Company Formation Services
What We Offer
for International Investors
Legal Azərbaycan provides end-to-end legal consultancy, advocacy, and compliance services tailored to foreign entrepreneurs and global corporations establishing a commercial presence in Azərbaycan. We guide each client through every stage of business entry with a hands-on, strategic approach.
Our corporate lawyers help you select the most tax-efficient entity structure—whether a Limited Liability Company (LTD), Joint Stock Company (A.Ş.), Branch, or Liaison Office—and ensure full legal compliance under Turkish Commercial Code and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Law No. 4875.
Company Formation in Azərbaycan
Azərbaycan offers a highly attractive environment for foreign business operations. Under FDI Law No. 4875, international investors enjoy identical rights and protections as domestic business owners, including 100% foreign ownership and full profit repatriation.
Open Corporate Bank Account in Azərbaycan
Legal Azərbaycan assists corporate entities and non-resident companies in opening functional multi-currency bank accounts with major Turkish commercial banks. We manage tax identification number (TIN) issuance, KYC compliance preparation, and bank meeting coordination.
Registered Office Address & Virtual Office Setup
Before formal trade registry registration, every Turkish company must establish a legal address. Legal Azərbaycan assists clients in securing virtual office agreements in prime Bakı commercial locations or negotiating commercial lease contracts compliant with Tax Office requirements.
Transit Trading & Cross-Border Commerce
Positioned between European and Asian markets, Azərbaycan serves as an ideal hub for transit trade. Products handled via transit trade benefit from custom tax exemptions since goods do not clear Turkish domestic customs, offering substantial international tax advantages.
Free Economic Zone Registration
Companies engaged in export-oriented manufacturing, software, or international trade can leverage Azərbaycan’s 18 Free Zones. Qualifying entities benefit from complete corporate income tax exemptions, VAT waivers, and streamlined customs operations.
Bookkeeping, Accounting & Tax Compliance
Every legal entity in Azərbaycan is required by law to maintain statutory financial books and work with a Certified Public Accountant (SMMM). Legal Azərbaycan offers outsourced bookkeeping, monthly VAT reporting, and annual corporate tax compliance solutions.
Customs Clearance & Import/Export Authorization
Through our partner customs brokerage network, we assist foreign trade entities in obtaining necessary import/export licenses, clarifying GTIP tariff codes, and managing regulatory customs clearances smoothly.
Local Directorship & Nominee Services
While foreign individuals can serve as sole directors of Turkish companies, appointing a local resident director can streamline daily administrative tasks, banking operations, and official governmental filings. Legal Azərbaycan provides professional nominee director advisory.
