What is a Limited Liability Company? What are the Documents Required to Establish a Limited Liability Company?

Limited liability companies are a type of company that can be established today. Companies can be established as joint stock, limited liability, limited partnership, limited partnership, collective and cooperative companies. First of all, limited liability companies are companies established by one or more real or legal persons under a trade name. These types of companies have a definite capital and this capital consists of the sum of the capital shares. Limited liability companies, which can be established for any economic purpose and subject by law, cannot only engage in insurance and banking activities.

The number of partners in limited liability companies varies between 1 and 50. These partners are not responsible for the general debt of the company, but only for the capital they have committed. At the same time, they must fulfill the additional payment and side performance obligations stipulated in the company agreement.

In limited liability companies, a share ledger containing the actual capital shares is kept. All information about the partners and the capital they have contributed is kept in these share books. Shareholders have the right to examine the share books at any time.

According to the laws of the Republic of Turkey, the minimum capital amount required to establish a limited liability company is 10,000 TL. Each partner can enter with a minimum capital of 25 TL and their shares can increase in multiples of 25 TL.

Management and representation rights in limited liability companies are regulated by the representation company agreement. According to this agreement, one or more partners who have the title of manager may acquire the right of representation and management or transfer it to a third party.

In such companies, trade names cannot be arranged in a way to convey false information to third parties about the identity and financial status of the merchant. The words “Turk”, “Turkey”, “Republic” and “National” may only be added to the trade name by a decree of the Council of Ministers. Another important issue is that at least one of the business subjects must be included in the trade name and this subject cannot be abbreviated.

Limited liability companies, which are a sub-branch of companies, are also subject to tax. The Corporate Tax rate is set at 20% of the tax base. As a detailed information, when such companies distribute dividends, they are obliged to withhold 15% Income Tax on the dividends they distribute.
