Starting an IT consulting business in Jakarta can be completed within a few weeks if you follow the proper procedures. The process includes selecting the type of business entity, drafting the deed of establishment, approval from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham), OSS registration to obtain a Business Identification Number (NIB) and risk-based business license, and handling tax matters. With a structured process, your company will operate legally and be ready to compete in the highly competitive technology market.

Choosing a Business Entity
The first step is to choose a business entity. The available options include a CV (Commanditaire Vennootschap) and a Limited Liability Company (PT). A CV is relatively simple but carries personal risk. On the other hand, a PT is more credible, provides legal protection, and is attractive to investors. For IT consultants aiming for professionalism and larger tenders, a PT is the best choice.
To simplify the PT establishment process without handling the documents yourself, you can use the services of Company Incorporation Services from vOffice. With a complete package that includes a bonus virtual office, you can focus on business strategy while the vOffice team takes care of the legal aspects.
Drafting the Deed of Establishment
A notary will prepare the deed of establishment, which includes the articles of association, company name, ownership structure, as well as directors and commissioners. In addition, the founders’ identity documents (KTP, NPWP, etc.) must be attached.
Once the deed is completed, the notary will submit it for approval to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. This process usually takes 3–5 business days.
Using professional services such as vOffice can help ensure the deed of establishment and approval process run quickly and in compliance with legal requirements.
Registration with the OSS System
OSS (Online Single Submission) is the main portal for company registration. Once an account is created, you need to upload the deed of establishment, the approval decree from Kemenkumham, and the NPWP. From there, the company will obtain a Business Identification Number (NIB) as its legal identity and basic license.
Selecting the correct KBLI code is crucial. For IT consultants, KBLI 62020 (computer consultancy) or KBLI 70200 (management consultancy) are the most relevant. OSS will also classify businesses based on their risk level. IT consulting businesses are usually categorized as medium-low to medium-high risk, which requires a standard certificate.

Tax Administration
After obtaining the NIB, the next step is tax registration at the tax office. You will need to handle:
- Corporate NPWP as the company’s tax ID.
- Certificate of Registration (SKT) as official proof.
- VAT-Registered Entrepreneur (PKP) if your turnover exceeds the required threshold for VAT collection.
To avoid missteps in fiscal matters, take advantage of vOffice Tax Consultant Services. With expert assistance, your company will find it easier to comply with tax obligations and avoid penalties.
Operational Preparation
Once the licenses are obtained, prepare the operational aspects: corporate bank account, accounting system, client contracts, and BPJS for employees. Supporting infrastructure such as office space, project management platforms, and collaboration tools should also be in place from the start.
