A company formation lawyer in Turkey is a bar-admitted attorney who designs and executes the legal structure of a foreign-owned company under Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102 and Foreign Direct Investment Law No. 4875, from entity selection and Articles of Association drafting through Trade Registry filing and post-incorporation compliance.
Turkish company formation is fast in execution but slow in preparation. The Trade Registry can issue legal personality in five to ten business days, yet the choices that determine whether the resulting entity protects the foreign shareholder, qualifies for treaty benefits, and survives a tax audit are made weeks before the first document is filed. The speed at registration is real; the structural decisions that produce that speed are not.
Approval is not the end of compliance, it is the beginning of it. Foreign investors who treat incorporation as a terminal event inherit a structure that requires ongoing legal maintenance under TCC Articles 376 (capital loss), 580 (minimum capital), and the broader corporate governance framework. The investors who treat incorporation as a foundation, anchored under Foreign Direct Investment Law No. 4875, inherit one that absorbs growth, capital changes, and exit transactions without structural rewrites.
Our company formation lawyers assess the business model, recommend the optimal structure, draft Articles of Association tailored to the governance needs of the foreign shareholder, and manage the complete registration process, including remote formation through a notarized Power of Attorney for investors who cannot be present in Turkey. Under Foreign Direct Investment Law No. 4875, foreign investors may own 100% of a Turkish company in nearly every sector, with no local partner required and no minimum residency obligation.
⚖️ Why Does Company Formation in Turkey Require a Lawyer and Not Just a Registration Service?
Turkey is a civil-law jurisdiction in which the legal effect of a corporate document depends as much on its drafting as on its registration. For foreign investors, the opportunity is genuine and so is the rigidity of the rules. Success begins not with a signature but with understanding the structure that gives that signature meaning.
Establishing a company in Turkey is not a checklist. Entity type, capital injection, Articles of Association, tax registration, social security activation: each step is procedural on the surface and foundational underneath. Registration agents and unlicensed consultants can complete forms; only a Turkish bar-admitted attorney can interpret what those forms commit the investor to and can stand for the client when a shareholder dispute, a tax audit, or a creditor enforcement action tests the structure that was put in place at incorporation.
Whether the foreign investor forms a joint stock company, a limited liability company, a branch office, or a liaison office, each structure speaks a different legal language. Choosing the right one means choosing the future of liability, taxation, and exit pathways. Our company formation lawyers do not just handle filings; we interpret the consequences. Sophisticated investors routinely ask which company structure in Turkey best protects foreign capital, and the answer is rarely the cheapest one to register and almost never the one suggested by a non-legal incorporation service.
Legal representation in company formation is not only about execution; it is about prevention. Many foreign investors complement legal assistance with structured risk protection from day one. For the legal tools that insulate a Turkish entity against ownership disputes, regulatory threats, and internal liabilities, see our dedicated guide on Company Formation Risk Shield in Turkey.

⚖️ Which Company Structure Is Right for Foreign Investors in Turkey?
Forming a company is never merely administrative. It is a declaration that the business has entered the world of enforceable consequences under Turkish law. In Turkey, this step requires more than capital or intention; it requires precision in entity selection.
Our company formation lawyers guide foreign investors from the moment commercial intent becomes legal commitment. Whether the decision is the optimal company type or the drafting of Articles of Association tailored to the shareholding structure, each choice shapes the legal personality of the business. The four primary structures used by foreign investors are:
- Limited Liability Company (LLC / LTD. ŞTİ.): The most utilized structure for foreign investors. Flexible governance, lower capital threshold, and limited liability protection make it suitable for SMEs, family businesses, and single-investor structures. Minimum capital 50,000 TL since 1 January 2024.
- Joint Stock Company (JSC / A.Ş.): Suited to scalable ventures, investor-ready entities, and structures requiring transferable shares, formal board governance, or a path to future capital markets activity. Minimum capital 250,000 TL since 1 January 2024.
- Branch Office: For foreign companies seeking a legal presence in Turkey without full incorporation. No minimum capital requirement, but the foreign parent carries unlimited liability for the branch’s obligations.
- Liaison (Representation) Office: Permitted only for non-commercial market research, representation, and coordination activity. Approval from the Ministry of Industry and Technology is required, and the office may not generate revenue under Turkish law.
| Company Type | Minimum Capital | Min. Shareholders | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| LLC / LTD. ŞTİ. | 50,000 TL | 1 | SMEs, startups, single-investor structures |
| JSC / A.Ş. | 250,000 TL | 1 | Scalable ventures, investment-ready entities, capital markets pathways |
| Branch Office | No statutory minimum | N/A | Foreign companies entering Turkey without full incorporation |
| Liaison Office | No statutory minimum | N/A | Non-commercial market research and representation |
Capital figures reflect Turkish Commercial Code thresholds as set by Presidential Decree No. 7887 (Official Gazette 25 November 2023, in force 1 January 2024). For the additional 500,000 TL threshold applicable to non-public joint stock companies that adopt the registered capital system, and for the 31 December 2026 adjustment deadline applicable to entities incorporated before 1 January 2024, see the section below on the 2024 capital reform.
Each structure comes with distinct tax implications, governance responsibilities, and exit options. Our company formation lawyers do not just register the company; we design its legal backbone. For a deeper comparison of the two most-used structures, our Limited vs Joint Stock Company in Turkey analysis lays out the liability, tax, and exit-strategy implications side by side.
Forming the company is only the beginning. Corporate governance compliance ensures that the legal structure performs under pressure once operations begin.
⚖️ What Changed for Company Capital Requirements in 2024, and What Is the 31 December 2026 Deadline?
The minimum capital thresholds that govern Turkish company formation underwent the most material change in over a decade on 1 January 2024. Foreign investors entering Turkey after that date are subject to thresholds five times higher than those that applied before; existing Turkish companies whose paid-in capital falls below the new thresholds face a statutory deadline to comply or face automatic dissolution. The 2024 capital reform is, in practical terms, the most consequential development in Turkish corporate law since the Law No. 7099 package of 2018.
The reform was introduced by Presidential Decree No. 7887, published in the Official Gazette No. 32380 on 25 November 2023 and effective 1 January 2024. Under TCC Articles 332 and 580 as amended, the minimum capital for a Joint Stock Company increased from 50,000 TL to 250,000 TL, the minimum capital for a Limited Liability Company increased from 10,000 TL to 50,000 TL, and the minimum initial capital for a non-public Joint Stock Company adopting the registered capital system (kayıtlı sermaye sistemi) increased from 100,000 TL to 500,000 TL. These thresholds apply directly to companies formed on or after 1 January 2024.
For companies registered with the Trade Registry before that date and capitalized below the new thresholds, a separate provision applies. Law No. 7511, published in the Official Gazette on 29 May 2024, added a transitional Article 15 to the Turkish Commercial Code requiring such companies to bring their paid-in capital up to the new minimum thresholds by 31 December 2026. Companies that fail to complete this adjustment by the deadline will be deemed dissolved (infisah etmiş sayılır) under Article 15, with the Trade Registry processing dissolution and liquidation accordingly. The Ministry of Trade has been granted statutory authority to extend the 31 December 2026 deadline by up to two one-year extensions, but no extension has been issued as of the date of this publication.
For foreign investors, three operational consequences follow from the 2024 capital reform. First, a foreign acquisition of an existing Turkish company should now include a capital-adequacy review against the new thresholds; companies acquired below the new minimum carry the December 2026 deadline as an inherited obligation, and structuring the acquisition without addressing the adjustment creates exposure that surfaces months later. Second, foreign investors planning to incorporate a Turkish entity should not assume that older legal templates reflect current requirements; Articles of Association and capital structures drafted before the 2024 reform require revision before filing. Third, the 500,000 TL registered capital threshold for non-public JSCs is meaningful for foreign investors planning future capital raises through the registered capital mechanism, which is the standard pathway for venture-backed and growth-stage Turkish companies.
Investors comparing the cost of Turkish incorporation to other jurisdictions often ask how the 50,000 TL LLC threshold must actually be deposited at registration, and the answer rests on a 2018 reform that older guides routinely overlook. Under TCC Article 585 as amended by Law No. 7099 (15 February 2018), the requirement to deposit 25% of subscribed cash capital in a blocked Turkish bank account before LLC registration was abolished. For an LLC, the entire cash capital is now payable within 24 months following incorporation, with no pre-registration deposit required. For a JSC, the 25% pre-registration deposit requirement remains in force under TCC Article 344, with the remaining 75% payable within 24 months. This asymmetry between LLC and JSC capital injection is a recurring drafting consideration in formation strategy.
⚖️ How Company Formation Works in Turkey, Step by Step
For foreign investors, the formation process is linear but unforgiving. Each step must be completed in sequence, and errors at any stage can delay the entire formation. The following sequence reflects how our company formation lawyers manage the process on behalf of the foreign client.
Step 1, Entity Selection and Legal Assessment. Our lawyers evaluate the business model, investor profile, sector, and long-term objectives to recommend the optimal structure. LLC, JSC, branch, liaison, or free zone, each carries different tax, liability, and governance consequences. This decision shapes everything that follows and is the single most consequential moment in the formation process.
Step 2, Power of Attorney for Remote Formations. If the foreign investor is outside Turkey, a notarized and apostilled Power of Attorney allows our lawyers to act on the client’s behalf throughout the entire process. We prepare the PoA template in Turkish and English; the client executes it in the home country before a notary, with apostille certification under the Hague Convention or consular legalization for non-Apostille jurisdictions. Remote formation is fully supported and is the standard approach for most of our international clients.
Step 3, MERSIS Registration and Name Reservation. The company name is checked for availability and reserved through MERSIS (Merkezi Sicil Kayıt Sistemi), Turkey’s Central Registration System. Articles of Association are drafted in Turkish and tailored to the governance structure of the specific shareholder profile, not assembled from a template. For LLCs, drafting attention focuses on minority shareholder protections, transfer restrictions, and manager appointment authority. For JSCs, drafting attention focuses on share class structure, board composition, and registered capital mechanics where applicable.
Step 4, Notarization and Trade Registry Filing. All founding documents are notarized and submitted to the relevant Trade Registry Office (Ticaret Sicili Müdürlüğü). For LLCs, the Articles of Association may now be signed at the Trade Registry Office under TCC Article 585 as amended by Law No. 7099, removing the previous notarization requirement for the signing act itself. The company receives legal personality on registration, with publication in the Trade Registry Gazette (Ticaret Sicili Gazetesi) following shortly afterward.
Step 5, Tax Registration and Vergi Levhası. The company is registered with the local tax office (Vergi Dairesi). A tax inspector typically visits the registered address to verify physical presence, particularly for non-residential or shared addresses. Following verification, the company’s tax identity is activated and the Vergi Levhası (tax identification plate) is issued. Without it, the company cannot issue invoices or conduct commercial transactions.
Step 6, Corporate Bank Account and Capital Deposit. A corporate bank account is opened in the company’s name. For Joint Stock Companies, at least 25% of the subscribed cash capital must be deposited and blocked in a Turkish corporate bank account prior to registration, with the remainder payable within 24 months under TCC Article 344. For Limited Liability Companies, the pre-registration deposit requirement was removed in 2018 by Law No. 7099; the entire cash capital may be paid within 24 months following incorporation under TCC Article 585 as amended. Once registration is complete and any blocked capital is released, the funds are available for operational use. For the practical mechanics of selecting a Turkish bank, comparing state-owned and private bank options for foreign-owned companies, and managing the account opening process under BDDK compliance standards, see our companion guide on opening a bank account in Turkey.
Step 7, Social Security Registration and Operational Compliance. If the company will employ staff, registration with the Social Security Institution (SGK) is required before the first employee is hired. We coordinate this alongside accountants to ensure the company is fully operational, not just registered on paper. For foreign-owned companies intending to employ foreign nationals, work permit applications are filed in parallel through the Ministry of Labour and Social Security under Law No. 6735.
The full process typically takes 5 to 10 business days with complete documentation, assuming no Trade Registry objections. Remote formations through Power of Attorney may require an additional one to two weeks for international document authentication. This is precisely why foreign investors increasingly ask when they should engage a Turkish company formation lawyer in the timeline, and the answer is consistently before any decision about entity type, capital structure, or shareholder composition is committed in writing.
⚖️ Avoiding Legal Risks in Company Formation
Legal mistakes in company formation rarely make headlines, but they shape outcomes from behind the scenes. A missed registration step or a poorly drafted Article of Association is not a simple error; it is a liability in disguise that surfaces months or years after incorporation, often during a transaction the company is otherwise positioned to complete.
Choosing the wrong business structure can expose the foreign shareholder to tax burdens or personal liability for public debts that the legal structure was meant to insulate against. A defectively drafted business scope clause can restrict the company’s ability to enter new sectors without an Articles amendment. A capital structure that fails to anticipate future investment rounds creates dilution and pre-emption complications that proper drafting prevents. None of these issues surface during registration; all of them surface later, when remediation costs multiples of what correct drafting would have cost at the start.
The most common formation-stage errors our company formation lawyers remediate for foreign investors include boilerplate Articles of Association that omit minority shareholder protections, capital structures that fail to anticipate the registered capital system threshold for future growth, director appointments that create unintended personal liability under Article 35 of Tax Procedure Law No. 213 (public-debt liability of legal representatives), and registered addresses that trigger tax office complications within the first six months of operations.
A company formation lawyer does not just fill in the blanks. The work is asking the right questions before blanks appear. We ensure every clause has weight, every timeline is aligned, and every legal condition is fully satisfied. The objective is not to clean up legal disputes; it is to prevent their existence. We intervene before the mistake becomes a story, and before a formality becomes a lawsuit.
⚖️ Cross-Border Company Formation and International Support
In cross-border business, law is no longer purely local; it is relational. Companies that operate across jurisdictions must navigate layers of regulation, treaties, and compliance expectations that no single national framework fully describes.
International entrepreneurs often seek an attorney rather than a registration consultant, especially when structuring cross-border operations. Our Istanbul-based legal team bridges civil-law and common-law expectations, ensuring foreign investors receive both legal clarity and strategic foresight. We assist international clients in aligning Turkish company law with parallel obligations under their home jurisdiction, including double taxation treaty positioning, beneficial ownership disclosures, foreign subsidiary reporting (CFC rules in the home jurisdiction), and regulatory disclosure obligations to home-state authorities.
Our company formation lawyers work in coordination with international counsel to synchronize formations, harmonize filings across jurisdictions, and anticipate jurisdictional conflicts before they arise. Where a Turkish entity is part of a multi-jurisdictional structure, the drafting of the Turkish Articles of Association must reflect not only Turkish requirements but also the documentary expectations of foreign tax authorities, foreign banks, and foreign auditors who will review the Turkish entity as part of the broader structure. It is no coincidence that international investors ask who should be trusted with the legal architecture of a Turkish entity that sits inside a multi-jurisdictional structure, and the answer lies less in firm size than in the demonstrated capacity to translate one legal system into another without leaving structural gaps.
⚖️ Company Formation and Turkish Citizenship by Investment
Foreign investors structuring a Turkish company sometimes pursue the entity formation as part of a broader citizenship by investment strategy. The Turkish citizenship by investment programme under Article 12(b) of Law No. 5901 includes two business-related qualifying routes that intersect directly with company formation: the fixed capital investment route requiring USD 500,000 of qualifying investment confirmed by the Ministry of Industry and Technology, and the employment creation route requiring the maintenance of payroll for at least 50 Turkish citizens for three years.
Neither route is satisfied by company formation alone. The fixed capital investment route requires evidence of genuine operational investment, not merely the capitalization of a Turkish entity. The employment creation route requires real, traceable payroll obligations sustained across the holding period. Foreign investors pursuing citizenship through these routes require a company formation lawyer who can coordinate the corporate structure with citizenship eligibility requirements simultaneously, because the two compliance frameworks do not always move in the same direction. For the full legal framework of business-based citizenship, see our Turkish citizenship law firm page.
⚖️ Why Choose Oznur & Partners as Your Company Formation Partner
Our company formation practice is built around the foreign investor’s actual decision points, not around a registration script. From the first consultation to incorporation and beyond, we prioritize clarity, responsiveness, and direct access to the lawyer handling the file. The person advising you understands both the home jurisdiction’s expectations and the Turkish regulatory environment that the new entity will operate inside.
We combine Turkish Commercial Code expertise with the operational realities of cross-border commerce. Foreign investors entering Turkey for the first time receive structural guidance that anticipates the questions they will face six months and three years after incorporation, not just the questions on the Trade Registry checklist. Repeat clients return for entity restructuring, capital increases, share transfers, and the ongoing legal work that follows a well-formed entity through its commercial life.

❓ Company Formation in Turkey, Frequently Asked Questions
✅ What are the minimum capital requirements for company formation in Turkey?
A Limited Liability Company (LLC / LTD. ŞTİ.) requires minimum capital of 50,000 TL under TCC Article 580 as amended by Presidential Decree No. 7887 effective 1 January 2024. The entire cash capital is payable within 24 months following registration with no pre-registration deposit required under TCC Article 585 as amended by Law No. 7099 in 2018. A Joint Stock Company (JSC / A.Ş.) requires minimum capital of 250,000 TL under TCC Article 332, with at least 25% deposited and blocked before registration and the remainder due within 24 months under TCC Article 344. A non-public JSC adopting the registered capital system requires a minimum initial capital of 500,000 TL. Branch and liaison offices have no statutory minimum capital requirement.
✅ What is the 31 December 2026 capital adjustment deadline?
Under transitional Article 15 of the Turkish Commercial Code, added by Law No. 7511 in May 2024, Turkish companies registered before 1 January 2024 whose paid-in capital falls below the post-reform thresholds must increase their capital to the new minimums by 31 December 2026. Companies failing to complete the adjustment are deemed dissolved under Article 15, with the Trade Registry processing automatic dissolution and liquidation. The Ministry of Trade may extend the deadline by up to two one-year extensions, but no extension has been issued as of the date of this publication. Foreign investors acquiring existing Turkish entities should treat the 2026 deadline as an inherited obligation that must be addressed at the transaction stage.
✅ Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in Turkey?
Yes. Under Article 3 of Foreign Direct Investment Law No. 4875, foreign investors enjoy equal treatment with Turkish nationals in company formation, with full foreign ownership permitted in nearly every sector without a local partner or director requirement. Sector-specific ownership limitations apply in regulated industries including broadcasting, civil aviation, maritime transport, and certain financial services. Our company formation lawyers assess the target sector before formation to identify any applicable restrictions.
✅ Can I form a company in Turkey remotely without being present?
Yes. A notarized and apostilled Power of Attorney grants our lawyers authority to complete the entire formation process on the foreign investor’s behalf. The PoA is executed in the home country before a notary, certified through apostille (under the Hague Convention) or consular legalization (for non-Apostille jurisdictions), and translated by a sworn Turkish translator. This is the standard approach for most of our international clients and covers every stage of the formation process including MERSIS filing, notarization, Trade Registry submission, tax registration, and corporate bank account opening.
✅ What documents are required to form a company in Turkey as a foreign individual?
For a foreign individual shareholder, the core documents are a valid passport with notarized Turkish translation, a Turkish tax identification number (issued at the local tax office, obtainable through PoA), proof of residential address, biometric photographs, and an apostilled Power of Attorney if forming remotely. For a foreign company as shareholder, additional documents are required: an apostilled Certificate of Activity from the home country Chamber of Commerce, a Board of Directors resolution authorizing the Turkish formation, the parent company’s Articles of Association in apostilled and translated form, and a power of representation for the individual signing on behalf of the foreign entity.
✅ How long does company formation take in Turkey?
With complete documentation, registration typically takes 5 to 10 business days at the Trade Registry. The timeline depends on document preparation, notarization, and Trade Registry workload at the local registry office. Remote formations through Power of Attorney may require an additional one to two weeks for international document authentication and translation chains. Our team pre-checks all documents before submission to avoid Trade Registry objections and the timeline resets that objections trigger.
✅ What is the difference between an LLC and a JSC in Turkey?
An LLC (LTD. ŞTİ.) is the more common structure for foreign investors: lower capital threshold (50,000 TL), simpler governance through appointed managers rather than a formal board, limited liability protection, and no pre-registration capital deposit requirement under the 2018 amendment to TCC Article 585. A JSC (A.Ş.) is preferred for larger ventures, companies planning to raise external investment, or structures requiring transferable share certificates and formal board governance (minimum capital 250,000 TL, with 25% deposit blocked before registration under TCC Article 344). Both structures permit 100% foreign ownership under Law No. 4875. For a structured comparison, see our Limited vs Joint Stock Company in Turkey analysis.
✅ What is MERSIS and why does it matter?
MERSIS (Merkezi Sicil Kayıt Sistemi) is Turkey’s Central Registration System, the digital gateway through which all company names are reserved, Articles of Association are submitted, and Trade Registry applications are routed before notarization. A properly prepared MERSIS filing prevents registry objections, name conflicts with existing entities, and incompatibility issues with the standard MERSIS-approved Articles of Association templates that the system enforces. Our company formation lawyers handle MERSIS registration as part of the standard formation engagement.
✅ Do I need a local address to register a company in Turkey?
Yes. A registered business address in Turkey is a legal requirement for Trade Registry registration. The address need not be a fully equipped physical office; a registered address service is sufficient for incorporation purposes. The tax inspector who visits the registered address during the activation phase will assess whether the address is suitable for the company’s declared business activity, and registered address services that satisfy this verification are routinely available in Istanbul, Ankara, and other major commercial centres.
✅ What happens after company registration in Turkey?
Trade Registry registration is the starting point, not the finish line. After registration, the company must complete tax office activation, open a corporate bank account, activate the Vergi Levhası, and if employing staff, register with the Social Security Institution before the first employee starts work. Depending on the sector, additional permits and compliance frameworks may apply including KVKK (Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698) registration for entities processing personal data, e-commerce licensing for online businesses, and sector-specific regulatory permits for regulated industries. Our Corporate Compliance Lawyer page describes the ongoing post-formation legal architecture.
✅ What is the difference between a lawyer and an attorney in Turkey?
In Turkey, the legal profession is unified. All bar-admitted lawyers (avukat) are authorized to act in both advisory and litigation roles; there is no separate attorney designation as in some common-law jurisdictions. For international clients accustomed to the US or Canadian attorney terminology, the function is identical to the Turkish avukat registered with a Turkish bar association. What matters is not the title but the strategic depth of the legal planning the formation receives and the licensing of every lawyer working on the file under a Turkish bar.
✅ Can company formation in Turkey support a citizenship by investment application?
Yes, under specific conditions. The Turkish citizenship by investment programme under Article 12(b) of Law No. 5901 includes a fixed capital investment route (USD 500,000 confirmed by the Ministry of Industry and Technology) and an employment creation route (at least 50 Turkish citizens employed for three years). Neither route is satisfied by formation alone; both require evidence of genuine operational substance sustained across the holding period. Our company formation lawyers structure entity formation in coordination with citizenship eligibility from the inquiry stage, because the two compliance frameworks do not always move in the same direction.
✅ Can company formation include asset protection measures?
Yes. When planned properly, the formation structure itself functions as a risk management tool. This includes shareholder agreement design with clear pre-emption and tag-along rights, liability separation between personal and corporate assets through careful director appointment structuring, governance controls that prevent internal disputes through deadlock resolution mechanisms, and alignment with Turkish foreign investment regulations to preserve treaty protection under bilateral investment treaties. We outline these strategies in our dedicated guide on Company Formation Risk Shield in Turkey.

A company is more than a name on paper. It is a legal identity, and what makes that identity hold under pressure is the structure that was placed beneath it before the first form was filed. The Trade Registry closes the door in five business days; the work that determines whether the entity behind that door survives the next five years is finished before the door opens.
