Start-ups, software companies, trading and service businesses.
Investment focused
Minimum capital of TRY 250,000
Ventures planning to raise investment and large multi-shareholder structures.
Foreign shareholders
Determined by the company type
Foreign individuals or legal entities wishing to set up a company in Türkiye.
Capital figures are the statutory minimums under the Turkish Commercial Code and are updated whenever the legislation changes. Formation cost varies with notary, trade registry and chamber fees, so it is confirmed during the consultation.
The questions we are asked most about company formation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
