Purchasing a business in Bali can be an exciting opportunity, but it’s not without its complexities—especially for foreigners unfamiliar with Indonesian laws and procedures. At Bali Legals, we specialise in helping both locals and expatriates navigate the legal landscape with confidence and ease. Whether you’re buying a café in Canggu, a villa rental business in Ubud, or a retail shop in Seminyak, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
The first crucial step in buying any business is due diligence. We carry out comprehensive checks to ensure the business is legally registered, compliant with regulations, and free of outstanding debts or legal issues. This includes reviewing licenses, business permits, tax records, and any existing contracts. Our goal is to protect your investment and make sure there are no unpleasant surprises after the purchase.
Next, we assist you in setting up the correct legal structure. Most foreign investors will need to establish a PT PMA (Foreign Investment Company) in order to legally operate a business in Indonesia. This process involves dealing with the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), drafting company documents, and securing relevant approvals and licenses. Our experienced legal team handles this process efficiently, ensuring your company is set up correctly from the beginning.
At Bali Legals, we also handle contract drafting and review. From sale agreements and leases to employment contracts and supplier terms, we make sure all legal documents are clear, fair, and in your best interest. Our team ensures that your agreements comply with Indonesian law while protecting your rights as a business owner.
If you’re planning to live in Bali while managing your business, we also offer support with visa and work permit applications. Navigating Indonesia’s immigration rules can be complex, but we’ll help you obtain the right visa—whether it’s a business visa, KITAS, or other permits—so you can focus on running your business without worrying about legal status.
In short, our team at Bali Legals offers a complete, start-to-finish legal service for anyone looking to purchase a business in Bali. With our local knowledge, legal expertise, and personalised approach, we help turn your investment into a secure and successful reality. Let us handle the legal side—so you can focus on building your dream business in Bali.
