Corporate secretarial in Turkey

Corporate secretarial work in Turkey covers the company’s legal life after registration: general assembly and board or manager resolutions, the share or partners’ records, changes of address, capital, managers or shareholders, and the filings that make those changes official in the trade registry. For an owner abroad, each of these usually means signed documents, sometimes notarised and sometimes translated, so the practical work is preparing them in the right form and getting them signed without a trip to Turkey.

What to ask a corporate secretarial firm in Turkey

Ask what the firm does each year without being asked, such as preparing the annual general assembly, and what it does only on request. For a change, ask which documents must be signed before a notary, whether a Turkish consulate or a notary in your country can be used, and when an apostille is needed. Ask whether the firm keeps the company’s resolution books and share records, and how you can see them from abroad. Ask how it prices each change, since a new manager and a capital increase are different amounts of work.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sign Turkish company resolutions from abroad?

Often, yes, before a notary or a Turkish consulate in your country, with an apostille or translation where needed. Ask the firm which route the registry accepts for the change you are making before you sign anything.

Which company changes are filed with the Turkish trade registry?

In general, changes to the company's managers, address, capital, articles or ownership are registered, and some are published. Ask the firm which of your planned changes need a filing and how long registration usually takes.
