Company Formation in Turkey
Setting up a company in a foreign jurisdiction can be complex. We simplify the process by handling every step on your behalf.
What we do:
– Entity selection – we help you choose between a Limited Liability Company (Ltd. Sti.) or a Joint Stock Company (A.S.) based on your business model, capital requirements, and governance preferences.
– MERSIS registration and trade name reservation – all electronically filed through the central registry system.
– Articles of association preparation – drafted in full compliance with the Turkish Commercial Code (TTK).
– Notary and signature circular procedures – we coordinate all mandatory notarial formalities, including the signature circular (imza sirkuleri).
– Minimum capital deposit and bank account opening – we guide you through the required capital deposit (TRY 50,000 for Ltd. Sti., TRY 250,000 for A.S., with 25% due before incorporation) and arrange corporate bank account setup.
– Tax office and SGK registration – we ensure your company is properly registered with the local tax authority and, if applicable, with the Social Security Institution (SGK).
– Post‑formation compliance – we assist with ongoing obligations such as annual general assembly meetings, trade registry filings, and capital increase procedures.
Foreign investors can hold 100% of the shares in most commercial sectors, and no local partner is required. The entire registration process can be completed remotely using a power of attorney.

Legal & Tax Consulting
– Legal & tax consulting – we offer comprehensive guidance on regulatory compliance, tax optimization strategies, and legal structuring for investments to ensure our clients navigate the complexities of the legal landscape effectively. Our team provides insights into local and international taxation matters, helping clients minimize liabilities while adhering to applicable laws. Additionally, we assist in the preparation of necessary documentation to facilitate smooth transactions and mitigate potential legal risks.
Navigating Turkish tax and legal frameworks is essential for protecting your assets and optimising your returns.
What we do:
– Corporate tax optimisation – the standard corporate tax rate is 25% (2026). Manufacturing exporters benefit from a reduced rate of 9%, while other exporters enjoy a rate of 14% under the latest reform package (Official Gazette No. 33233, 24 April 2026).
– Istanbul Financial Center (IFC) incentives – profits from transit‑trade activities are now 100% tax‑exempt within the IFC and 95% exempt outside it. Qualified financial services exports are fully exempt until 22 June 2032.

– Transfer pricing compliance – we help group companies document intra‑group transactions in accordance with the arm’s length principle.
– VAT and customs duty management – we advise on VAT exemptions for qualified machinery imports and customs duty relief for capital goods.
– Personal taxation for relocating individuals – high‑net‑worth individuals who have not been tax‑resident in Turkey for the past three years can benefit from 20 years of tax‑free foreign‑source income under the 2026 framework.

Turkish Citizenship by Investment
Turkey offers one of the world’s most accessible citizenship‑by‑investment programmes, with no language test, no mandatory residency requirement, and inclusion of spouse and dependent children under 18.
Qualifying investment routes (2026):
– Real estate – minimum $400,000 (market value confirmed by an SPK‑licensed appraiser). The title deed is annotated with a 3‑year no‑sale restriction. The most popular route (70-75% of all CBI applications). Processing time: 4-7 months.
– Bank deposit – $500,000 deposited in a Turkish bank and held for three years,
– Government bonds – $500,000 held for three years,
– Capital investment – $500,000 fixed capital contribution,
– Private Pension System (BES) – $500,000 – a route newly recognised in 2026,
– Job creation – employment of at least 50 Turkish citizens.
Key requirements:
– Foreign Exchange Purchase Certificate (DAB) documenting that the investment amount was converted through the Turkish banking system.
– Verified source of funds.
– Clean criminal record.
