Business Consulting in Istanbul — Cafe, Restaurant & Fast Food Setup in Turkey

From idea to opening day — specialist business consulting in Istanbul with 5 years of hands-on experience in the Turkish market

Starting a business in Turkey comes with specific challenges — regulations, location, suppliers, interior, branding, and understanding a market you may not yet know. Many entrepreneurs face avoidable problems because they didn't have someone who had already walked this path. I have — and I can help you avoid the same mistakes.

Why Consult With Someone Who's Actually Done It?

The difference between good and bad consulting is that good consulting comes from direct experience in the same market, not from textbooks. I've lived and worked in Istanbul for 5+ years — I've built real businesses in this city and understand how the cafe and restaurant market in Turkey actually works.

As someone who is both a business consultant and a brand designer, I can help you not only launch your business, but start with the right brand and visual identity from day one.

FAQ — Business Consulting in Turkey

How much capital is needed to open a cafe in Istanbul?

It depends on the model and location. A small cafe with the right concept can start with a reasonable budget. In the consulting session, we'll review the most realistic path based on your budget and goals.

Can I start a business in Istanbul without speaking Turkish?

Yes — many successful entrepreneurs in Istanbul started without fluent Turkish. In the early stages, I can help bridge the communication between you and the Turkish market.

Is consulting available online?

Yes. Consulting sessions can be conducted via video call. However, if you're in the execution phase and need on-site support (location scouting, visits), in-person sessions in Istanbul are available.

Do you only consult or do you also design the brand?

Both. As a brand designer with 15 years of experience, I can guide your business from idea to a complete brand with professional visual identity. This combination is one of the key advantages of working with me.
