Business Activities for KP3A
KP3As can act as the parent company’s selling, manufacturing, and buying agent in Indonesia. The parent company may also delegate tasks related to establishing branch offices in Indonesian cities to its KP3A.
However, because representative offices cannot generate income in Indonesia or issue invoices, all transactions should be under the parent company’s name.
Opening a KP3A is a good choice for a company with plans to create a network of agents and distributors in Indonesia.
