Company Formation
"What are the steps to establish a company in Turkey?"
Quick Answer
Company formation involves preparing articles of association, obtaining tax IDs, depositing capital, and registering with the Trade Registry. Process takes 3-5 business days.
Scope and Legal Distinctions
Choose the entity and licensed activity before filing. Incorporation, tax activation, banking and sector permission are separate stages, so a registry certificate alone is not permission for every business activity.
What to Check in Practice
Prepare founder identity and authority evidence, articles, capital arrangements and address documentation; check ongoing books and beneficial-owner reporting.
