National Legal Services Entrepreneurs Become Frontline in Helping Business Owners Realise Their Ventures
JAKARTA — The Directorate General of General Legal Administration (Ditjen AHU) of the Ministry of Law, alongside the Ministry of Investment and Downstreaming/BKPM, has announced the implementation of the 2025 Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification (KBLI) on the AHU Online and Online Single Submission (OSS) systems, effective from 15 June 2026.
Ditjen AHU explained that the implementation of KBLI 2025 is part of the latest business field classification for business entity administration services and risk-based business licensing. Based on this announcement, all applications for the establishment of legal entities, such as Limited Liability Companies (PT), Individual Companies, and Cooperatives, as well as non-legal entities, such as Civil Partnerships, Firms, and Limited Partnerships (CV), submitted from 15 June 202<0xC2>6, must use the codes and business activity descriptions according to KBLI 2025.
“Starting 15 June 2026, the 2025 KBLI will be officially applied to the AHU Online System and the OSS System,” wrote Ditjen AHU on its social media account.
Furthermore, applications for amendments to the articles of association or changes to the objectives and business activities submitted by PT, Cooperatives, Individual Companies, Civil Partnerships, Firms, and CVs from that date must also adjust their business activity codes and descriptions based on KBLI 2025.
The government urges business actors to pay attention to these new provisions and ensure that their business legality complies with the latest regulations. Through the post, Ditjen AHU also reminded the public and business actors to note the implementation of KBLI 2025 to avoid obstacles in the process of establishment or data changes through notaries.
Meanwhile, the General Chairperson of the National Legal Services Business Association (PJLN), Didit Sandra, emphasised that amidst the government’s push to accelerate the growth of MSMEs and investment, the association asserts its role as the frontline in helping entrepreneurs manage business establishment, licensing, and tax compliance.
This assistance covers everything from selecting business forms—such as PT, CV, or Foundations—to creating Business Identification Numbers (NIB), Corporate Taxpayer Identification Numbers (NPWP Badan), Halal certification, and annual tax return reporting. The association aims to reduce the time and bureaucracy that have long been primary complaints for new entrepreneurs through standardised and digitalised assistance systems.
The association regularly holds webinars and tax clinics so that business actors understand their obligations, avoid fines, and utilise available tax incentives. They are also expanding their network across all provinces in Indonesia to ensure service standards are consistent, transparent, and affordable for everyone from MSMEs to large corporations.
Didit Sandra added, “Legality is not merely an administrative requirement. It is the foundation for businesses to scale up, access funding, and gain market trust. We are here to ensure that no entrepreneur is hindered by legality and tax matters.”
The association targets assisting hundreds of new business actors and 500 MSMEs to upgrade their legal status this year. Flagship programmes include “Legality in 3 Days” and the “PJLN Tax Socialisation: Corporate Tax Reaches the Villages” initiative.
He continued, stating that the association officially represents providers of business establishment services, licensing, and tax consultants throughout Indonesia, committed to professional service, transparent costs, and compliance with the latest regulations from the Ministry of Law, BKPM, and the Directorate General of Taxes, all within the bounds of the law and recognised by the government and stakeholders.
