The Birth of a Corporate Entity
A Founding Contract (Kuruluş Sözleşmesi or Ana Sözleşme), often known as the Articles of Association, is the most fundamental document of a company. It defines the company’s purpose, capital structure, governance, and the rights of its founders. When expanding a business internationally or establishing a subsidiary abroad, this document must be translated with absolute legal precision.
In corporate law, a mistranslated “Scope of Activity” or an error in “Capital Contribution” clauses can lead to the rejection of a company’s registration by the Trade Registry (Ticaret Sicili) or tax authorities. Precision in Corporate Law and Commercial Statutes is non-negotiable.
