OSS KBLI Compliance Checks: Your Business Says “Villa Management”, But What Does Your KBLI Say?

In Bali and Lombok, “villa management” can describe very different businesses. One company may coordinate maintenance for owners. Another may advertise villas, manage reservations, collect guest payments, employ staff, arrange housekeeping, and run daily accommodation operations.

Those differences matter. OSS KBLI Compliance should reflect what a company actually does, not simply the label used on its website or proposal. When registered classifications no longer match real operations, licensing gaps can develop quietly.

Indonesia’s framework has also changed. Government Regulation No. 28 of 2025 now governs risk-based business licensing, while KBLI 2025 has replaced the previous statistical classification. Property businesses should compare current operations with their corporate and OSS records.

1. “Villa Management” Is Not a Complete Classification

A commercial label does not determine the correct KBLI. OSS KBLI Compliance starts by identifying each activity the company genuinely performs.

Businesses should examine contracts, invoices, revenue streams, staffing, websites, and operational responsibilities before concluding that an existing KBLI is sufficient.

2. Compare Registered Activities With Reality

A practical OSS KBLI Compliance review starts by listing every service currently provided and comparing it with registered activities.

Ask who contracts with owners, who contracts with guests, who receives booking income, who employs staff, and which entity operates the accommodation. This can reveal that a company has evolved beyond its original model.

Growth is not itself the problem. The question is whether OSS KBLI Compliance has kept pace.

3. Review KBLI 2025, Not Only Old Records

BPS Regulation No. 7 of 2025 introduced KBLI 2025. In 2026, the government confirmed that KBLI 2025 does not require existing businesses to obtain new licenses merely because classification codes changed.

Where there is no substantive change in business purpose or scope, conversion may occur automatically through AHU and OSS. Substantive changes, however, may require action by the business.

That distinction matters for OSS KBLI Compliance. Automatic code conversion is different from correcting records when actual operations have changed. OSS also provides a KBLI 2020-to-2025 conversion tool and warns that conversion does not automatically mean a new code fits every business activity.

4. One NIB Does Not Cover Everything

Businesses sometimes assume an NIB allows them to perform any villa-related service. That assumption can be misleading.

Under PP No. 28 of 2025, licensing requirements depend on the activity and risk level. Depending on the activity, an NIB may need to be accompanied by other applicable requirements, standards, certificates, or licenses.

OSS KBLI Compliance therefore requires businesses to assess what they actually perform rather than treating the NIB as a universal permit.

5. Follow the Revenue

Revenue can expose how the business truly operates. A company may describe itself as a manager while most revenue comes from guest accommodation payments. Management fees, commissions, rental income, food sales, or transport charges can also indicate different activities.

OSS KBLI Compliance should be tested against the commercial model. Ask what the company contracts to deliver, who pays it, and what customers receive.

6. Read the Villa Management Agreement

Contracts often reveal more than marketing materials. Does the company merely advise the owner, or can it set rates, manage OTA listings, collect payments, employ workers, purchase supplies, and provide guest services?

For OSS KBLI Compliance, those responsibilities should be compared with registered activities.

Businesses should also review agreements with OTAs, owners, vendors, workers, and guests. If different documents identify different entities as operator, manager, employer, or payment recipient, the wider structure deserves review.

7. New Services Can Change the Picture

Villa businesses often add services gradually: breakfast, spa treatments, airport transfers, events, or other guest services.

Each meaningful expansion should trigger an OSS KBLI Compliance review before it becomes routine. Not every additional convenience automatically requires a separate classification; the facts and sector rules matter. But businesses should not assume every new revenue-generating service is covered by the original activity.

8. PT PMA Businesses Need Additional Review

Foreign-owned companies should consider OSS KBLI Compliance together with investment requirements and conditions applicable to their activities.

Before adding a KBLI, a PT PMA should review whether the proposed activity is available to foreign investment, whether investment requirements apply, and whether corporate documents require corresponding changes.

9. Do Not Add KBLI Codes Mechanically

The answer to a mismatch is not adding every possible code.

Good OSS KBLI Compliance means mapping the real business, identifying appropriate classifications, reviewing licensing requirements, and checking whether corporate purposes, locations, investment structure, and supporting approvals remain consistent.

Unnecessary classifications can create complexity, while missing a material activity creates another risk. The objective is accurate alignment.

10. Review KBLI as the Business Grows

A villa company may start with five properties and later manage dozens, open another location, add hospitality services, or change how it earns revenue.

OSS KBLI Compliance should be reviewed when the business model changes, not only when a regulator, bank, investor, or buyer asks questions.

What Does Your Business Actually Do?

Your website may say “villa management,” but do your contracts, invoices, revenue, staff responsibilities, and OSS records tell the same story?
