ESBAS calls the entire Investor Contracting Process: "One Stop Shopping". That's because once you complete your due-diligence and decide to become an Investor, our Leasing Consultants will take you through the entire process step-by-step; explaining each requirement in turn; providing all the necessary forms and paperwork; helping you complete them …and then personally taking them through the entire Government bureaucratic process ...which by the way has become much simpler in recent years.

In order to become an ESBAS Investor, the following is required to obtain an Operating License:

• The License Application Form is received from ESBAS
• An Application Fee is deposited to the Free Zones Special Account at the Central Bank of Turkey
• ESBAS examines the Operating License form and attached documents and forwards them to the Free Zones Directorate in Ankara
• The Free Zones Directorate evaluates the Application
• Within 30 days of receipt of written approval of the Application from the Free Zone Directorate, the Applicant must register for a Commercial License and sign a Lease Contract with ESBAS
• A copy of the Lease Contract, which is signed and approved by the Regional Directorate at ESBAS, is sent to the General Directorate
• The Free Zone Directorate sends the applicant firm the operating License
• You're ready to get started

It actually sounds more complicated than it really is. And we'll be there, guiding you through every step of the way. In nearly every case, the entire procedure takes no more than 90 days.
