Branch and Office Setup Consulting

End-to-end consulting for companies opening a new branch, store, office or production facility in Hatay: from site selection to company formation, incentives and licensing.

The advantage of an early presence in a city being rebuilt

Hatay's ongoing reconstruction, with hundreds of thousands of people moving into new housing, is driving serious demand across retail, services, logistics and manufacturing. Companies that open a branch before major chains fill that demand gain a genuine early-mover advantage.

With İskenderun Port, organized industrial zones (OIZs) and strong road connections, Hatay is a strategic logistics hub, not just for local demand but for trade access toward Syria and the broader Eastern Mediterranean. Regional investment incentives, favorable commercial real estate pricing and lower competition make opening a branch in the right sector particularly attractive right now.

We're with you at every step of opening your branch, from site selection to company formation, incentive applications and licensing, with a particular focus on on-the-ground research and risk assessment for companies evaluating the region for the first time.
