Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between a limited liability company and a joint stock company?

In a joint stock company the transfer of shares is generally freer and public offering is possible; in a limited liability company the transfer is subject to formal requirements and, as a rule, to general assembly approval. Regarding public receivables, shareholders of a limited liability company may be held directly liable in proportion to their capital shares for public debts that cannot be collected from the company, whereas in a joint stock company this liability is directed primarily at board members. Minimum capital amounts also differ.

What are the stages of incorporating a company?

Determining the company type and field of activity, preparing the articles of association, filing through the MERSİS system, blocking or undertaking the required portion of the capital, registration with the trade registry directorate and announcement in the Turkish Trade Registry Gazette. The company acquires legal personality upon registration; tax office registration and the certification of statutory books follow.

How is a share transfer carried out in a limited liability company?

Under Article 595 of the Turkish Commercial Code, the transfer of a capital share requires a written transfer agreement certified by a notary. Unless the articles of association provide otherwise, the transfer must be approved by the general assembly, then recorded in the share ledger and registered with the trade registry. Transfers that do not comply with these formal requirements are not valid.

On what grounds may a shareholder withdraw or be expelled?

In a limited liability company a shareholder may exercise a withdrawal right provided for in the articles of association, and may also ask the court to permit withdrawal where just cause exists (TCC Art. 638). Conversely, where just cause exists the company may apply to the court for the expulsion of a shareholder (TCC Art. 640). In both cases payment of a departure share to the outgoing shareholder arises.

What can a shareholder do if dividends are not paid?

A dividend claim arises only once the general assembly has resolved on distribution. If such a resolution exists and payment is not made, the shareholder may bring an action or initiate enforcement proceedings for the dividend receivable. If the decision not to distribute profit is considered contrary to the law, the articles of association or the rule of good faith, an action for annulment of the general assembly resolution arises.
