DMS Group/Our services
Everything you need to enter and grow in Indonesia.
Legal setup, product registration, distribution, marketing and talent — delivered by one group that runs its own businesses in Indonesia. Use a single service, or let us handle your entire market entry.
Each service can be used on its own or combined into a full market-entry programme with a single point of contact.
01
Set up
Legal services & incorporation
Indonesia has specific rules for foreign companies. We take you through the full legal path — from checking whether your activity is open to foreign ownership to a registered, compliant company.
