Update on Minimum Capital Requirements for Companies

With the recent amendment made to the Turkish Commercial Code (Law No. 6102) by Law No. 7511, the minimum capital amounts for Joint Stock and Limited Liability companies have been redefined.

New Minimum Capital Thresholds

According to the regulation, companies with capital below the amounts specified below are required to increase their capital by December 31, 2026:

• Joint Stock Companies (A.Ş.): Companies with a capital below 250,000 TL must increase it to at least 250,000 TL.

• Limited Liability Companies (Ltd. Şti.): Companies with a capital below 50,000 TL must increase it to at least 50,000 TL. 

  
  

Critical Risk: Legal Dissolution The law stipulates that companies failing to increase their capital by the specified deadline will be considered legally dissolved (infisah). Therefore, compliance with this requirement is vital for the continuity of your company’s legal entity.

Process and Planning

Although the final deadline is December 31, 2026, year-end periods often cause significant congestion and procedural delays at the Trade Registry Offices.

To avoid leaving this process to the very last months (November-December 2026), we encourage you to evaluate this matter within your management and initiate the proceedings as soon as possible.
