Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can you help if my business is already in Turkey and facing a legal issue?2026-04-06T15:54:17+00:00

Absolutely. We work with businesses at every stage — including those already operating in Turkey who need urgent legal support. We assess the situation, advise on your options, and take action fast. You get clear answers and a concrete plan from the very first call.

What permits and licences does a foreign business need in Turkey?2026-04-06T15:52:45+00:00

This depends entirely on your industry and business activities. Some sectors require specific licences from government ministries before operations can begin. We assess your business model and identify every permit you need — then manage the full application process on your behalf.

Do you work with startups as well as established companies?2026-04-06T15:54:35+00:00

Yes. We advise businesses of all sizes — from first-time entrepreneurs entering Turkey to established international companies expanding their operations here. Our advice is always tailored to your specific situation, budget, and goals.

What is the most common legal mistake foreign businesses make in Turkey?2026-04-06T15:53:23+00:00

The most common mistake is signing contracts — with suppliers, landlords, or local partners — without a complete legal review. Turkish contract law has specific rules that differ significantly from most Western legal systems. We review every contract before you sign so your interests are fully protected.

Do I need to be in Turkey to set up and run my business?2026-04-06T15:53:01+00:00

No. We can handle the full company formation and ongoing compliance remotely. With a properly registered power of attorney, we represent your business in Turkey for all legal and government matters. Most of our international clients manage their Turkish operations entirely from abroad.

How do Turkish tax rules apply to foreign-owned businesses?2026-04-06T15:53:50+00:00

Foreign-owned Turkish companies are subject to Turkish corporate tax on their Turkey-based income. We structure your business from the start to ensure full tax compliance while minimising your exposure legally. We also advise on double taxation treaties between Turkey and your home country.

What happens if I have a legal problem with my property in Turkey?2026-03-31T11:28:16+00:00

Do not worry; we are here to protect you. Our Real Estate Litigation team acts quickly to solve disputes. We use our expert legal knowledge to defend your property rights, giving you complete legal protection in and out of court.

We build strong foundations for your company. Before you sign contracts or make big business decisions, we perform complete legal checks. We make sure every agreement is 100% safe and secure, so you can focus on growing your business.

Do I need to be in Turkey to manage my company’s legal setup?2026-03-31T11:30:39+00:00

No. We can handle your corporate governance from our offices in Turkey while you stay home. We work at your speed and provide instant updates. It is a completely easy process, allowing you to manage your global business with zero waiting.

Can you help negotiate contracts with Turkish suppliers or partners?2026-04-06T15:54:51+00:00

Yes. Contract review and negotiation is one of our core services. We check every clause, flag every risk, and negotiate clear, fair terms on your behalf. You never sign a contract in Turkey without knowing exactly what you are agreeing to.

What languages do you work in?2026-04-06T15:55:10+00:00

We work in English and Turkish. All client communication, advice, and document summaries are provided in clear, plain English. All official documents submitted to Turkish authorities are prepared and filed in Turkish by our legal team. You never need to deal with language barriers.

How long does it take to set up a company in Turkey?2026-04-06T15:52:25+00:00

A standard limited liability company in Turkey can be registered in as little as 3 to 7 business days once all documents are ready. We prepare everything in advance so the process moves as fast as possible with zero delays on your end.

Can you help me understand Turkish taxes?2026-03-31T11:30:16+00:00

Yes. We know foreign tax systems can be stressful. We act as your dedicated business partners and explain everything clearly without dense legal jargon. We show you how to follow the legal rules to keep your money safe and maximize your profits.

Can a foreign company operate in Turkey without a local partner?2026-04-06T15:52:05+00:00

Yes. Foreign nationals and companies can own 100% of a Turkish business with no requirement for a local partner. We handle the full registration process — company formation, tax setup, and all government filings — so your business is legally operational from day one.
