Company formation in Turkey
Türkiye’s official investment guide describes MERSIS and Trade Registry procedures, with documentation considerations for foreign shareholders.
Organise the shareholder evidence
Identify whether each proposed shareholder is an individual or a corporate entity and list the available records accordingly. Mark documents requiring professional review for language, certification or signing arrangements. Keep an index showing the source of each version. The aim is a coherent evidence file that can be checked against the current Trade Registry process.
Keep the registry instructions aligned
Reconcile the proposed name, activity, managers and signing powers before documents are executed. Have one person control the instruction sheet and document revisions. Where translations are involved, flag inconsistent names or terminology for the responsible professional rather than correcting legal wording informally. Retain proof of the final instructions supplied to each party.
Maintain records after the initial filing
The closing file should explain what was submitted, what was issued and what remains outstanding. Allocate responsibility for corporate records, official correspondence and future changes. If management or ownership will change soon after establishment, identify that early for professional advice. A good handover makes later reviews possible without reconstructing the process from email attachments.

Questions and answers
How should I organise the initial evidence file?
For Türkiye, prepare shareholder and manager outline, available identity or corporate documents. Record the source of each document and any inconsistent details. Ask the responsible professional to confirm what the actual application requires.
Does this page confirm a fixed price or approval time?
No. Obtain an itemised proposal for your actual Türkiye project. Government decisions, bank reviews and personal immigration matters remain separate dependencies. This page does not establish operating permissions or a guaranteed outcome.
