Trading mainly is general trading. Supplying various equipment, construction materials. I was thinking of either setting up a UAE mainland/free zone company or an Armenian free zone company. I know that in UAE to open a bank account is extremely difficult nowadays, but what about Armenia?Sols said:
What kind of trading?
In most cases, I'd recommend starting with a local company. Focus on growing the business. If you form a foreign company and don't comply with all applicable tax laws and reporting obligations (both in Turkey and where the company is formed), you're setting yourself up for a lot of headaches in the future.
What advantages do you seek by forming a foreign company? Keep in mind that any foreign/offshore company that you own and control from Turkey is tax resident in Turkey and must pay Turkish tax.

it goes hand in hand.. I would look into UAE - in both cases you will have to travel to get a bank account setup.unipin said:

I'm not familiar with Armenian free zone companies but if you're looking in that region, I'd take Georgia or even Azerbaijan over Armenia in most cases. But I'd take UAE over them all because it's a much more well known jurisdiction with better banking options and a simple tax system.unipin said:

Turkey is difficult to conduct business in the time we live. At least if you do business outside of Turkey!
