Bali Beacon runs the legal setup, licensing, admin, HR and marketing behind your Indonesian business — under one monthly retainer, from an office we own outright in Kerobokan, Bali.
Indonesia posted 5.61% year-on-year GDP growth in Q1 2026 — its fastest pace in more than three years — while the 2026 Positive Investment List now allows 100% foreign ownership across most sectors, including consulting, technology and digital services. The old requirement for a local nominee partner is largely gone. Minimum paid-up capital for a PT PMA has also been cut by 75%, from IDR 10 billion to IDR 2.5 billion, lowering the barrier for small and mid-sized foreign founders to enter formally.
With over 280 million consumers and a digital economy expanding well beyond Java and Bali into secondary cities, the opportunity is real — but so is the bureaucracy. Navigating OSS registration, KBLI codes, tax filing and immigration in a second language is where most foreign founders lose months, and money.
No other Indonesian destination carries Bali's global name recognition. It generates more than half of the country's tourism foreign exchange, and welcomed 6.95 million international visitors in 2025 alone — a figure the government's own "10 New Balis" program is now trying to replicate across Lombok, Labuan Bajo and Lake Toba. For a foreign founder, that means instant familiarity, an established expat and digital nomad economy, and a market that has already proven it can support hospitality, wellness, F&B and creative businesses at scale.
What's changing now is who's arriving: fewer short-stay tourists, more long-term residents, founders and investors turning a holiday impression into an actual business. That's the shift Bali Beacon is built for.
Some of this we run entirely in-house. Some runs through a vetted network of licensed notaries, lawyers and accountants we coordinate on your behalf — because Indonesian law reserves that work for licensed professionals, and we'd rather tell you that upfront than pretend otherwise.
Setup fees for entity formation and KITAS are billed separately, one time. Everything else runs on a predictable monthly retainer.
For founders just getting their entity and admin in order.
For businesses already trading, needing real operational support.
For complex operations spanning Bali and Jakarta.
Virtual office providers can close. Co-working spaces change hands. Leases expire. When any of that happens to your registered domicile, your business can be left stranded mid-renewal, mid-audit, mid-anything.
G88 in Kerobokan is owned outright by our founding family — not leased, not sub-let, not a shared desk under a rotating operator. It's the same address our team has worked from since before Bali Beacon existed, and it will still be here when your KITAS is up for its third renewal.
Bali is where most foreign founders land first, and where our flagship office runs day-to-day operations. Jakarta is where the decisions that matter — BKPM, ministries, corporate banking — actually happen. We work both, so you don't have to choose.
Best for hospitality, F&B, villas, creative agencies and digital nomad founders building lifestyle-driven businesses.
Best for manufacturing, trading, fintech and mid-to-large corporate entities needing government-level coordination.
