Business Licenses Indonesia 2026 | Complete Overview

Q: What is the OSS RBA licensing system?

OSS RBA (Risk-Based Approach) classifies businesses by risk level: low, medium-low, medium-high, and high. Each level requires different permits. Low risk gets NIB only. High risk needs NIB plus full Izin permit with inspections.

Q: Do I need separate licenses for each KBLI code?

Yes. Each KBLI code on your NIB may require its own sectoral permit depending on the risk classification. A restaurant PT PMA might need food safety, environmental, and liquor licenses in addition to NIB.

Q: How long do business licenses take to obtain in Indonesia?

NIB is issued instantly through OSS. Sectoral permits take 2-8 weeks depending on risk level. Environmental permits (AMDAL) can take 3-6 months. Total time from start to fully licensed: 1-4 months for most businesses.
