What is a Business Certificate (SKU)
A business certificate (SKU) is an important document that must be owned by business actors. SKU is a proof of business legality issued by the authorities such as the local sub-district or sub-district to state if the person concerned owns a business with clear business activities.
In short, a business certificate is an informative document that contains various important information related to a business, starting from the company name, address, type of business being carried out, business license number, validity date of the received business license, and so on.
The legal basis for SKU ownership has been regulated in Law no. 3 of 1982 concerning Compulsory Company Registration. As for the validity period, the SKU is valid for 1 year from the date this document was first issued.
Apart from SKUs, as a business owner, it's a good idea to also complete other business legalities documents, such as Trading Business Permits, Business Identification Numbers (NIB), Business Location Permits, and Halal Certificates.
