Are you a foreign investor dreaming of opening a shopping centre in the island paradise of Bali, Indonesia? 

As Bali emerges as a prime destination for retail investment, the opportunities are ripe for foreign-owned companies looking to construct and operate a shopping centre.

This venture falls under KBLI Code 41014, which involves developing, maintaining, or redeveloping buildings designed for retail, such as trade buildings, markets, malls, department stores, shops, and stalls. 

It also includes constructing shop houses with the intent to sell and extensively modifying or renovating existing retail buildings.

To navigate the intricacies of establishing a thriving retail hub in this tourist hotspot, it’s crucial to understand the scope of work, from architectural design to constructing various commercial buildings.
