General

How long has Turk Consultant been in business?

Our core team has worked in the Turkish engineering industry since 1987. Since 2003 we have provided consultancy services under the Turk Consultant name.

What expertise does your team have?

Our team is made up mainly of engineers and economists, which allows us to assess projects for both technical feasibility and economic viability. Where legal or financial expertise is required, we work in coordination with the relevant specialists.

Do you work with foreign companies and investors?

Yes. We advise foreign companies and investors looking to invest in Türkiye, find business partners or enter the Turkish market. Our representatives abroad make communication easier throughout the process.

How do you protect the confidentiality of our information?

We use the business information you share only as far as the work requires and do not pass it to third parties without your consent. Where needed, a non-disclosure agreement can be signed before work begins.

How can I contact you?

You can reach us by phone, by email or by filling in the form on our contact page. Once we receive your enquiry, we'll get in touch to arrange an initial meeting.

Foreign trade and exports

How do you support a company that is new to exporting?

We first assess your product's export potential and its fit with target markets. We then prepare a roadmap covering market research, country selection, pricing and sales channel strategy. We also stay with you on operational matters such as contracts, payment and delivery terms, shipping and customs clearance.

How do you choose target markets?

We compare countries on demand for your product, competition, price levels, customs and regulatory conditions and logistics costs. We then report the priority markets and the recommended entry route, with the reasoning behind them.

What support do you offer at trade fairs?

For fairs in Türkiye and abroad, we work with you on choosing the right event and the products to exhibit, and on inviting the visitors you want to meet. During the fair we accompany visitors and provide on-site support so that your meetings are productive.

Do you also help with imports?

Yes. Our foreign trade consultancy covers imports as well as exports. We support you with supplier research, contract and delivery terms, import permits and customs clearance.

Can you help us comply with regulations in the target country?

Yes. We identify the documentation, labelling, standards and permits your product needs to be sold in the target country and plan the compliance process. Where necessary, we draw on local sources through our representatives abroad.

Government incentives

What is an investment incentive certificate?

An investment incentive certificate allows qualifying investments to benefit from state support in areas such as taxes, social security premiums and customs duties. Applications are made through the incentive system run by the Ministry of Industry and Technology. The support available depends on the subject, location and size of the investment.

Which institutions' support programmes do you work with?

Our main areas include export support from the Ministry of Trade, investment and R&D support from the Ministry of Industry and Technology, development agency programmes, support from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, and incentives for tourism investments.

How can we find out which programmes our project qualifies for?

Once we have details of your project's subject, location, size and timeline, we carry out a preliminary eligibility assessment based on current legislation. We then tell you clearly which programmes stand out and what an application would require.

Do you guarantee that applications will be approved?

No. The final decision on any incentive or grant always rests with the relevant institution, and no consultant can guarantee it. What we do is make sure your application is complete, accurate and compliant, and that the process is followed closely.

Does the process continue after support is granted?

Most support programmes come with obligations, expenditure documentation and reporting requirements. We also help with monitoring the certified investment, revisions and completion procedures.

Investment and energy

How do you support foreign investors looking to invest in Türkiye?

We identify sectors and projects that match your investment goals and brief you on market and regulatory conditions. We coordinate with the relevant specialists on the administrative and legal steps to help your investment move forward smoothly.

Can you help us find financing for our investment project?

Matching investment projects with suitable investors and sources of finance is part of what we do. We also help prepare the feasibility study and business plan needed to present your project to investors. Whether financing is provided is ultimately up to the parties involved.

Which energy investments do you advise on?

We advise on energy investment projects, particularly those based on renewable sources such as hydropower, wind, solar and geothermal. Our services cover feasibility, planning, project development, legal permits and licensing, as well as branding and communication.

Why are permits and licences so important in energy projects?

In energy investments, licensing, pre-licensing, grid connection and environmental permits directly affect both the timeline and the cost of the project. Planning these processes properly from the outset reduces the risk of delays and unexpected costs later on.

What does a feasibility study cover?

A feasibility study brings together a project's technical viability, market conditions, investment and operating costs, revenue projections, financing structure and risks. Its purpose is to make sure the investment decision rests on solid data.
