European Business Center (EBC) offers a smart, low-risk solution to help foreign companies enter and grow in the Indonesian market — without the need to establish a local legal entity.
With EBC, you gain:
Whether you’re exploring the Indonesian market or scaling your operations, EBC gives you the flexibility and speed to grow efficiently and professionally.
For over 100 years, we’ve been trusted by leading global companies across various industries. Our legacy in delivering business and market entry solutions sets us apart as a reliable partner for your expansion into Indonesia.
With deep expertise in the Indonesian market, our dedicated team provides on-the-ground support tailored to your company’s needs — from operational assistance to employee onboarding and local compliance.
Operated by the German-Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AHK Indonesia / EKONID) — the largest European chamber in Indonesia — we connect you with a trusted, influential network of business leaders, stakeholders, and government partners.
Fast Market Entry
EBC allows your company to establish a presence in Indonesia within 48 hours — without the complexities or risks of setting up a legal entity. We employ local staff on your behalf under fully compliant contracts.
Cost-Efficient & Compliant
Save up to 60% compared to establishing a local company. EBC handles payroll, taxes, benefits, and regulatory compliance — all with full in-house support.
Companies using our office spaces can list our Chamber address as their official business address for the duration of the EBC agreement.
No. EBC-recruited employees support your business through marketing and promotional activities only. Sales transactions and contractual agreements remain handled by your company’s head office.
Yes. We deduct individual income taxes from employee payroll each month and ensure full compliance with Indonesian tax regulations. In addition to employee taxes, our monthly invoices include the “employer’s burden” — mandatory contributions required by the government, such as social security and other public programs.
Our in-house experts will calculate the exact amounts based on each employee’s salary, keep you informed on local payment requirements, and provide a clear, detailed breakdown in every invoice.
There are no termination fees. We follow local labor law, which requires a standard 30-day notice period for ending employment.
Under the EBC model, only local employees can be hired. Since EBC does not constitute a legal entity in Indonesia, foreign employee recruitment is not permitted.
