Türkiye Guide

Common transaction structures

Most transactions take one of a few shapes: a direct asset purchase, a share purchase, a partnership or a staged investment. Each carries different documentation, approval and liability profiles.

Asset deal vs share deal

In an asset deal, specific property, equipment or business elements are transferred. In a share deal, the company itself changes hands — together with its contracts, debts and obligations, which makes due diligence more critical.

Partnership and minority stake structures

Not every opportunity is a full sale. Capital injections, joint ventures and minority stakes are common; governance terms and exit mechanics deserve early attention.

Sector-specific restriction awareness

Some sectors and asset classes — including certain energy assets and agricultural land — may involve additional permissions or restrictions for foreign investors. Affected opportunities are flagged for preliminary review before access.

Identity and source-of-funds verification

Cross-border transactions involve identity, entity and source-of-funds verification. Expect to provide supporting documentation as the process deepens.

Sworn translation and apostille

Underlying documents are in Turkish; sworn translation and, where needed, notarisation or apostille are standard practice. A bilingual transaction glossary keeps terminology consistent.

Local advisor network

Legal, tax, audit, valuation and incorporation work is carried out by licensed local professionals acting under their own responsibility. Where the platform makes an introduction, any commercial relationship is disclosed.

What we do not cover

Citizenship, residency and immigration matters are outside our scope, as is any form of investment advice. Regulatory specifics change; every transaction is confirmed with licensed local advisors.
