Company Wind Up in Indonesia

Liquidation, or the winding up of a company, is a process during which a company’s assets are seized and realized – that is, converted into cash. This money is typically then used to pay off the company’s debts and liabilities.

The process ensures a fair distribution of a company’s assets between its creditors, members, and shareholders, and results in the termination of the company’s existence once all debts and liabilities have been paid.

Pursuant to Article 142 par. (1) of Law no. 40 Year 2007 regarding Limited Liability Law, liquidation may happen due to:

  1. A decision made in a General Meeting of Shareholders (“GMS”);
  2. The expiration of the incorporation period determined in the articles of association;
  3. A court ordered decision;
  4. On a revocation of bankruptcy pursuant to a decision of the commercial court which has absolute legal effect, the company’s bankruptcy asset is not insufficient to pay the bankruptcy cost;
  5. The asset which has been declared bankrupt is in insolvency as regulated by Insolvency Law; or
  6. The revocation of the company’s business permit, forcing the company to be liquidated in accordance with the regulation.

The appointment of the liquidator shall be determined by the GMS or, in the event of the GMS does not appoint any liquidator, the director of the company. The liquidator will sell the company’s asset priced by the independent appraisal, then allocate the income to any existing creditors of the company. If there is leftover balance, it will be shared with shareholders in accordance with the share ownership structure or by an agreement made by and between shareholders.

Furthermore, for any shareholder assets not registered as a company asset, in the event of a company wind up, this asset will be returned to the owner or shareholder as long as he or she is able to prove ownership.

We at Schinder Law Firm have experience assisting many clients in the process of winding up companies. Should you require further information on this subject, or need our services for winding up, please feel free to let us know.

Dear valued Visitor,

Data is a valuable currency in this new world. In the midst of digital transformation, the Indonesian government has taken the final decision to pass the Pelindungan Data Pribadi (PDP) Bill by September 2022. The PDP Law applies to all businesses established in Indonesia and puts the consumer in control. The task of complying with this regulation falls upon businesses.

The PDP Law affects a variety of business operations, including how your sales team prospect and how marketing initiatives are managed. Businesses have had to reassess their business procedures, applications, and forms.
