Franchise License – Who is it for and what are the benefits
A franchise scheme is one of the best investments to be done in Indonesia to start up your business because, through franchising, you don’t have to worry about things related to the business strategy. The franchisors will be responsible in terms of planning, the operating system and the business strategy of the franchise, so you only need to carry out the operational system and procedures that have been informed by you when agreeing to the franchise business cooperation.
As easy as it sounds, starting a franchising business in Indonesia will also require you to adhere to Indonesia laws, as mandated through Peraturan Menteri Perdagangan (Ministry of Trade) No. 31/M-DAG/PER/8/2008 regarding the Implementation of Franchising. Both Franchisors and Franchisees must obtain a Franchise License or STPUW in order to set up a franchise business in Indonesia.
STPUW (Surat Tanda Pendaftaran Waralaba) acts as legal evidence that Franchisee has officially registered their names under the franchise agreement.
As a market-leading business consultancy in Indonesia, Licensing Id helps your franchise business to acquire the STPUW license, ensuring an efficient process and zero hassle when opening a franchise in Indonesia.
