Selling Your Bali Business? Avoid Costly Mistakes

Preparing a company for a sale is one of the key factors affecting its value and how quickly it can be sold. A well-structured business inspires greater confidence among buyers, helps justify the asking price and reduces the risk of lengthy negotiations.

The Legal Indonesia team can carry out comprehensive pre-sale business preparation within 4–8 weeks, putting your legal, financial and corporate documentation in order.

The result is a transparent asset that is easy for investors to understand, with a confirmed value and minimal risks that would otherwise usually be used as grounds to reduce the price.

• You are planning to enter the market but are not sure how to justify the stated value of the business. 
• Potential buyers regularly ask for discounts, and it is difficult to understand which comments are actually justified.

• You are concerned that issues may be discovered during Due Diligence that could derail the deal.

• You need to identify and address the company’s weaknesses in advance, before negotiations begin.

We review the company’s corporate structure, history of changes, shareholder resolutions, NIB, PT or PT PMA status, and other key documents.

We analyse existing licences, ensure the business activities comply with the registered KBLI, and restore or renew the required permits.

We review reporting, prepare financial figures for recent years, settle any debts to the tax authorities and social security funds, and bring mandatory reporting into order.

We review lease agreements, contracts with suppliers and clients, and assess potential risks for the future owner.

We review employment contracts, obligations to employees, BPJS participation and additional terms for key specialists.

We analyse documents for land and premises, lease terms, possible restrictions, and the risk of disputes with owners or third parties.

We determine the company’s objective market value using three approaches: asset valuation, market multiples and the discounted cash flow (DCF) method.

• Vendor Due Diligence Report — a report for potential buyers that significantly speeds up the business review process.

• Information Memorandum — a professionally prepared company presentation for investors.

• An independent business valuation with a detailed price justification.

• Legal support during negotiations and preparation of the business sale and purchase agreement (SPA).

An express audit of the business from the buyer’s perspective. You will receive a list of the main risks, a preliminary valuation of the company and a step-by-step plan for preparing it for sale.

A complete pre-sale preparation package: addressing identified risks, restoring documentation and reporting, valuing the business, preparing the Vendor Due Diligence Report and supporting the transaction through to completion.

Lawyers, accountants, tax consultants and business valuation specialists work on the project at the same time. This approach provides a comprehensive solution without the need to coordinate several contractors.

We regularly support transactions for both sellers and buyers, so we know which issues investors check first and how to prepare for them in advance.

In our experience, a properly prepared business can be sold for 15–35% more than comparable companies that enter the market without prior preparation.

Pre-sale preparation helps increase the attractiveness of a business to investors, shorten the transaction timeline and reduce the likelihood of price negotiations. Legal Indonesia will help collect and prepare the necessary documents, carry out a comprehensive company audit and support the sale process at every stage.
