Company formation.
Your start in Türkiye.

Start with the business, then the structure

The right entity depends on your activities, shareholders, governance and regulatory needs. G&K Partners’ published services include company formation and support for foreign investors establishing a presence in Türkiye.

Formation support can cover

• Reviewing entity options and proposed activities
• Preparing incorporation and shareholder documentation
• Coordinating registration formalities and powers of attorney
• Planning corporate bank-account documentation
• Coordinating with separately appointed accounting advisers

Information to prepare

Explain your business activities, proposed shareholders and directors, ownership structure, address needs and whether any activity requires a licence. Corporate shareholders should identify where their records will be issued.

Separate work and residence questions

Incorporation does not automatically provide citizenship, residence or permission to work. Review those requirements separately as part of your move.

Choose an entity for the activities you actually plan

The firm’s existing corporate service covers formation planning for foreign investors. Common structures discussed include limited liability and joint stock companies, as well as the suitability of branches or liaison arrangements. Their permitted activities and practical requirements should be assessed against the proposed business.

Build a consistent incorporation file

Prepare the intended business activities, shareholder and director information, ownership structure and authority to act. Corporate shareholders need to identify the jurisdiction and form of their records so translation and authentication can be planned. Address and accounting arrangements should be agreed with the relevant separately appointed providers.

Plan the next operational steps

Company registration, banking and any sector-specific permissions should be coordinated. Discuss the expected transactions and beneficial ownership when preparing the corporate bank-account application. Foreign trade or regulated activities may require additional specialist input.

Keep relocation objectives visible from the start. A founder who also intends to live or work in Türkiye should obtain separate advice on the relevant requirements; the incorporation documents do not replace an immigration application.
