What Is OSS Business Licensing in Indonesia?

OSS business licensing is the process used to administer business registration and licensing under Indonesia's Risk-Based Business Licensing framework. The required legal documents are not necessarily the same for every business. Requirements depend on factors such as the business activity and KBLI, risk classification, business scale, location, sector and other applicable requirements.

Risk-Based Approach

Risk Classification Determines Business Licensing

Under Indonesia's Risk-Based Business Licensing framework, the legal documents required for a business activity vary according to its risk level.

Low Risk

NIB

For qualifying low-risk activities, the NIB may constitute the applicable Business License, subject to the relevant obligations.

Medium-Low Risk

NIB + Standard Certificate

The activity may require an NIB and a Standard Certificate in accordance with the applicable licensing mechanism.

Medium-High Risk

Verified Standard

Standard Certificate requirements may involve verification before certain regulated business activities may be carried out.

High Risk

NIB + License

High-risk activities may require an NIB and the relevant Business License before the regulated activity may be conducted.

KBLI Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification

Business Licensing Starts with the Appropriate KBLI

KBLI is more than an administrative code. The classification of the business activity is an important basis for determining risk classification, Business Licensing, requirements, obligations and PB UMKU associated with the activity. The KBLI should therefore be reviewed based on the business activities actually conducted by the company.

Licensing Compliance Review

Already Have an NIB? Your Licensing May Still Need Review

Having an NIB does not necessarily mean that every licensing requirement applicable to the company's business activities has been completed.

Common Misunderstanding

“My Company Already Has an NIB. Does That Mean All Licenses Are Complete?”

Not necessarily. The NIB is an important part of business registration, but the legal documents required depend on the activities and risk classification of each KBLI. A company may still require a Standard Certificate, Business License, PB UMKU, basic requirements or other sector-specific approvals. Licensing status should therefore be reviewed against the activities actually conducted by the business.

Service Fees

How Much Does OSS Business Licensing Cost?

The service fee depends on the type of licensing, number and characteristics of KBLI classifications, risk level, condition of the company's existing documents and the required process.

Risk-Based Business Licensing Framework

Business licensing in Indonesia should be aligned with the applicable regulations, OSS system and sector-specific requirements.

Business Licensing requirements cannot be determined solely from the company's name or a general description of its business sector. The assessment should consider the relevant KBLI, risk classification, business scale, location, corporate structure and the activities actually conducted.
