Choose consultant support carefully
The trade volume USD between the USA and Turkey is targeted to reach 100 billion USD, the number of Turkish companies that want to expand into the USA market is also increasing. The founder of Barlas Consulting, Okan Barlas emphasized that the number of companies providing consultancy services has increased with the increase of competition in e-export and that it is necessary to be selective. “There are many companies claiming to provide consultancy services over the internet, but some of them can provide misleading or inaccurate information.” according to Okan Barlas. He continued as:
“Brands that start receiving consultancy services can encounter surprise costs. We offer companies a full range of 360-degree services. When opening an account in online marketplaces, especially in Amazon, having a company in the USA makes your job easier. As in every field that requires expertise, it is necessary to work with companies that provide vertical services. We work with 2 different business partners in this field. We decide together the type of company that we need to establish in line with the needs of the companies we provide consultancy and collect the necessary documents for the establishment. After the company is established, we mediate the issuance of documents such as tax numbers and opening bank accounts. We advance all processes through an e-documentation firm approved by the government. Our clients can check all the information of their companies from the relevant state websites after their companies are established. We have mediated the opening of more than 120 companies in the last 6 months and this number is increasing in direct proportion to the increase in exports. It is important for our consulting companies, which aim to do long-term business in this market, to establish a company and to take the first step correctly ensures the healthy progress of the whole process.”
