If you’re doing business in Turkey, “guarantee” is not the only security tool. A pledge (rehin) can give creditors real leverage by securing a debt with assets such as movable property, receivables, shares, inventory, or equipment. For debtors, pledges can be an efficient way to obtain financing without giving personal guarantees—if structured carefully. This guide […]
When a creditor asks for a “guarantee” in Turkey, many businesses sign quickly—especially in urgent deals (leases, supply contracts, loans). But guarantees can create serious, long-term exposure, particularly for founders and foreign directors who don’t realize what they are committing to. The type of guarantee, who signs it, and how it is drafted can determine […]
happen not because the debtor has no money, but because the contract is vague: unclear scope, unclear acceptance, unclear invoicing, unclear interest/penalty rules, or no security. If you draft your commercial contract correctly, you reduce the chance of enforcement proceedings and increase your leverage if payment is delayed. This guide explains commercial contract clauses in […]
Even strong contracts don’t always guarantee payment. In Turkey, when an invoice remains unpaid or a debtor stops responding, creditors typically move from negotiation to debt collection and enforcement (icra). The key is speed and documentation: the earlier you act and the cleaner your evidence file is, the stronger your recovery position usually becomes. This […]
When a company in Turkey enters financial distress, the legal risk landscape changes fast. Decisions that would be normal in good times—paying one supplier first, selling assets quickly, taking new orders, borrowing short-term—can become high-risk if insolvency is looming. For foreign-owned companies, this “danger zone” is even more sensitive because documentation gaps, related-party payments, or […]
When a company in Turkey is under heavy debt pressure but still has a viable core business, bankruptcy is not always the best (or only) outcome. Concordat in Turkey (konkordato) is a court-supervised restructuring mechanism designed to give the debtor time and legal protection to negotiate a payment plan with creditors. For many businesses, concordat […]
When a company in Turkey cannot pay its debts as they fall due, the situation can quickly shift from a commercial problem to a legal crisis. The word “bankruptcy” (iflas) is often used loosely, but in practice bankruptcy in Turkey is a structured legal process with major consequences for the company, creditors, and—indirectly—management decisions made […]
When a company enters voluntary liquidation in Turkey, control typically shifts from “normal management” to the liquidator. Many shareholders—especially foreign shareholders—assume liquidation is a simple administrative wrap-up. In reality, the liquidator’s decisions determine whether the company exits cleanly or ends up stuck due to creditor disputes, tax/SGK problems, or allegations of improper asset handling. This […]
Closing a business in Turkey is not as simple as stopping operations. If you want a clean and legally safe exit, you must follow a company liquidation process in Turkey that properly documents the decision to dissolve, appoints liquidators, settles debts, and completes registrations and filings. Foreign shareholders often underestimate how much time and compliance […]
Many companies in Turkey don’t fail because of market conditions—they fail because of weak governance and weak controls: unclear authority, undocumented decisions, uncontrolled payments, and compliance gaps. These issues become especially risky in foreign-owned companies where shareholders are not physically present and rely on reports rather than daily oversight. This guide explains corporate governance in […]
