The Legal Framework for the Establishment of Social Enterprises as New Legal Entities in Indonesia
Abstract
Social enterprises have emerged in Indonesia at various scales, from micro to macro. However, their existence remains elusive due to the lack of specific legislation governing the legal form of social enterprises, creating a legal vacuum.. The creation of Social Enterprises as a new legal entity in Indonesia is covered in this paper. This research employs both a legislative and a philosophical approach as a normative legal study. According to the study's findings, Indonesia need legislation that expressly governs social enterprises in order to protect social entrepreneurs' admirable objectives from abuse and provide legal stability. Making Social Enterprises a new legal entity and drafting laws specifically for them are two ways that the legal construction pertaining to Social Enterprises is carried out. Regulations pertaining to Asset Lock, Profit Lock, and Mission Lock are included in the statute.
