✅Open· 100% ForeignMedium-High RiskDirect Match

Industrial management consulting — providing professional management advice specifically to manufacturing, processing, and industrial sector businesses. This covers factory operations optimization, supply chain consulting, production efficiency, industrial safety advisory, and quality management systems for manufacturing clients. The 'industrial' qualifier is what makes this different from general consulting.

Direct match from KBLI 2020 (MATCH_LANGSUNG). The code and scope remain unchanged. Industrial consulting stays industrial consulting.

Bali Intelligence

This isn't a typical Bali code — there aren't many factories on the island. But it's relevant for consultants who serve industrial clients elsewhere in Indonesia (Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi) while living in Bali. The Medium-High risk classification across all scales is the key thing to watch: even a solo micro-scale consultancy gets the same risk level as a large firm, which means the 14-day Standard Certificate process applies to everyone. If your consulting work is more general business strategy and doesn't specifically touch factory operations or industrial safety, you're better off with 70203 (Low risk, automatic licensing). Only use 70202 if your client work genuinely involves manufacturing and industrial operations.
