Through this centralized platform, businesses can obtain essential permits, including:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"8\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">NIB (Nomor Induk Berusaha):<\/b> The fundamental Business Identification Number.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Operational Licenses:<\/b> Permits required to commence commercial activities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Commercial Approvals:<\/b> Sector-specific certifications.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">Government Regulation No. 28 of 2025 regarding Risk-Based Business Licensing (OSS-RBA) solidifies the system&#8217;s authority. This regulation designates OSS as the sole national gateway, requiring all regional and central government agencies to process licenses exclusively through this integrated system.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Compliance_is_Critical_for_Your_Business\"><\/span>Why Compliance is Critical for Your Business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">Staying compliant is the only way to safeguard your company from regulatory, operational, and reputational risks. Under the integrated OSS-RBA regime, data inconsistencies are easily detected, which can lead to:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\" data-path-to-node=\"13\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Administrative Sanctions:<\/b> Warnings or temporary restrictions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Operational Suspensions:<\/b> Forced pauses in business activities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">License Revocation:<\/b> Permanent loss of the right to operate.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Financial Penalties:<\/b> Heavy fines for non-compliance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\">The &#8220;Fictitious Positive&#8221; Principle. One major benefit of Regulation No. 28 of 2025 is the introduction of clearer Service Level Agreements (SLAs). If a competent authority fails to issue a decision within the prescribed timeline, the license may be &#8220;deemed approved,&#8221; provided the applicant has submitted all data accurately. This enhances legal certainty for proactive businesses.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"16\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Key_Compliance_Requirements_Under_OSS-RBA\"><\/span>4 Key Compliance Requirements Under OSS-RBA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17\">To maintain a &#8220;Green&#8221; compliance status in Indonesia, businesses should focus on these four pillars:<\/p>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"18\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Accurate_KBLI_Classification\"><\/span>1. Accurate KBLI Classification<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19\">Businesses must be registered under the correct Indonesian Standard Business Classification (KBLI).

Risk-Based Licensing Obligations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"21\">Requirements vary based on the assigned risk level: Low, Medium-Low, Medium-High, or High. Higher-risk activities require stricter technical standards, environmental verifications (AMDAL\/UKL-UPL), and manual approvals beyond basic registration.<\/p>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"22\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Fulfillment_of_Post-Licensing_Commitments\"><\/span>3. Fulfillment of Post-Licensing Commitments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"23\">Many licenses issued via OSS are &#8220;conditional.&#8221; They require the fulfillment of post-licensing commitments, such as building permits (PBG) or operational feasibility certificates (SLF). Failure to meet these milestones can trigger a license suspension.<\/p>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"24\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Ongoing_Data_Updates_and_Reporting\"><\/span>4.
