Located at the crossroads of Asia and Europe, Translink Anafina Capital Partners in Turkey has global market access at the nexus of Europe, Asia and Africa. Our unique positioning makes us an efficient and cost-effective hub to most major markets this side of the Atlantic.
Turkey offers easy access to 1.3 billion people and a combined market worth of $26 trillion in GDP with Europe, the MENA region, and Central Asia all within a 4-hour flight radius.
Over the years our partners have led over 100 M&A Projects including many blue-chip company IPO’s and privatisation projects. We are particularly well versed in the unique intricacies of doing business in Turkey and the surrounding regions.
Our intimate knowledge of Turkey’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) law, which is based on the principle of equal treatment and allows international investors to have the same rights and liabilities as local investors, has equipped us with tools to be able to secure the best possible outcomes for our clients when it comes to cross-border M&A transactions. To aid in this process most transaction and related documents are in English.
We understand that the MENA region has different advisory-client dynamics from other parts of the world which can make it inefficient to only work with one country office. To counteract this we have developed a bespoke network with multiple local partners across the region that we have utilised successfully to secure the best possible outcomes.
We are comfortable operating within a range of sectors with our primary expertise being in FMCG, Food & Beverage, Automotive, Industrials, Chemical, Pharmaceuticals & Life Sciences, Agriculture, Business Services and Tourism.
