Have a new business idea? The road to success runs through taking the first step correctly. At Mai Müşavirlik we are your strategic solution partner for professional beginnings.
The first decision at formation is the company type, and while that decision can be changed later, it costs time and transaction fees. Sole proprietorships, limited liability companies and joint stock companies differ in the number of shareholders, the limits of liability, the ease of share transfers and the form of taxation. The right choice is made by looking less at how the business stands today than at its medium-term plan.
Once the type is settled, the process continues with determining the company name and field of activity, structuring the capital, drafting the articles of association, registration with the trade registry, and tax office and SGK registration. Formations with foreign shareholders also involve additional steps such as obtaining a potential tax identification number and apostilled translations of shareholding documents.
The work does not end when registration is complete — that is where the real operation begins. Ledger certification, e-invoice and e-archive applications, obtaining the financial seal, setting up the accounting structure and drawing up the first tax return calendar are all inseparable parts of the formation. We carry out these steps within a single plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most about this service.
Should I set up an LLC or a joint stock company?
This cannot be answered on its own. Your number of shareholders, the likelihood of raising outside investment, your share transfer plans and the permits your sector requires are all assessed together. In the meeting we go through these points and explain which suits you, with reasons.
Which documents are needed for formation?
The core documents are the shareholders’ identity details, address declarations, the lease or title deed for the premises to be used as the registered office, and signature declarations. Where there is a foreign shareholder, passports and apostilled documents are added. We draw up the list specific to your formation type.
Can I set up a company with foreign shareholders?
Yes. Foreign individuals or legal entities may set up a company in Türkiye. The process involves additional steps such as obtaining a potential tax identification number and having documents from abroad apostilled and officially translated.
What do I need to do after the company is set up?
After registration come ledger certification, tax office and SGK registration, e-invoice and e-archive applications, and obtaining the financial seal. We handle these as a continuation of the formation; all that is asked of you are signatures and approvals.
