Re: BUSINESS ADVICE
Do you have any experience doing a business in your home country or were you doing a job?
Re: BUSINESS ADVICE
Hello Taj,
Obviously first thing first, you need to find out what Visa you will all be on and how to successfully get those visa's.
Next step would be either visiting or arriving in Turkey and doing some market research . Just visit a few businesses and speak to relevant people to get a gist of the ground realities.
Find out more about what the lifestyle of the people there is , what you can offer them that is different to your competitors , what area you wish to set up your business in , check all the legal aspects .
Unless you have got close family and friends that can help you go through the initial phase , it will take you many months to get a start up done .

DEAR Chicken Biryani ,
DEAR ,I AM REALLY THANKFUL TO YOU FOR THE REPLY AND AM REPLYING YOU IN ANNOTATED MANNER AND IN BLUE COLOR AS UNDER :
Obviously first thing first, you need to find out what Visa you will all be on and how to successfully get those visa’s.RIGHT NOW OUR VISA IS VISITORS VISA VALID FOR 3 MONTHS AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE ITS EXTENDABLE UP TO 6 MONTHS. WHERE DURING OUR STAY WE PLAN TO BUY OUR OWN FLAT WHICH ACCORDING TO MY KNOWLEDGE AND TURKEY’s RULES WILL ENABLE US TO STAY FOR ONE YEAR ALTHOUGH WE WILL EXIT FROM TURKEY AND WILL RE-ENTER TURKEY.
Next step would be either visiting or arriving in Turkey and doing some market research . Just visit a few businesses and speak to relevant people to get a gist of the ground realities.YES YOU ARE VERY MUCH RIGHT THAT IN THE 1ST 3 MONTHS WE WILL CARRY SOME MARKET SURVEY OF THE FIELDS VIZ,HOUSE CONSTRUCTION,GARMENTS/JEWELRY AND AFGHANI FOOD.**

Find out more about what the lifestyle of the people there is , what you can offer them that is different to your competitors , what area you wish to set up your business in , check all the legal aspects . **AS STATED ABOVE WE WILL DO SURVEY TO ADDRESS WHAT YOU PINPOINTED.BY THE WAY OUR PLAN IS NOT TO SPEND MONEY ON OPENING A SHOP BUT TO TAKE ORDERS AND SUPPLY JEWELRY .GARMENTS ITEMS WHAT THE SHOPKEEPERS PLACE ORDER FOR.
IN AFGHANI FOOD ALTHOUGH IT DEPENDS ON THE TASTE AND CUSTOMS OVER THERE BUT OUR PLAN IS TO DISTRIBUTE ADDS/PAMPHLETS FOR HOME MADE AND HOME DELIVERY AFGHANI FOOD IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREA WHERE WE WILL LIVE. **
Unless you have got close family and friends that can help you go through the initial phase , it will take you many months to get a start up done .**ALTHOUGH WE DONT HAVE RELATIVE BUT WE HAVE FRIEND WHO ARE IN REAL STATE BUSINESS SINCE LONG.

Re: BUSINESS ADVICE

Re: BUSINESS ADVICE
HOW ARE YOU?
DO YOU AGREE WHAT WE HAVE IN MIND AS STATED ABOVE? ARE WE ON RIGHT TRACK?
Re: BUSINESS ADVICE
yes I think you are doing the right thing. Its key to first know the place really well , where you plan to start a business. While you do your research , your online business will also help you set your feet into the market. So yes I think you are doing the right thing there. Try working out a business plan , a written one. So you know to the Tee , everything about where the finance will come from, what the exact investment will be , what the cashflow will be , how much you will sell monthly or quarterly and your stocking and restocking strategies.
Believe me, it changes things in a positive manner when you detail all this in a written plan and stick with it
