The 5 Best Company Registration Services in Bali That Will Make Your Dream Business Legit
I’ve always been into arts and crafts, and I’m thankful that I am because my interest has earned me tons of friends. One of them is a talented American jewelry maker I met at Ubud Market, and I was sad every time she had to leave the country.
Yet one day, she reached out to me and shared some good news—she has saved up and wants to stay here for good. But to make that happen, she has to relocate her business permanently and secure legitimate help to kickstart this process.
I told her not to worry because I can help her find the best company registration services in Bali. After thorough research, we’ve narrowed it down to these reliable options below.
How much do company registration services cost in Bali?
Company registration services in Bali typically cost IDR 500,000 (USD 30) for basic PT Perorangan (sole proprietorship) to IDR 60 million (USD 3,600) for full foreign-owned PT PMA setups. This depends on the ownership (local vs. PMA), number of shareholders, and other add-ons.

Emerhub is a Bangkok-based, Indonesia-focused startup company service. Formerly known as Indodight, they were founded in Jakarta in 2011 to help foreign companies in entering the country.
In 2016, they rebranded to their current name. They also showed their ability to scale by opening offices across Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
Service-wise, they can handle legal, tax, and compliance matters, among others, for foreign entrepreneurs. For us, this extensive expertise enables us to advise businesses over the long term.
This process applies to those who want to set up a PT PMA (a foreign-owned limited liability company), purchase land or villas under their company, and obtain long-term business visas and work permits.
In addition, they invested heavily in their remote hiring software (RecruitGo), which helps companies build teams in emerging markets. We think this is handy for first-timers as well.
They have even moved registration mostly online, so you can pick business activities, fill in details in a webform, and track and get documents via their online portal.
If interested, note that Emerhub’s pricing starts at around IDR 28.5 million (USD 1,700) for basic incorporation. Additional basic compliance costs will spike it to approximately IDR 37.5 million (USD 2,249). Just remember that these prices are in the mid-to-higher range for serious foreign companies.
Strongly recommended for those who need company registration
“Such a great company to work with, I would strongly recommend them to anyone in Bali who needs a VISA, work permits, company registration, etc. Thanks to Reda and his team, keep up the good work.”

Bali Business Consulting is a local company founded by a visa specialist that has helped foreigners start and run businesses in Bali since 2011. They have offices in Kuta, Canggu, and Bukit for great accessibility.
They position themselves as a full-service partner for foreigners seeking to establish a lasting business in Bali, obtain a long-stay visa, and/or purchase property.
We find it incredible that the team has handled over 1,000 companies, giving them the skills needed to spot common problems early. They also have strong relationships with government offices, which we believe pushes paperwork faster.
People we interviewed noted that the crew here is fluent in English, enabling them to clearly explain Indonesian rules and options to foreigners.
You don’t have to worry much about their fees either. They are in the mid- to standard range. Basic PT registration costs around IDR 5 to 10 million (USD 300 to 600), while full PT PMA costs roughly around IDR 20 to 40 million (USD 1,200 to 2,400).
But unlike other modern agencies, they don’t advertise a sophisticated online client portal where you can see all documents or progress in real time.
Everything is managed more through WhatsApp, email, and in-person meetings, which can be less convenient for some.
Everything is on time, and they are always nice and friendly
“This agency is a recommended place for visa extensions, KITAS, company registration and business consultations for Bali. I’ve been working with them for few years already, everything is in time and girls who work there are always nice and friendly!”

3. CCI Consulting Business & Legal Services

Business Hours:

- Sat-Sun: Closed
CCI Consulting Business & Legal Services is a Bali legal and business firm founded in 1997. They primarily help expats set up companies, obtain visas, and purchase property here through a single team in Sanur.
As the team has helped set up over 500 companies, we believe they already possess deep local knowledge of how the system really works.
Over the years, they have expanded into more structured services too. This includes standardized company packages with clear inclusions, as well as deeper tax and financial bundles.
In addition to having 30 consultants, it’s impressive that their staff can speak many languages. This includes English, French, Mandarin, and Russian, making communication with foreign nationals easier.
However, keep in mind that they are not the cheapest local office, though they are not the most expensive Jakarta-based firm either.
Their prices are in the mid-to-higher range for serious, full-service Bali firms. Basic company fees are typically IDR 10 to 15 million (USD 600 to 900), while company setup costs are IDR 25 to 50 million (USD 1,500 to 3,000).
Additionally, a business owner we spoke with noted that the process can be slow at times. To be fair, he had some messy documents that might have stretched his own timeline to 4 to 6 weeks.
Very professional and gave us good, precise advice
“The tean were very profesional and gave us good precise advice on some HR and company registration and shareholder structures.”

4. InCorp Indonesia An Ascentium Company
Address: Jl. Raya Kuta No.32, Kuta, Kec. Kuta, Kabupaten Badung
Contact Details:

Business Hours:

- Sat-Sun: Closed
InCorp is a corporate services firm that helps foreign nationals set up mid- to large-scale businesses in Bali. This company is part of InCorp Group, a Singapore-based corporate services group founded in 2015.
The team now operates in Jakarta, Singapore, and other major cities. This made them well-positioned to help thousands of companies from Asia, Europe, and the US enter Indonesia.
It’s even more impressive that they are experienced across multiple industries, including hospitality and the creative industries. Entrepreneurs in these sectors receive assistance with setting up foreign companies, immigration support, and payroll.
But what we appreciate more is that they have expanded into more structured bundles. This includes starter packages and online tools to provide clients with a step-by-step, corporate-style process.
With the company’s extensive experience, they are ideal for people who want to open a proper business in Bali but don’t want to build a full legal, HR, or tax team from scratch.
If you are exploring their services, their fees range from IDR 10 to 15 million (USD 600 to 900). Meanwhile, their full package costs roughly IDR 35 to 60 million (USD 2,100 to 3,600). Compared with others, these are on the mid-to-higher end.
However, they are not always the fastest for last-minute emergencies. The staff uses structured processes and often needs to coordinate with multiple notaries and government offices.
Incredibly knowledgeable on all aspects of business setup and registration
“I had a great meeting with Valentina who was incredibly knowledgable on all aspects of business set up and registration in Indonesia. She was able to accurately advise me on all aspects of business in Indonesia and I was really grateful for her professional insight, it has taken me years to find someone as knowledgable as her.”

5. Legal Indonesia

Legal Indonesia positions itself as a full-service legal and business setup agency, not just a visa shop. They were established in 2019 by the team behind BaliForum, Indonesia’s biggest travel community.
Additionally, the company operates from Kuta/Seminyak (Sunset Road), a central, tourist-friendly area near many expat-oriented businesses. We believe these reasons help them understand the needs of foreign visitors to Bali.
It’s more impressive that a single team can deliver comprehensive, end-to-end services. Notable services include company registration, bank account opening, accounting, and ongoing legal support.
You will need to speak with their staff directly for pricing specifics, but former clients we spoke with say their fees are in line with or slightly above the mid-range of Bali agencies.
We also love their almost 24/7 availability via messaging app, which is useful for time-zone-challenged foreigners. Additionally, a single point of contact for both visa and company matters reduces coordination issues.
Just one drawback, though: While they communicate mainly in English, a few complain that their explanations can feel a tad bureaucratic if you are only a first-time entrepreneur.
For us, it’s best to double-check with an independent tax advisor or other experts for complex situations.
Replies promptly to any question and provides all available options
“I travel a lot and every year part-time spend in Indonesia in Bali. Based on my experience- Legal Indonesia is one of the best service companies in Bali. They create your personal account in their system where you can check visas status and all of your history. Manager, every time, remind you about expectations and quite promptly reply on any questions. They provide all available options for Indonesia visas, like KITAS, D1, D2, and company registration service. Highly recommended this professional company!”
