Structuring an incentivised manufacturing investment
End-to-end structuring of company formation, permits, incentives and compliance processes for a DACH-region investor's incentivised manufacturing investment in Türkiye.
Planning incentives, formation and operations at the same time
While seeking to establish manufacturing capability in Türkiye, the investor had to manage company formation, the investment incentive system, land/facility agreements, work permits, and tax compliance on the same timeline.
The legal planning was not limited to merely forming the company; it focused on making the investment operable in compliance with the incentive conditions.
Our Approach
Keeping the commercial objective at the centre, we broke the legal risks down into measurable steps.
01 · Formation Structure
The company type, capital structure, signing authorities, and intra-group agreements were established in alignment with the investment plan.
02 · Incentive Map
An actionable timeline was prepared for the investment incentive certificate, tax impact, and employment targets.
03 · Compliance & Operations
Employment, data, contract, and administrative permit processes were tied to checklists before going operational.
Chronology
The main stages of the process.
An investment architecture that accelerated the move to operations
Because the investment structure, incentive application and operational contracts were designed together, the investor saw the local risks from the outset and was able to keep to the timetable for starting production.
- Completion of company formation and the signing arrangement
- Legal infrastructure for the incentive application
- An employment law and data compliance starter set
- Local supply and service agreements
