In Indonesia, a domestic company is known as a PT PMDN (Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Dalam Negeri), though it is usually just referred to as a standard PT.Unlike a PT PMA (which allows foreign ownership), a domestic PT is 100% owned and funded by Indonesian citizens or local legal entities. It is the most common, flexible, and cost-effective business entity for local entrepreneurs.Key Characteristics of a Domestic PT100% Local Ownership: All shareholders, directors, and commissioners must be Indonesian nationals or Indonesian-owned companies.Limited Liability: Shareholders are only liable up to the value of the shares they own. Your personal assets are legally protected if the company faces debt or legal issues.No Foreign Ownership Allowed: If a foreign individual or entity wants to buy even 1% of the company's shares in the future, the company must be converted into a PT PMA.Business Activities: A domestic PT has access to almost all business sectors in Indonesia, including those explicitly closed or restricted to foreigners under the Positive Investment List.Company Scales & Capital RequirementsThe capital requirements and classification of a domestic PT depend on its size.
