More than simply giving advice

TraceWorthy Consulting specialises in business incubation for people desiring to create a fulfilling future in Indonesia.  We are experts in navigating the complexity of Indonesian Government systems and processes – everything from selecting the right legal structure for foreign investment to negotiating and developing a variety of trade agreements or doing due diligence on land transactions before drafting and executing leases. We even cover taxation and foreign investment reporting.

You do not have to be creating a business in Indonesia to take advantage of our expertise in providing up-to-date and accurate legal advice for living, working and doing business in Indonesia.  Contact our team to discuss your needs today.

Here are some things you need to know if you are considering
investing, working and / or living in Indonesia:

YOU NEED A TEAM YOU CAN TRUST

Things are not always as they seem in a country that is not your own.  Most foreigners do not understand the legal system or the culture that influences it.  The rights you might have at home are not necessarily available to you in Indonesia and enforcing agreements is very difficult.

Also, most of the documents you receive will be in Indonesian language.  Google Translate isn’t very good at interpreting the nuances.

A great consultant can help you navigate this and will provide you with English translations of everything you might need to sign.

ALL EXPERTS ARE NOT EQUAL

There are literally hundreds of “experts” promoting themselves as experienced in providing legal and financial advice, setting up companies and applying for visas.  Some are Indonesian nationals and some are foreigners.  Skill level and accuracy varies immensely.

Many foreigners find themselves in trouble because their “expert” has taken their money and not produced the result they were expecting.  Often, the problem is not discovered until it is too late to repair.

A reputable consultant will be happy to show you their business licenses and will tell you how you can check their legitimacy.

CHEAPER IS NOT BETTER

You can find bargains everywhere, even for lawyers, consultants and agents.  Beware of the low price that comes with hidden extras.  Too many foreigners end up with a legal mess because they went with the less expensive option that didn’t deliver what they bargained for.  Fixing these mistakes are very costly.

A transparent consultant will encourage you to do your research carefully and provide a comprehensive quote on all services promised.

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES ARE EVERYWHERE

Indonesian people are masterful networkers.  Everyone knows someone who has land for sale, or a business that welcomes investment, or a villa project that is starting soon.  The commission system provides an income to many individuals who are entrepreneurial with their connections.  They will know a lawyer or a notary that can draw up the relevant documents for you. 

Many foreigners are swept away by the helpfulness of their new Indonesian friend and forget to do the things they would ordinarily do in negotiating a legal relationship in their home countries.

An integrous consultant will only introduce you to investment opportunities that meet stringent due diligence requirements and make available secure returns to investors.
