It depends on the transaction. A simple change of legal form — a limited liability company becoming a joint-stock company, say — is usually done within a few weeks. Mergers, demergers and forming a holding take a few months, because of the valuation, the interim balance sheet, the creditor-protection steps and the sequence of registrations they require.
These follow the procedure in Article 134 and following of the Turkish Commercial Code (No. 6102), and the tax dimension — and where relevant the competition one — affects the timetable as well. Timing matters for its own sake: planning the transaction so that it does not collide with profit distribution, audit or tax periods prevents rights being lost along the way. We sequence the steps and the general assembly resolutions against your own business calendar, and give you a timetable that removes as much of the uncertainty as possible at the outset.
