FAQs

The profit-sharing mechanism in a CV is typically outlined in the partnership agreement. Profits are usually distributed based on the proportion of capital contributions or as agreed upon by the partners. Limited Partners receive a share of the profits relative to the investment made, while Complementary Partners may receive a larger share due to an active management role and unlimited liability.

A CV can raise additional capital through various means, such as reinvesting profits, bringing in new Limited Partners, or obtaining loans. However, it is essential to document any changes in capital contributions and update the partnership agreement accordingly. Any significant changes should also be reported to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights to ensure compliance.

While a CV can engage in a wide range of business activities, certain sectors may have specific regulations or restrictions. For example, some industries may require additional licenses or permits, and foreign investment regulations may limit the types of activities a CV can undertake. It is essential to consult with legal experts to ensure compliance with industry-specific regulations.

The primary risk for Complementary Partners in a CV is unlimited liability, meaning the CV is personally liable for the company’s debts and obligations. This can put the personal assets of the CV at risk. Additionally, the lack of formal structure compared to an LLC can lead to potential conflicts among partners and challenges in managing the business effectively.

Post-establishment compliance for CVs in Indonesia includes:

  1. Ongoing tax filing and ensuring timely payments to maintain financial legality.
  2. Regular updates and renewals of licenses as dictated by sector-specific regulatory bodies.
  3. Routine auditing and compliance checks to remain in good standing and current with all legal obligations.
  4. The possibility of changing legal entity
