BUSINESS

Most businesses operating in Beşiktaş, require a business license. For businesses that hire subcontractors, the subcontractors must have their own business license. Before you begin operation of your business, you will be required to obtain a development permit and a business license.

Your proposed business will be reviewed by a development officer to determine whether or not your proposed operations are permitted.
