Business Setup & Entry to Türkiye

Business Setup & Entry to Türkiye

End-to-end support for foreign companies establishing and legalising operations in Türkiye.

Establishing in Türkiye involves the trade registry, the tax office, the social security institution and — depending on your sector — a licensing authority. Each has its own documentation standard, and most require notarised and apostilled parent-company documents.

We run the whole sequence, from the feasibility study that justifies the investment through to the permits that let you operate.

Before you commit

The decisions taken at entry are the expensive ones to reverse. Entity type affects share transfers and capital requirements for the life of the company. Location affects incentive eligibility. Employment structure affects your ability to bring in expatriate staff.

We would rather advise on those before the board approves than restructure afterwards.

Frequently asked

Which entity type should we choose?
It depends on whether you intend to trade, and how much local autonomy you want. A representative office cannot trade but is light to run; a branch trades under the parent; a local corporation is a separate legal entity. We assess your intended activity and recommend the structure before you commit.
Can you help us find a Turkish partner?
Yes. Local partner matching and introduction is part of this service, along with due diligence, negotiation support and contract drafting for joint ventures and acquisitions.
