Corporate Secretarial · Service

Every permit your operation requires, from a single source and on time.

From workplace operating permits to sectoral licences, from environmental permits to product certifications, we identify every permit your company's operations require, handle the applications, and track renewal dates on your behalf.

Overview

Operating without a permit is the costliest saving

In Türkiye, a business's operations are subject to a web of permits stretching from municipalities to ministries, from environmental legislation to sector regulators. Digital activity is part of this web as well: for companies selling through their own websites, notification obligations such as ETBİS registration come into play. A missing or expired permit can mean an administrative fine, suspension of operations, and default under client contracts.

We map which permits your operations require; we prepare the application files, follow the process before the relevant authorities, and tie every renewal date into your corporate compliance calendar. For foreign-capital companies, the process runs with multilingual reporting.

Why Köksal?

A team that turns bureaucracy into a predictable process

In permit processes, problems arise less from the legislation itself than from unfamiliarity with inter-agency practice. Drawing on our administrative application experience, we plan timelines realistically, screen out rejection risks before filing, and pursue administrative appeal channels where necessary.

  • A complete, operation-specific permit inventory
  • Realistic timeline planning based on agency practice
  • Rapid response to rejection and deficiency notices
  • Proactive calendar tracking of renewals
  • Integration with administrative appeal and litigation channels

The Team Delivering This Service

With our multilingual team of lawyers, well-versed in Turkish and German law, we are by your side.

A refusal is not the end of it, and these applications are often turned round. The first option is an administrative objection to the authority that made the decision, asking it to withdraw the refusal. If that produces nothing, an action for annulment of the refusal is brought before the administrative court.The clocks are short. Under the Administrative Procedure Law (No. 2577) the period for bringing an action is…

Not always; it depends on the type of licence. Some licences and permits attach to the business itself — to the physical and technical characteristics of the premises — and are easier to carry across on a transfer. Others attach to the operator, and require the acquirer to make a fresh application or to obtain approval of the transfer.The workplace opening and operating licence, for example, usually has to be reissu…

The responsibility rests with the business; however, you can delegate the tracking to us. We monitor all your permits with their validity dates in a single calendar, prepare the renewal files ahead of time, and need you only at the signing stage. The reason tracking matters is the consequence of a lapse: for sanction purposes an expired permit is treated much like never having held one, and some renewals must be fil…

The required permits vary according to your field of activity, the nature of the facility, and its location. We begin the work with an end-to-end analysis of your activity; we gather all obligations at the municipal, ministerial, and sectoral-regulator layers into a single inventory. This map is the foundation of all subsequent steps. In practice almost every physical operation needs a business-opening and operation…

Operating with a deficient licence can give rise to sanctions ranging from an administrative fine to the closure of the business premises. The sanctions are graduated: an administrative fine and suspension of the activity first and, where the deficiency is not made good, sealing and closure of the premises. They rest on the workplace opening-and-operating licence legislation together with the relevant sectoral rules…

As a rule yes, for service providers selling through their own website or mobile application. The obligation comes from the Law on the Regulation of Electronic Commerce (No. 6563) and the ETBİS regulation, and a registration in the Electronic Commerce Information System (ETBİS) can be verified publicly through the system itself.Where you sell only through a marketplace — an intermediary service provider — the notifi…
