Local Representation and Support in Türkiye for Chinese Companies

For Chinese companies considering setting up in Türkiye, the first obstacle is often access to reliable information and the right counterparties in Chinese. Conveying legislation, the incentive system, organised industrial zones and local business culture from reliable sources and in clear language makes the right first steps easier.

Scouting visits are planned; meetings with suppliers, distributors and owners of sites and facilities are organised, and Chinese – Turkish interpreting is provided throughout. Meeting outcomes are reported in Chinese.

Legal and financial procedures such as company formation, tax registration and work and residence permits are carried out by lawyers, certified public accountants and the relevant public authorities. Communication between the company and these professionals, document translation and schedule tracking are handled; no legal or financial advice is given.

The aim is to be a single local point of contact throughout the process: accompaniment and interpreting at banks, notaries, tax offices, the social security institution and the migration authority; searching for offices, warehouses, facilities and housing; recruitment and finding local suppliers are all coordinated within the same structure. Procedures requiring a formal power of attorney are handled through a lawyer.

Local knowledge of the automotive, textile and machinery industries in Bursa and the Marmara Region allows direct on-the-ground support for companies setting up in these areas. For meetings in the region, a Chinese interpreter in Bursa is scheduled on site.
