Whether you are pivoting your business structure or planning a strategic exit, we handle the Turkish bureaucracy so you can move forward.

Business needs change over time. You might need to bring in new partners, move your headquarters, increase your capital, or perhaps decide to close your operations in Turkey.

In Turkey, these are not just administrative tasks; they are formal legal procedures that require updates to the Trade Registry and Tax Office. Mistakes here can lead to fines or blocked trade activities. We manage these transitions for you.

Company Amendments

Modifying your existing business

We handle all official changes to your company's Articles of Association.

  • Share Transfers: Buying or selling shares requires a notary process and Trade Registry approval. We oversee the share transfer agreement and General Assembly meetings.
  • Address Change: Moving your office? It is not just about updating your website. We register the new address to prevent tax office penalties.
  • Capital Increase: If your company equity has eroded or you need more funds for investment, we manage the capital injection process legally.
  • Manager Appointment: We handle the appointment or dismissal of company directors and update their signature circulars.
  • Title & Activity Change: Rebranding or changing your business focus requires an official amendment to your company scope.

Company Liquidation

Closing down operations (Tasfiye)

Closing a company in Turkey is stricter than opening one. It is a process that protects creditors and the government.

Important Reality Check:

Liquidation is not instant. The standard legal duration is minimum 6 months (after the first creditor announcement). During this time, the company must have a "Liquidator" appointed.

  • Step 1: Decision to Liquidate: We prepare the General Assembly resolution to officially start the "In Liquidation" status.
  • Step 2: Appointment of Liquidator: We assign the liquidator (Tasfiye Memuru) who will be responsible for the closing process.
  • Step 3: Creditor Calls: We publish the mandatory announcements in the Trade Registry Gazette to invite creditors.
  • Step 4: Final Closing: After the waiting period and paying all debts/taxes, we file for the final deregistration of the company.
