A Canadian entrepreneur wanted to establish an e-commerce business selling Turkish products internationally. They needed help understanding Turkish company law and tax obligations.
We established a limited liability company in Istanbul, handled trade registry registration, and secured e-commerce operating permits. Our team also arranged corporate banking and obtained an MERSIS digital signature. The company was operational within two weeks, and within six months, the client was shipping products to customers across Europe and North America.
A restaurant group from Lebanon sought to open their first Turkish location in Ankara. They required guidance on licensing, food safety regulations, and local compliance requirements.
