The transportation and storage industries go hand in hand in Turkey and many enterprisers prefer to set up business which cover both transportation via railways, air, maritime and land and storage. Our lawyers in Turkey can offer information on the legislation governing transportation.
Steps to set up a transport and storage business in Turkey
The best structure for opening a transportation and storage company is the Turkish limited liability company because these are usually medium-sized businesses which need an appropriate entity. Following the registration of the company, the enterpriser must prepare the fleet through which the merchandise will be transported.
Turkey’s location is a great advantage if considering the possibility of transporting goods by land, because the formalities are simpler for freight companies. In this case, the Turkish company must purchase trucks and register them with the Land Transportation Authority.
Another important aspect when opening a transportation company in Turkey is hiring truck drivers with TIR carnets. Our law firm in Turkey can assist with the registration of the company.
