Commercial Representation

Commercial representation provides the planning and execution of the commercial activities of foreign private or legal persons who wish to do business in Turkey.

Your commercial representative analyzes the business environment that foreign private and legal entities target in Turkey before carrying out their commercial activities at the planning stage. Where your business also needs suppliers or ongoing supply chain support in Turkey, this is coordinated directly with our Sourcing Agent and Supply Chain Management services.

At the planning stage, your commercial representative prepares a road map showing the steps and workflows to be taken to carry out commercial activities in Turkey.

At this stage, detailed studies are carried out on company formation, human resource planning and tax calculations. As per the scope of Contract Management, the contracts required are prepared in accordance with Turkish law. The budget and costs of the investment or business activity are also calculated at this stage.

Your commercial representative then carries out the activities defined during planning: setting up the agreed structure, managing early-stage operations, and keeping your business running in Turkey without requiring your continuous presence.

Once operations are underway, your commercial representative maintains continuity — monitoring for risks before they arise, and managing recovery and improvement if any unforeseen issues occur. Progress or annual reports are prepared as often as requested. In effect, a commercial representative gives you a Turkey liaison office without leaving your own country.

Why Commercial Representation in Turkey?

Turkey is one of the world’s largest economies, with a young population, strong manufacturing capacity, and a geopolitical position that makes it straightforward to do business in and through. Its location at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia, with strong transport links in every direction, is a major draw for foreign investors. Turkey is also one of the world’s largest exporters across multiple sectors — a clear indicator of its production capacity.

Thanks to this position, your commercial representative can also support your supplier sourcing needs in Turkey directly, working alongside our Sourcing Agent service, and can manage your import processes into Turkey.

With a commercial representative in place, the activities you carry out in Turkey gain the advantages of being local — faster decisions, direct relationships, and a presence on the ground.

Benefits of Commercial Representation

Trading in a new country can be risky and costly. Structuring costs can strain your company’s finances, and if your activities don’t work out, those costs may be wasted.

Maintaining a permanent presence, or traveling constantly to manage activities in Turkey, adds cost and disrupts your operations at home.

A Turkey liaison office reduces structuring costs and risk while saving time, helping your business activities run smoothly without your continuous involvement.

Who Can Benefit from Commercial Representation?

Anyone who wants to enter the Turkish market — buying and selling, renting, setting up a company, or engaging in other commercial activity — can benefit from commercial representation services.
