01
The most expensive mistake: consulting too late
Many projects begin with an opportunity: an apartment in Istanbul, a villa in Bodrum, a company to create, a residence application, a bank account. But when legal and tax questions come after the decision, the client may discover risks too late: poorly anticipated tax residence, unsuitable company structure, undocumented banking flows, weak contracts or insufficient property checks. Bosphoras brings the analysis upstream.
- Understand the client profile, residence country and source of funds
- Identify sensitive issues before purchase, incorporation or family relocation
- Prepare the right questions for lawyers, tax advisors, accountants and banks
- Avoid quick promises on tax, residence, citizenship or returns
02
Legal, tax and patrimonial coordination
A project in Turkey should not be assessed only from Turkey. A French, Kazakh, British, Gulf or other resident does not face the same obligations or risks. Bosphoras coordinates a cross-border reading: Turkish law, local taxation, tax rules in the departure country, property, company, banking, family and asset protection.
- Tax residence and administrative residence: two different subjects
- Turkish company: real activity, accounting, VAT, payroll, banking and compliance
- Property: title, contract, payment, succession and potential rental use
- Banking and transfers: documentation, compliance, source of funds and timing
03
What Bosphoras does — and does not do
Our position is deliberately clear. Bosphoras is not a law firm, does not provide regulated tax opinions and does not promise administrative outcomes. We prepare the file, select the right contacts, organize exchanges, translate the issues, centralize decisions and make sure the client is not left alone with disconnected providers.
- Coordination with lawyers, tax advisors, accountants, notaries, banks and insurers
- Preparation of documents, questions, priorities and scenarios to review
- Confidential follow-up of exchanges and next steps
- No replacement of regulated professionals and no promised result

Common cases: residence, company, property, family
The initial need may seem simple: live in Turkey, buy property, create a company, open an office, protect the family or organize income. In practice, these subjects overlap. A company may change tax exposure. A property purchase may raise succession issues. Family relocation may create obligations in several countries. A fund transfer may require clean documentation.
- Full or partial relocation to Turkey
- Company formation, holding, consulting, import-export or international services
- Property purchase, rental, second home or family base
- Coordination with existing advisors in France, Kazakhstan, Dubai, the UK or other jurisdictions
05
A method designed for international clients
True luxury is not speed. It is not making the wrong decision. Bosphoras operates like a private desk: assessment, risk mapping, professional selection, appointment coordination, document follow-up and decision synthesis. The client keeps one point of contact while each sensitive issue remains handled by the qualified professional.
- Confidential assessment of personal, family, tax and professional situation
- Legal and tax roadmap before any major decision
- Local coordination in Istanbul, Bodrum and Antalya when needed
- Support through Private Desk or Bosphoras Private Access for validated profiles
