When it comes to setting up a business in Indonesia, navigating the licensing process can be complex. That's where OSS (Online Single Submission) comes in. The OSS system was first introduced in July 2018 under Government Regulation No. 24 of 2018, as part of Indonesia’s broader effort to streamline the business licensing process and improve the ease of doing business.
The OSS system allows businesses to apply for and manage various permits through a centralized online platform, making the entire process more efficient, transparent, and easier to navigate.
Key Features of OSS
- One-Stop Licensing Platform
The OSS system offers a centralized platform for submitting applications, tracking permit progress, and receiving approvals. Whether you need a business license, location permit, or even environmental approvals, everything can be handled in one place, drastically simplifying the process for businesses. - Comprehensive Coverage
Whether you're looking to obtain a business license, location permit, or specific approvals for industries such as construction, OSS can handle it all. The platform is designed to cover a wide range of business sectors, ensuring that all legal requirements are met for every type of enterprise. - Risk-Based Licensing Approach
Under Government Regulation No. 5 of 2021, OSS applies a risk-based approach to business licensing. Low-risk businesses can benefit from a simpler process, while high-risk industries are subject to more thorough scrutiny to ensure they meet safety and regulatory standards. - Efficiency & Transparency
One of the major benefits of OSS is how it reduces the time and effort involved in obtaining business licenses. Instead of dealing with multiple government agencies, businesses can now use OSS for all their administrative needs, creating a more transparent process.
