Quick answer

What is Indoscale's market set-up programme? A turnkey, roughly nine-month establishment programme that gives your Singapore company an operational Indonesian base: trademark registration, a wholly-owned PT PMA, import/export licences, BPOM registration for up to five SKUs, executed Indonesia-specific agreements and vetted partners. It is designed around the MRA Overseas Market Set-up pillar (up to 70% support, capped at S$30,000), and every eligible activity ends in claim evidence.

Grant-aligned by design

Every eligible activity ends in claim evidence

Work is designed around the 1 April 2026 MRA supportable-activity and deliverable requirements — so completing the project also completes your claim file.

Delivery model

Boots on the ground, one accountable partner

Singapore and Jakarta teams manage dependencies, advisors, agencies, partners and evidence through one integrated plan. We source suitable partners through our network, verify fit, maintain the evidence trail and follow up until actions are closed or escalated.

  • Singapore client lead — single point of accountability, decision and escalation management, grant-aligned evidence review
  • Jakarta execution team — local regulatory coordination; notary, IP and BPOM workflows; agency clarifications and partner meetings
  • Shared control tower — integrated workplan and RACI, weekly status and issue log, document and version control

Accountability loop: assign → evidence → follow up → escalate → close, with owners and dates visible.

FAQ

Market set-up, answered

What is included in the market set-up programme?

Six connected workstreams: trademark registration in Indonesia, PT PMA company incorporation, import/export licensing, BPOM product registration for up to five SKUs, drafting and execution of Indonesia-specific agreements, and partner due diligence with follow-up — all under one workplan and evidence pack.

How long does it take to set up in Indonesia?

A full establishment programme typically runs around nine months. Trademark and PT PMA incorporation start first, followed by licensing, BPOM dossiers, agreements and diligence. Authority processing times can shift individual workstreams — that's exactly what our dependency management is for.

What is a PT PMA?

A PT PMA (Perseroan Terbatas Penanaman Modal Asing) is Indonesia's limited liability company for foreign investment — the standard legal vehicle for a Singapore company to own and operate a business in Indonesia. Read our full PT PMA guide.

Which MRA pillar covers market set-up?

The Overseas Market Set-up pillar supports market entry activities — overseas entity incorporation, IP registration, tax structure planning, import/export licensing, trade credit insurance and agreement drafting — at up to 70% of eligible costs, capped at S$30,000 per new market. The Singapore applicant must own the IP being registered and hold the PT PMA shares.

Do I need an Indonesian partner to own a company in Indonesia?

Many sectors allow 100% foreign ownership through a PT PMA, but some sectors on Indonesia's investment lists carry foreign-ownership caps. We confirm the right KBLI business classifications and ownership structure before incorporation, so there are no surprises at deed stage.
