Supply Chain Advisory
For foreign companies and investors, a reliable supply base is often part of a wider project in Türkiye — a new facility, a market entry or a manufacturing partnership. Burç Consulting supports that part of the project: researching and evaluating suppliers and partners, making qualified introductions and supporting the commercial negotiation. We work as advisors alongside the client, not as a buying agent placing orders on their behalf.
What it involves
- Supplier and partner research in Türkiye, matched to the project's requirements
- Assessment of capability, capacity and commercial fit
- Comparison of Türkiye with other supply locations where relevant
- Qualified introductions and first meetings
- Support with commercial terms and negotiation
- Linking supply decisions to investment, manufacturing or market-entry plans
Who it is for
- Foreign companies building or diversifying their supply base in Türkiye
- Investors whose project depends on local suppliers or production partners
- Companies evaluating Türkiye as an alternative or additional supply location
Typical situations
- A foreign company setting up in Türkiye needs reliable local suppliers from the start
- An investor wants to understand the local supply base before committing to a facility
- A company wants to reduce dependence on a single country and is evaluating Türkiye
How Burç Consulting helps
We give clients a grounded picture of who can genuinely supply what they need and introduce them to the right counterparts. Orders and the commercial relationship stay directly between the client and the supplier; our role is advisory.
Some specialized legal, tax, accounting or engineering work required within this process is delivered through appropriate professional partners where needed. Burç Consulting does not represent itself as a licensed provider of those regulated services.
What You Get
- A researched shortlist of suppliers or partners with an assessment of fit
- Qualified introductions with a structured briefing for both sides
- Negotiation support through to an agreed basis for working together
Typical Timeline
Research and a first shortlist typically take 3–6 weeks; introductions and negotiation then follow the pace of both sides.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you act as a buying or sourcing agent?
No. Burç Consulting is an advisory firm supporting foreign companies and investors. We research and evaluate suppliers and partners and support introductions and negotiation; orders and the commercial relationship stay directly between the client and the supplier.
Is sourcing from Türkiye more expensive than Asia?
It depends heavily on the product category and volume. Türkiye is often more competitive on lead time and shipping to Europe and the Gulf, while unit pricing can be higher or lower than Asia depending on the specific factory and category.
Can this be part of a wider investment or market-entry project?
Yes, and it often is. Supplier and partner research frequently sits alongside company formation, a new facility or a market entry, and we coordinate it as part of the same engagement.
