Our Company Registration Solutions in Türkiye

Our Company Registration Solutions in Turkey

Each business has its own unique needs and can operate in Türkiye under four types of business structures. We first assess your business, recommend the right structure, and register the company for you:

Limited Liability Company (LTD) Registration

We recommend limited liability companies to small businesses that are just starting out. They could be stores that want to sell in Türkiye, contractors, freelancers, etc. You need less capital and a simple process to get started. LLC fits also very well for 100% owned small or medium sized businesses of international companies.

Joint Stock Company (A.Ş.) Registration

This option is best for larger companies with many employees and shareholders. Depending on your needs, setting up this entity can be much more complex, with more steps involved and taking more time and effort. FMC Group has handled many such projects and can provide professional joint stock company registration services.

Branch Office Registration

If you want to open a branch office in Türkiye and want to avoid legal penalties and registration issues, consult FMC Group. We’ll select the right location for you, handle registration, and manage accounts, employees, and local suppliers.

Liaison Office Setup

A liaison office in Türkiye is meant for market research activities. We already offer dedicated services for market research and market visits, so in most cases, you may not need to register a liaison office. However, if you require it for a long-term purpose, we have the expertise to assist you.

What’s Included in Our Company Registration Service

Whats Included in Our Company Registration Service

FMC Group is a people-first company that prioritizes human interaction and client satisfaction. When you choose our company registration service, the following things are automatically included:

Legal Entity Structuring and Advisory

This is about choosing the right presence, not registering fast. FMC Group first evaluates market strategy, business potential, control needs, flexibility, and risk. We advise clients on whether they should form an LLC, a joint stock company, a branch office, or a liaison office.

This advisory prevents:

  • Over-investing too early

  • Choosing the wrong legal form

  • Creating tax or liability exposure

This step is consultative, not administrative.

Preparation of Articles of Association

The Articles of Association define the company legally and operationally. FMC Group drafts the Articles and ensures they align with the Turkish Commercial Code. For more complex articles that need legal consultancy partner lawyers get involved. We also use the correct wording for the company’s purpose, share capital, management structure, and representation authority. Our expert aligns the Articles with market standards, not just minimum legal compliance.

Trade Registry and MERSİS Registration

This is the formal incorporation step. At this stage, the Articles are entered into MERSİS, Türkiye’s central registration system. The company is registered with the local Trade Registry, and the company registration is published in the official Trade Registry Gazette. FMC Group handles the entire process and ensures compliance checks pass smoothly.

Notarization and Document Handling

Türkiye is a notary-heavy jurisdiction.

 

This includes:

  • Passport copies
  • Powers of attorney
  • Signature declarations of managing directors
  • Apostille coordination for documents issued abroad
  • Notarized translations of all foreign documents

 

FMC Group:

  • Tells the client what must be notarized where
  • Arranges certified translations locally
  • Coordinates Turkish notarizations

 

Tax Office and Social Security Registration

Company registration does not automatically mean tax readiness.

After incorporation:

  • The company must be registered with the tax office

  • The office lease must be declared

  • Registration with the Social Security Institution is required when you start hiring staff

FMC Group ensures:

  • No compliance gaps from day one

  • Smooth transition from legal setup to operational readiness

Liaison with Authorities on Your Behalf

This is about representation and credibility.

FMC Group:

  • Communicates directly with:

    • Trade Registry

    • Tax offices

    • Ministries (for liaison offices)

    • Chambers of Commerce

  • Responds to authority questions or clarifications

  • Prevents delays caused by procedural misunderstandings

Virtual Office and Registered Address Support

A registered address is mandatory at incorporation.

For clients who have their accounting management at FMC Group, we can provide:

  • Office address solutions if the client does not yet have premises

  • Mail handling support

  • Address compliance for tax registration

This is positioned as:

  • A practical entry solution

  • Especially useful for early-stage market entry or remote management

It removes the need to secure physical office space before incorporation.

End-to-End Representation via Power of Attorney

This is the backbone of an efficient remote registration process. Power of Attorney allows FMC Group to:

  • Sign Articles of Association

  • Complete registry filings

  • Represent shareholders and directors

  • Handle notarizations and authority interactions

How to Work with FMC Group?

How to Work with FMC Group

Here is the six-step simple process to work with FMC Group to register your company in Türkiye:

Initial Consultation and Scope Definition

The client explains business goals, timelines, and expectations. After that, FMC Group assesses the market entry strategy, business potential, control and flexibility requirements, and whether a subsidiary, branch, liaison office, or employee leasing makes sense.

Assignment of a Dedicated Türkiye Consultant

FMC Group operates with named responsibility. This means the client gets a specific consultant, not a shared inbox. This person coordinates with local authorities, tax calculations, and internal FMC Group resources.

Documentation Collection and Review

This step focuses on preparing clean, compliant inputs. FMC Group provides document templates and samples and explains which documents must be notarized, apostilled, and translated. FMC Group also reviews documents before submission.

Execution Through Power of Attorney

This is where FMC Group begins acting on your behalf. With a power of attorney, FMC Group signs and submits documents in Türkiye and represents shareholders before the Trade Registry, notaries, and tax offices. FMC Group also completes all steps without requiring client travel.

Company Incorporation and Official Registration

This is the legal completion point. At this stage, the Articles of Association are signed, the Trade Registry registers the company, registration is published in the official gazette, and a tax number is issued. FMC Group manages timing, authority coordination, and formal completion.

Post-Incorporation Support and Handover

We intentionally added this step to give our clients confidence that we do not disappear after registration. Our support typically involves coordination with tax consultants, payroll and HR setup (if needed), banking support, and ongoing compliance or expansion services.
