ABSTRACT: In a limited liability company, capital becomes one of the primary elements.
However, the regulation regarding capital in Indonesia has changed several times, as its latest
concern on the enactment of the omnibus bill on Job Creation Law in 2020. This paper discussed
the following problems. First, what are the status quo and the development of regulations
regarding minimum capital requirements in Indonesia? Second, what are the pros and cons of
minimum capital requirement regulations and their developments in other countries? Third, what
is the minimum capital requirements regulation that suits the conditions in Indonesia? This paper
used legal research, emphasizing literature study. In so doing, the data were analyzed with the
deductive method to construct conclusions. This paper showed that each limited liability company
from the 1995 Limited Company Law, the 2007 Limited Company Law to the Job Creation
Law had various minimum capital requirements provisions that lasted to its abolishment under
the Job Creation Law. In this context, the initial policy on the minimum capital requirement was
to protect creditors. In practice, however, this policy was not effective because many other
effective alternatives to protect creditors, by encouraging transparency in corporate transactions
and offering easy access to corporate information. The dominance of micro and small business
units in Indonesia (99% of business units) explains the urgency of eliminating minimum capital
requirements regulations. The elimination of minimum authorized capital requirements is a
tremendous effort to strengthen micro and small enterprises.
