commanditaire venootschap or cv
The difference between a PT and a CV is as follows; a PT is a business entity in the form of a legal entity whose status is regulated by Law #40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies, while a CV is not a business incorporated because there is no regulation that regulates it. As the name implies, CV is a Dutch Colonial heritage business entity. Its establishment is easier than a PT, making the CV to be much chosen as a business entity for a UMKM business.
According to the Law #40 of 2007, the founding capital of a PT is IDR 50million unless otherwise determined by the laws or regulations implementing such business activities in Indonesia. As for a CV, there is no capital limit in its establishment. In practice, however, the amount of capital deposited in the CV will effect the distribution of shares in the future.
With the establishment of a business in the form of a PT, it is required there are at least 2 people involved, Indonesian or foreigners, each of which is a shareholder. A CV also requires a minimum of 2 people as founders. However, the provision of a CV prohibits foreigners from co-founding the company.
usaha dagang (UD)
An Usaha Dagang (UD) is a business entity owned by only one owner, whose shares are owned by said owner. There is no separation between the owner’s and the business’s assets. If the business files for bankruptcy then, the owner also must file for the bankruptcy. Because the shares and costs of all forms are owned by individuals, no one has the right to regulate the owner of UD. Therefore, the form of laws and regulations that apply depends on the owner of the UD. So what is the difference between a UD referred to in this paper and a personal business? A UD does not have to be a legal identity.
