Ways to Form a Company in Turkey
Getting a Shelf Company in Turkey
Some of our clients demand a shelf company in Turkey in case they are in a hurry or want to acquire an aged company. Shelf companies are generally chosen by investors who are in a hurry to start their businesses and who need a company with longevity on the market. In recent years, many foreign investors have been interested in businesses in Turkey because of the favorable economic environment.
Buying an Established Business
Our lawyers are prepared to assist you to buy a business in Turkey. Buying an established business rather than setting up a new business has many advantages but is not without risk. You will need to know the advantages and disadvantages of buying an existing business and be clear about your ability to run a business.
Finding a Nominee Shareholder in Turkey
We also can also find a nominee shareholder in Turkey if you don’t want to be shown as a shareholder in your company. If you appoint a nominee shareholder, he would appear to the world to be the owner of the shares, and you get to keep the arrangement a secret. If the appointment is made correctly, you retain all of the rights and benefits of the shares, such as the right to sell the shares, receive dividends, and vote at general meetings.
Finding a Nominee Director in Turkey
Our company formation lawyers in Turkey can assist you to find a nominee director in Turkey if you need a Turkish citizen director. This is a good solution to run your company if you are not living in Turkey. A nominee director is someone who “assists” you to run your company when you are out of Turkey. He can follow up on the tasks that are required by law, pay taxes, go to banks, and sign contracts.
