How It Works
Tax ID Application
We obtain your Turkish tax identification number from the local tax office — the mandatory first step for any business activity in Turkey.
Articles of Association
We draft your company's articles of association — defining its purpose, capital structure, and management — and get everything notarized.
Capital Deposit
We open a corporate bank account in your company's name and deposit the required minimum capital (at least 25% upfront for LLCs).
Trade Registry Filing
All documents are filed with the local Trade Registry Office. Your company gets officially registered and published in the Turkish Commercial Gazette.
Chamber of Commerce Registration
Your company is registered with the relevant Chamber of Commerce or Industry — a legal requirement for all commercial entities operating in Turkey.
Activity Certificate & You're Live
We obtain your official activity certificate, signature circular, and tax plate. Your company is now fully operational — time to do business.
