Set up a company in Turkey with structure, banking and compliance
Creating a company in Turkey can look fast. Creating the right structure for an international entrepreneur, investor or family requires method. The real subject is not only registration: it is banking, accounting, tax, flows, contracts, offices, team, compliance and the link with your personal residence. Bosphoras coordinates company formation as a private desk: before registration, we structure.
The first mistake is to create a company before knowing exactly what it must do. Consulting, import-export, a family holding, a service company, a regional office, manufacturing or a commercial presence do not require the same structure. Bosphoras first clarifies the activity, shareholders, countries involved, clients, flows, banking needs, premises and tax exposure.
Business model, countries of invoicing and expected flows
Commercial presence, operating company, holding, office or service structure
Banking, accounting, legal and administrative needs before incorporation
Coordination with qualified lawyers, tax advisors and accountants

A company that works, not only a company that exists
Registration is not enough. A company must invoice, receive funds, pay, hire, rent, sign, justify flows, keep clean accounting and answer questions from a bank or international partner. Bosphoras coordinates operational steps so the company becomes a usable tool, not just an administrative document.
Company formation coordinated with qualified professionals
Accounting, tax, payroll and documentation setup
Banking file preparation and business evidence
Offices, address, insurance, contracts, translations and launch organization
03
Banking, compliance and source of funds
Banking is often the sensitive point. Banks do not only look at company documents: they review shareholders, source of funds, residence country, real activity, clients, amounts, currencies and coherence. Bosphoras prepares the ground without promising the bank decision. The objective is a clear, prudent and professional file.
Banking narrative: who you are, what the company does and why Turkey
Source of funds, expected flows and activity documentation
Coordination with banks, private bankers or financial contacts when possible
Prudent approach: no bank account guarantee and no unrealistic promise
04
Tax, VAT, payroll and accounting without improvisation
A poorly structured company can become expensive: VAT misunderstood, payroll not anticipated, incomplete contracts, personal tax forgotten, inconsistency between residence and activity. Bosphoras coordinates key questions with accountants, tax advisors and lawyers so the founder understands what is being created and what obligations follow.
Accounting, filings, VAT, withholding, payroll and recurring obligations
Coordination between company tax and founder personal tax exposure
Client, supplier, employee, shareholder and service provider contracts
Document discipline from day one

Who is it for?
Bosphoras supports clients for whom a Turkish company is part of a wider project: relocation, investment, import-export, international services, property, regional office, family activity or private presence. The private desk connects the company with the client’s real life: banking, residence, tax, housing, offices, insurance, transport and local network.
