Turkey provides strategic advantages for business. Its location and proximity to Europe attract international trade and e-commerce companies. Turkey has a dynamic economy that attracts venture capital, crypto investors, and other financial companies. The Turkish government is party to various bilateral trade agreements, making it further attractive due to low tariffs.

Company Formation in Turkey for Foreigners
The most common type of company established by foreigners in Turkey is a limited liability company. A limited liability company is recommended for foreigners due to its ease of establishment, a relatively simple management structure, and lower maintenance costs. The joint-stock company is a more complex form that we recommend only for specific long-term business goals.
Limited vs Joint-Stock Company in Turkey
In Turkey, limited liability companies and joint-stock companies are the most popular company types. Although we generally advise choosing a limited liability company because it is easier and cheaper to maintain, the joint-stock company may be required for specific purposes — including IPOs, crowdfunding, and venture capital transactions.
Board of Directors in Joint-Stock Companies
A board of directors meeting in joint stock companies may be held either physically or electronically. The possibility of holding a board of directors meeting electronically is expressly regulated under Article 1527 of the Turkish Commercial Code, provided that the statutory requirements are met.
