It is at this point <br>\nthat a business consultant like IndoTrade performs its role by <br>\noffering valued advice, Johan said.<\/p>\n<p>\"Clients have specific, as well as distinctive, reasons for <br>\nseeing a business consultant ... and we are one of the few that <br>\nthey can truly rely on.<\/p>\n<p>\"Our new service allows local investors to go global, since we <br>\nhave prepared everything down to the last detail -- including the <br>\nmost up-to-date data to support their plans,\" he said.<\/p>\n<p>Now, more than ever, IndoTrade is ready to help investors -- <br>\nfrom Indonesia or elsewhere -- in seeking partners overseas, or <br>\nto set up joint venture companies overseas.<\/p>\n<p>IndoTrade has been well-known here among members of the <br>\nbusiness community for its successful record in assisting <br>\nclients, both local and foreign, in starting and expanding <br>\nbusinesses in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>Its expertise includes establishing foreign-investment firms, <br>\nlocal companies, representative offices, licensing and taxation, <br>\nas well as legal advice and other business advice.<\/p>\n<p>There are many reasons why investors select IndoTrade as their <br>\ncorporate and investment consultant.<\/p>\n<p>It offers a one-stop service that includes help in legal, <br>\ntaxation, licensing and investment. It has developed some 500 <br>\nclients worldwide since its initial operation began back in 1990.<\/p>\n<p>With 12 years of experience and six offices in Indonesia, the <br>\ncompany offers very competitive prices and services.<\/p>\n<p>IndoTrade Corporate &amp; Foreign Investment Consultant was <br>\nestablished in Indonesia in 1992 by Johan Bukit. It later changed <br>\nto PT IndoTrade Pratama Konsultan.<\/p>\n<p>The company developed rapidly by setting up investment <br>\ncompanies, foreign direct investments (FDI), domestic investments <br>\n(DDI), representative offices, and portfolio investments.<\/p>\n<p>\"We specialize in advisory services to help foreign <br>\ncorporations understand the legalities of structuring their <br>\ncompanies and investments in Indonesia,\" said Johan.<\/p>\n<p>Until now, IndoTrade has catered to a diverse clientele -- in <br>\nplaces as faraway as the United States, Europe, Africa, and <br>\nelsewhere in Asia.<\/p>\n<p>The businesses range in size from small to medium to <br>\nmultinational.<\/p>\n<p>Their respective lines of business vary from trading, <br>\nmanufacturing and consultation to high-tech engineering, mining <br>\nand financial services, along with government agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Among the clients are Eisen Brothers of Singapore, a global <br>\ntrader dealing with commodities, and Tyco of the U.S., also an <br>\ninternational trading company.<\/p>\n<p>\"IndoTrade always tries to serve its clients at its best, and <br>\nthe result is over 500 companies have been set up through <br>\nIndoTrade since 1992. The clients' success stories are <br>\nIndoTrade's success stories, too.<\/p>\n<p>\"There was a difficult period during 2001, which will likely <br>\ncontinue this year, but IndoTrade is always optimistic -- <br>\ninvestors with sound judgment will always prevail,\" Johan said.<\/p>\n<p>The total value of approved investments in Indonesia dropped <br>\ndrastically last year to US$9.027 million from $14.99 million in <br>\n2000.<\/p>\n<p>The main reason for the decline, according to Johan, was the <br>\nweak and unstable economic, legal and security enforcement <br>\nlocally, coupled with the international shockwaves of the Sept. <br>\n11 terrorist attacks in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\"The outlook for this year, with stable economic growth <br>\nestimated at 3.5 percent or 4.4 percent, investment in the first <br>\nhalf of 2002 will remain as weak as late 2001.<\/p>\n<p>\"A slight increase in size may occur in the second half. <br>\nForeign investors will stay away from Indonesia because of the <br>\ncountry's highly unpredictable business climate,\" he added.<\/p>\n<p>\"However,\" Johan explained, \"there has been strong indication <br>\nthat there are still investors who want to expand, illustrating <br>\nthat the market remains prospectively profitable for the <br>\nconsultancy business.<\/p>\n<p>\"A reliable corporate and foreign investment consultant, <br>\nIndoTrade works as a dynamic professional team with its clients <br>\ntoward the development and successful implementation of business <br>\nfor new companies,\" he added.<\/p>\n<p>The company also runs a web site, www.indonesian-<br>\nadversory.com, which provides information of either <br>\noffshore\/onshore incorporation, legal, taxation and other <br>\ninformation on investing activities.<\/p>\n<p>For further information, contact:<\/p>\n<p>IndoTrade<\/p>\n<p>Menara BCD, 15th Floor,<\/p>\n<p>Jalan Jen.
