Quick answer:<\/strong> A capital increase in Turkey changes the registered share capital of an existing company and normally requires a corporate decision, an amendment to the capital clause, source-specific financial evidence, a MERS\u0130S filing and Trade Registry registration. The correct route depends on whether the company is a limited liability company (Ltd. \u015eti.) or a joint-stock company (A.\u015e.) and whether the increase uses cash, eligible internal resources, an in-kind asset or a shareholder receivable.<\/p>\n

2026 deadline:<\/strong> Existing companies whose registered capital remains below the statutory minimum generally have until 31 December 2026<\/strong> to comply under Turkish Commercial Code Provisional Article 15, unless the period is officially extended. The current minimum is TRY 50,000 for an LLC and TRY 250,000 for a JSC. Because registration gives legal effect to the increase, companies affected by the deadline should not leave the corporate, accounting and registry work until the final days of December.<\/p>\n

Most important distinction:<\/strong> an LLC does not follow the JSC rule requiring at least 25% of newly subscribed cash capital before registration. For an LLC, the newly committed cash amount may generally be paid within 24 months after registration. Existing unpaid capital and the selected funding route must still be checked before the new increase is approved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
