Our Approach
Why Your Company Structure Must Be Built Around You.
Many companies in Turkey are incorporated quickly — using template contracts and standard articles of association. These shortcuts often surface as serious legal and operational problems years later. At Kopru JSC, every Articles of Association is custom-drafted. Authorities and responsibilities are defined from day one. Your investment deserves a legal foundation built to last.

Common Questions
How long does the company formation process take in Turkey?
Company registration typically takes 2–3 business days for Limited Liability Companies (LLC) and 4–5 business days for Joint Stock Companies (JSC). This timeline assumes all required documents are certified and ready for submission to the Trade Registry.
What is the minimum capital requirement?
The minimum capital for a Limited Liability Company (LLC) is 50,000 TRY (no capital blockage required), while a Joint Stock Company (JSC) requires 250,000 TRY (1/4 capital blockage required). The remaining capital may be paid within 24 months. Depending on your business goals, a higher capital deposit might be strategic for certain permits.
What documents are required for registration?
Required documents include translated and notarized copies of your passport, a Turkish tax ID, and a Power of Attorney if you wish us to execute the formation on your behalf without traveling to Turkey.
Can you assist with opening a corporate bank account?
We coordinate with leading Turkish banks to facilitate the opening of your corporate accounts, ensuring all KYC requirements and regulatory documentation are handled professionally.
Is a physical office address mandatory?
Yes, every Turkish company must have a registered legal address. We can advise on selecting physical premises or assist in arranging virtual office services to meet initial legal requirements.
