President Jokowi distributed Business Identification Numbers (NIB) to 2500 Micro and Small Businesses (MSEs) on Wednesday (13/7) at the Nanggala Sports Building, East Jakarta. NIB itself is a business identity number issued by the Online Single Submission (OSS) institution after the business actor has registered. NIB consists of thirteen random digit numbers that are secured and accompanied by an electronic signature. Business actors are required to have an NIB to facilitate the licensing process, which also applies as a Company Registration Certificate (TDP), Importer Identification Number (API), and customs access rights. In order for you to understand more about NIB, let’s look at the discussion about the functions and benefits of NIB to facilitate KH’s business operations in the future.
Main Functions of NIB
According to the Ministry of Investment/Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), NIB has several functions, such as:
- As an identification mark for individual and non-individual business actors.
- To apply for a business license and commercial or operational license.
- Registered as a participant in health social security and labor social security.
Benefits of NIB
NIB has four benefits, namely:
- When a company registers its business through OSS, it does not only get a NIB, but:
- Business License
- Corporate or Individual NPWP, if you don’t already have one.
- They will automatically be registered as BPJS Employment and Health participants.
- Notification of eligibility for fiscal facilities in the form of easy financing applications.
- Approval Letter for the Plan to Use Foreign Workers (RPTKA). It can be a licensing data storage facility in one business identity, so you don’t need to carry a pile of files and only show NIB. This aims to be more practical and faster in obtaining access to other licenses.
- With NIB registration, you will obtain other company legality documents, which are required for business licensing. So, NIB shortens the process of obtaining licenses for business actors, and there is no need to process documents separately.
- The presence of the OSS and NIB systems can speed up the application of licenses with automatic approval in the system. Using the system will feel more practical, compared to the conventional way.
Process of Obtaining NIB
To get a NIB in OSS you must register and create an OSS account through the page at www.oss.go.id. After you get the NIB, KH Friend can proceed to the next process, namely, obtaining a business license and commercial and operational licenses. For the record, the business license can be valid in all regions of Indonesia. While commercial and operational permits are given to businesses as a fulfillment of standards, license certificates, and or registration of goods/services adjusted to the type of product commercialized through the OSS system. Not finished there, there are several other things that KH pals must pay attention to when getting NIB. You must know that OSS is integrated with various other Ministry systems, such as DG AHU (Kemenkumham) and KSWP (DG Tax). To increase the effectiveness of the NIB registration process, make sure first:
- The business premises are already owned by the business owner, indicated by proof of domicile in the form of a lease or certificate of rights to the business building.
- Have an environmental permit and Building Permit (IMB)
- It is mandatory to have an environmental impact assessment, if the business activity has an impact on the environment. However, it is recommended that the business activities carried out have no impact on the environment.
- The tax report of the owner or person in charge of the company is neat and precise.
By obtaining NIB and business licenses, business activities will become easier, smoother, and also more effective. Especially any problems related to permits, which in the end can be resolved properly without obstacles.
