Foreign Direct Investment Advisory

Haltin provides field-based advisory to domestic and foreign investors considering a manufacturing or commercial operation in Turkey. We approach investment feasibility and projection as one decision framework that brings together the market, location, incentives, production requirements and practical implementation steps.

Our aim is not merely to deliver a report. We help investors answer: “Where should we invest, at what capacity, under what conditions and in what sequence?” We define work packages suited to the project, from the initial assessment through facility launch and post-investment follow-up.

Investment feasibility and projection

An investment opportunity becomes clear only when market potential, required capacity, cost structure and conditions on the ground are assessed together. We tailor the feasibility scope to the investor’s current decision stage.

Market and sector feasibility

We review the target sector’s manufacturers, importers, exporters, customers and supply chain. Where relevant, products are assessed using international Harmonized System (HS Code) classifications, and available data is supplemented by market interviews.

The analysis can address:

• What drives demand and growth in the target market?
• How are domestic and international competitors positioned?
• Which customer segments and sales channels should be prioritized?
• Are critical inputs and suppliers available in Turkey?
• Can local production create cost or lead-time advantages over imports?

Technical and financial projection

Based on the proposed product, capacity and process, we frame the main investment requirements. Machinery, facility area, infrastructure, energy, labour, logistics and implementation timing are assessed at a level appropriate to the project.

Capital expenditure and operating-cost assumptions are considered alongside utilization, working capital and revenue scenarios. Decision-makers can therefore see not only a base case but also the effect of changes in critical variables.

Feasibility of incentivized region production investments

The feasibility of incentivized region production investments should not be reduced to identifying the highest level of support. A location’s total advantage depends on logistics, proximity to suppliers and customers, skilled labour, reliable energy and infrastructure, as well as its incentive status.

Investment location long list and short list

We research suitable regions across Turkey based on the technical and commercial requirements of the investment. Organized industrial zones, ports and main transport links, supplier clusters, labour pools, land or building options and regional incentive factors are compared.

We apply measurable criteria to move from a long list to a focused short list. Where required, we coordinate site visits, meetings with local institutions and zone management, verification of infrastructure information and presentations to the investor team.

How incentives affect the investment model

Potential incentives are considered together with the assumptions of the project, making their possible effect on capital expenditure, employment, tax and financing visible. For matters that require formal applications or legal interpretation, we coordinate with the relevant legal, tax and incentive specialists.

Medium-scale production investments

Medium-scale production investments require the same planning discipline as larger projects, but they are often delivered by a smaller team and within a tighter timeframe. Haltin provides a practical coordination layer between the investor’s management team and specialists on the ground.

Depending on the mandate, the work may include:

1. Defining investment objectives and success criteria
2. Comparing market, product and capacity scenarios
3. Selecting suitable cities, organized industrial zones or facility options
4. Researching suppliers, partners and service providers
5. Coordinating company formation, permits and licensing workstreams
6. Tracking the implementation schedule, responsibilities and key decision points
7. Following performance and open actions after start-up

Implementation support for foreign investors in Turkey

For an international investor, the local mode of implementation matters as much as feasibility. We help communication with public authorities, organized industrial zones, suppliers and professional service providers progress in the right sequence.

We can work with the investment team on operational steps ranging from company formation and permits to initial recruitment and supplier-network development. This local coordination reduces the information gap between headquarters’ decision standards and operating realities in Turkey.

Post-investment after-care

The investment decision and construction of a facility are not the end of the project. After launch, we can establish a follow-up mechanism for capacity, quality, cost, supply and timing objectives. Keeping open actions, owners and management decisions visible helps the investment develop into a safe and efficient operation.
