Entering the German market
Your reliable partners.
Turkish companies in Germany – tax and legal for M&A, founding a company, and subsidiaries
The close economic ties between Germany and Turkey didn’t start with the Gastarbeiter agreement of the Sixties. Trading relations have existed between the two countries for much longer. As the largest EU economy, Germany is the ideal access point for Turkish companies to enter this economic area. And that’s not the only reason Turkish businesses are so interested in the German market.
Key points in brief
- Tax regulations have to be strategically considered when conducting all M&A deals, transactions and founding a company.
- The business cultures in Turkey and Germany are as different as can be. Mutual consideration is a advantage against the competition and creates understanding.
- Germany works in a bureaucratic way – many things operate by means of applications and public officials. We take care of contacts at governmental bodies and the courts and assist you by being personally involved.
- Employees are subject to German employment legislation. Employees have many rights in Germany that are not even an issue in Turkey. We know German employment law inside-out and create a basis for you that is legally certain.
Germany – at the centre of the EU
As the EU’s largest economy and with a geographically favourable location at the heart of the continent, Germany offers good starting conditions for Turkish businesses. They can gain a foothold in the German market by means of M&A, subsidiaries or other corporate transactions, and in this way tap into the EU. We are a member firm of Grant Thornton International Ltd. and advice you not only about Germany – we also have partners in other European countries. This means plans to expand into other European countries in the future are no problem. We keep your business in one set of hands, whether it’s in Turkey, Germany or worldwide.
