Details for Branch Office Formation in Turkey

A Turkish branch office or a non-Turkish company branch has autonomous capital and accounting to carry out commercial transactions with third parties, although they are closely associated with the parent company in respect of internal management. This means that rights, debts, profits, and losses of the branch offices are assumed by the parent company.

A branch office can only engage in activities of its parent company. It cannot provide goods and services or engage in any commercial activities that are not specified in the parent company’s articles of association. Although there is no legal capital requirement for branch offices, it is required that the incorporating company maintains a capital sufficient to run the branch office in practice.

A branch office shall use the same corporate name as that of the parent company by indicating that it is a branch office and also contain the location of the head office and the branch office. A fully authorized commercial representative (branch office manager) residing in Turkey needs to be appointed to run the day-to-day business of the branch office. If the manager is Turkish it will be easier, if he is a foreigner, we must obtain residency for him at first.

In order to set up a branch office in Turkey, we will file our application with the below documents at the Ministry of Trade in Ankara. Once the branch office license is granted, then we will proceed to finalize formation procedures at the local chamber of commerce and the tax office.
