The reliable way to budget a company registration in Türkiye is to separate official amounts from market-priced services. In 2026, the official minimum capital is TRY 50,000 for an LLC and TRY 250,000 for a JSC; the Competition Authority payment is 0.04% of capital. Notary, translation, accounting, address and banking costs vary, so obtain dated written quotes instead of relying on a single package price.
| Cost item | How to budget it | Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum capital | LLC: TRY 50,000; JSC: TRY 250,000 | Ministry of Trade, checked 23 July 2026 |
| Competition Authority share | 0.04% of registered capital | Invest in Türkiye, checked 23 July 2026 |
| Notary and translation | Quote by document count, language and issuing country | Request a dated itemised quote |
| Registered address and accounting | Monthly commercial quote | Confirm scope, tax and cancellation terms |
Build the budget in layers
Start with capital and mandatory registration payments. Add document preparation, sworn translation or apostille work only where the shareholder profile requires it. Keep recurring items such as accounting and address services separate from one-off setup items.
Why a universal total is misleading
Registry practices, the number of shareholders, foreign-issued documents and regulated activities can change the work. A useful proposal names every assumption and states how long the quote remains valid.
Documents and preparation
- Shareholder passports or corporate records
- Proposed company name, activity and address
- Draft shareholding and management structure
- Apostille or consular certification plan for documents issued abroad
- Written quotes with taxes and exclusions shown
Risks and checkpoints
- Treating capital as a service fee
- Using an old online price after official or market changes
- Paying for a virtual address without checking acceptance and mail handling
- Leaving bank onboarding and recurring compliance outside the budget

Frequently asked questions
Is the minimum capital a fee?
No. It is company capital, not a professional or registry fee, and its payment timing depends on the company type.
Can every company use the same cost estimate?
No. Shareholder profile, document origin, address, activity and banking needs change the quote-based items.
Must an LLC pay all capital before registration?
The Ministry of Trade states that LLC capital may be paid within the 24 months following registration; confirm the chosen structure before filing.
How should I compare proposals?
Ask for one-off and recurring items separately, with tax, third-party charges, assumptions and validity date.
