The Basic Requirements For Any Business in Turkey

Government Policies

Turkey has clear government policies on foreign investment, and all of them are beneficial to foreign investors. All of them are changed regularly to protect the interests of foreign investors; not only that, with the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) laws, the government’s goals to protect company setups are also quite apparent.

Social and Political Stability

Turkey’s social and political structure is really very strong so that you can blindly rely on the situation so that it will never be so bad that it can harm your business. Turkey is the most secular, open-minded, and progressive country among Muslim population dominant countries.

The Market

Turkey is a developed and newly industrialized country that has a great market due to its fast economic growth and continuously increasing population.

Demand

Infrastructures

Turkey’s infrastructure is remarkable for a developing market, but the country will confront problems in handling its rapidly growing population in the future years. Despite this, Turkey’s infrastructure is comparable to that of EU members.

Transport System

Turkey has a very smooth and speedy transport system that always helps in business. Turkey has a large public transportation system. Suburban trains, city buses, metro, tram, minivan, and taxis are all available for usage in all major and touristy sites.
