Opening a construction representative office (BUJKA) in Indonesia
A representative office is an office set up by a company overseas. Representative offices take care of their parent company’s business locally. It’s also an easy way to enter a foreign market.

- ◉ Certificate of Expertise (Sertifikat Keahlian /SKA)
- ◉ Certificate of Business in Constructions (Sertifikat Badan Usaha/SBU)
After getting the preliminary permit, the parent company can proceed with setting up the BUJKA by preparing the following:
- ◉ BUJKA license, obtained from the One Single Submission (OSS))
- ◉ Tax registration
The location of the office of a BUJKA is not specified by the law. You can open a BUJKA office anywhere as long as it is in a commercial building. There is also no set minimum capital requirement for a BUJKA.
Timeline to set up BUJKA
Setting up a BUJKA involves getting some documents together. The timeline in the table below shows how long it would take to establish a BUJKA with Emerhub.

- ◉ Participate in tenders.
The types of projects a BUJKA can work on must be complex, high-risk, and/or highly technical. Only local construction companies can work on smaller projects.

BUJKAs can participate in bidding even if they have not found a local partner for their prospective projects. Additionally, BUJKAs can partner up with different BUJKs for each project.
