In how many days is company incorporation completed?

With the documents complete, the application is prepared through MERSİS and registration at the trade registry usually follows within a few working days. Registration is the moment that matters: it is what gives the company legal personality under the Turkish Commercial Code (No. 6102).

What actually governs the timetable is the chain around it — drafting the articles of association correctly, and, where there is a foreign shareholder or foreign documents, the apostille, translation and notarial steps, plus opening the bank account. A foreign shareholder, whether an individual or a company, adds tax identification number and power-of-attorney steps to the total. After registration, certification of the statutory books and the tax and SGK registrations complete the picture. We run those steps in parallel rather than in sequence, which is what makes the total time predictable and keeps the waiting out of it.
