What is the standard of protection in international investment law?
In line with Article 48 of the Turkish Constitution, Article 3 of the Foreign Direct Investment Law stipulates that foreign investors shall be subject to equal treatment with domestic investors.
Frequently Asked Questions about Business & Corporate Law in Turkey
How long does it take to set up a company in Turkey?
The company registration process in Turkey is remarkably efficient. Once all the necessary documents are prepared and signed, a Limited Liability Company (LLC) can typically be officially registered and announced in the Trade Registry Gazette within 3 to 5 business days. Our team’s expertise is in ensuring all preliminary paperwork is flawless to meet these rapid timelines.
Do I need a Turkish partner to start a business in Turkey?
No. Turkish Foreign Direct Investment Law is very liberal and based on the principle of equal treatment. This means you can establish a company in Turkey with 100% foreign capital and ownership. You are not required to have a Turkish citizen as a partner or shareholder.
Can I manage the company formation process remotely from abroad?
Yes, absolutely. By granting a specific Power of Attorney (PoA) to our law firm, we can handle the entire company formation process on your behalf. This includes signing official documents, filing with the Trade Registry, and opening a corporate bank account, all without you needing to be physically present in Turkey.
What are the main legal costs for company formation?
The primary costs associated with company formation include notary public fees, sworn translator fees, Trade Registry announcement fees, and the registration of official books. The largest variable is the legal advisory fee, which depends on the complexity of the company structure. At Pi Legal Consultancy, we provide a clear and transparent fee structure to our clients before the process begins.
Is it mandatory to hire a lawyer to register a company in Turkey?
While it is not legally mandatory for a Turkish citizen, it is practically essential, especially for foreign investors. The process involves complex legal documents (like the Articles of Association) that must be drafted correctly in Turkish. Working with an expert Turkish corporate lawyer ensures the process is not only completed quickly and correctly, but also that your company’s founding documents are structured to protect your legal and commercial interests in the long term.
