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.

5 Functions of a Business Certificate

Apart from being related to legality, a business certificate has other important functions that you need to know about. Among others, the following.

1. Business Legality

The first SKU function is business legality. By having an SKU, you can be sure that your business is running according to the procedures and laws that apply in Indonesia.

2. Terms of Submission of Loans to Banks

SKUs can be used as one of the requirements for capital loans to financial institutions such as banks. One of the business capital loan programs supported by the government for the development of people's businesses such as MSMEs and so on is KUR (People's Business Credit).

3. Requirements Documents to Follow the Auction / Tender

The next advantage of owning an SKU is that it will be easier for you to be able to participate in auctions/tenders held by certain institutions. For example, projects or activities held by the government or private parties.

4. Entrepreneurial TIN Requirements

SKU can be used as one of the requirements for making other documents related to business legality, one of which is as a requirement for making an entrepreneur's NPWP.

5. Conditions for Changing the Class of Electricity Tariffs

Finally, with the SKU document, you can adjust the existing electricity rates by changing the electricity rate group. The reason is, this class change can only be made if you attach the requested requirements, including the SKU document.
