Choosing the right business structure is crucial for your success in Türkiye
Business Entity Structures We Specialize In
Joint-Stock Company
Establish a joint-stock company (Anonim Şirket – A.Ş.) ideal for large-scale operations, public offerings, and businesses requiring significant capital investment. Our Turkish company formation experts handle all complexities of share structures, board formations, and regulatory requirements.
Limited Liability Company
Form a limited liability company (Limited Şirket – Ltd. Şti.), the most popular choice for foreign investors seeking Turkish company formation. This flexible structure offers liability protection, simplified management, and favorable tax treatment for small to medium enterprises.
Branch & Liaison Offices
Expand your existing foreign company through a branch office for direct commercial activities or a liaison office for market research and representation without engaging in profit-generating operations. Both options provide efficient alternatives to full Turkish company formation.

After researching multiple law firms, we selected Akkas & Associates for our joint stock company formation, and it was the best decision. Their 30+ years of experience shows in every interaction. They completed our company registration, obtained our tax number, and opened our corporate bank account in under two weeks. The transparency in pricing and constant communication throughout the process made us feel secure. We’ve already recommended their Turkish company formation services to three business colleagues.

We’ve been working with Akkas & Associates since 2019 for our company maintenance needs across three Turkish entities. Their team keeps us updated on regulatory changes, handles our annual compliance requirements, and provides strategic legal advice whenever we need it. Recently, they assisted with our company liquidation of a subsidiary—a complex process they managed with complete professionalism. Having a trusted legal partner like Akkas & Associates gives us confidence to focus on growing our business.
