JAKARTA - The Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto explained that later through the Omnibus Law on the Job Creation Bill which has now been submitted to the DPR, the establishment of a limited liability company (PT) can be done individually. The processing of licensing will be made easier.

Not only that, Airlangga said, the government also guaranteed that this bill would make it easier for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to establish PT. The goal is that the business he runs has a legal entity.

"There are several facilities for small and medium enterprises in forming PT. For example, we know that nowadays many digital entrepreneurs are based on individuals. Whether they are peddlers or drivers for Gojek or Grab. Without legal institutions, their access to banking is limited because the key to financial access is an institution, in the Omnibus Law it is possible, "he said, when met at the Four Season Hotel, Gatot Subroto, Thursday, March 5.

Airlangga explained, it is easy for MSMEs to establish a PT, so that the business they are starting can have a legal entity. With this legal status, small entrepreneurs can access banking financial institutions in order to obtain business capital.

"So if the formation of PT for two people, and a minimum capital of Rp. 50 million. That is for MSMEs to be freed, Gojek drivers can become entrepreneurs and establish PT. It is enough to register with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and it can be assisted by the agency, of course a definite notary, it can also be a platform," he explained. .

Airlangga explained, small business actors who have registered will get a registration number as well as a permit. So, there is no need to take care of all kinds of permits. "So we provide relaxation for these entrepreneurs," he said.

According to him, with the development of the digital industry, giving credit to the community has become very easy through applications, but loan interest is still considered too high, so entrepreneurs often have to deal with debt collectors.

"UMKM players who are now in the informal sector, we formalize with a legal entity, so that if there is a bankruptcy, it is the PT, not their family, who goes bankrupt.
