Hi There.
You CAN NOT open or operate your business under your name, so far foreigner are not 'permitted' to run a business in the island. To find out about how to set a business in Indonesia, find a book...call..
"How to join Kamar Dagang of Indonesia" or KADIN.
If you can a "partner" you can start with a :
a. Car rental business
b. Export - Import
c. Restaurant
d. Bungalow or even bed and breakfast
These are a major business at this moment in the island of Bali besides money changer.
Is there (business) for sale.?
Most 'outsiders' are leasing from Balinese, or most Balinese are NOT willing to sale his/her property.
Iam sure you can find INDONESIAN partner in Bali, does not have to be a Balinese. All Indonesian have an equal right to do business in Indonesia. Buyer beware, it happened NOT once NOT twice but many many times where your partner would take you for 'ride'.
First, you have to do many many paper work such as your visa, your partner KTP has to be accurate or valid. Make sure your partner know well about the 'rule of the jungle' which you have to know from goverment officials.
Bali in April.
