring shares between owners.

Appointing or replacing the people in charge of company management and oversight.

Expanding or adjusting the company’s scope of business (KBLI codes).

Moving to a new office.

Many foreign investors assume that something simple like changing a company address, for instance, shouldn’t cost much. But in reality, company restructuring involves notarial work, updated legal documents, and changes in the government’s OSS system. Each step must be done properly to keep your company compliant.

ℹ️ Company restructuring is often more complex—and more important—than it first seems.

Therefore, all these changes must be reported and legalised to maintain the company’s good standing with the BKPM (Investment Coordinating Board) and other relevant institutions.

Step-by-Step Process for a Foreign Company Restructuring

To give you a clearer picture, here’s what the process for a foreign company restructuring typically looks like from start to finish.

1. Consultation & planning

Start with a focused session—ideally with a local business consulting agency such as Usaha Expat—to map out what you’re changing, why, and how it affects compliance. You’ll clarify timelines, costs, documents, and which authorities must be notified.

For instance, you want to change your company address.

Before doing anything, suggest conducting due diligence to verify whether the land/building’s zoning is eligible for your company’s registered address and aligns with KBLI activities.

2. Document preparation

Gather and align all corporate records plus any supporting documents (e.g., new lease or ownership proof, landlord consent, building/use approvals for an address change). Consistency of names, addresses, and numbers across all files is crucial to avoid rejections.

3. Notarial process & deed amendments

We will proceed with a notary drafting the deed of amendment and recording the shareholder decision. You review, sign, and the notary legalises the changes.

4. Government filings & system updates

We will update the new NIB and relevant licenses/permits, and any related government systems, so your data matches the new structure. For instance, in an address change, we also need to update the tax office records because a new address can shift your supervising tax office. Therefore, it is also our responsibility to ensure that other sectoral permits reflect the new details.

ℹ️ These steps take deep coordination and is why restructuring isn’t “just paperwork.”
