About Magnus
One route, known from both ends.
Magnus Consultancy works the route between Türkiye and Britain, in both directions. Turkish companies that want a London address which opens doors, and British companies that want a foothold in one of the most energetic economies on Europe's edge. We handle the whole thing, from feasibility to a company that is trading and in good standing.
We work from London with specialists we know by name in both countries: lawyers, accountants and licensed advisers who do this every day in their own jurisdiction. You get one point of contact, one plan and one price, in whichever language you prefer.
One contact, both countries
You never chase a lawyer in İstanbul or an accountant in London. We hold the plan, the deadlines and the phone.
Turkish and English, natively
Every document, call and filing in both languages, so nothing gets lost and nothing gets softened in translation.
One price, agreed first
A written scope and a fixed price before we start. No hourly meter and no surprises on the invoice.
What we do
Everything between the idea and the first invoice.
Six services, shaped around each client. Where the law reserves a task for a licensed professional, we bring one in and stay in the room.
Market entry assessment
Before you commit, we test the market: demand, competition, the rules and the real cost of getting in. You get a costed roadmap and a straight answer, including not yet, when that is the honest one.
UK company formation
Incorporation at Companies House done properly: share structure, registered office, director verification, VAT and PAYE where they apply, and the calendar of filings that keeps the company clean.
Türkiye market entry
Entity formation, tax registration, free zone and incentive options, and a trusted local accountant from day one, arranged with partners we have worked with before.
Licensing and compliance
Sector licences, permits and the obligations that follow them, mapped to a calendar so nothing slips. Immigration is regulated work: where a visa is involved we bring in an adviser authorised by the Immigration Advice Authority and build the timeline around them.
Property and asset acquisition
Due diligence and deal coordination for real estate, plant and business assets on either side. Share transactions are regulated in Britain, so an adviser authorised by the FCA leads and we coordinate around them.
Partners, distributors and suppliers
Introductions that lead somewhere: the right distributor, supplier or franchise partner, with the commercial terms drawn up by the right lawyer.

The route
A route that is getting busier.
The numbers below are the British government's. Trade between the two countries is growing, and both sides are negotiating a wider free trade agreement. There has not been a better moment to be set up on both sides.

How we work
From first call to first invoice.
Consultation
Thirty minutes, on us. Tell us what you sell, who buys it and where you want to be. We tell you what it would take, and whether we are the right people for it.
Assessment
The market, the rules and the real cost of entry, written up with a clear recommendation. If the answer is not yet, you have spent a small fee instead of a year.
Formation and setup
Structure, incorporation, registered office, tax, licences and premises, delivered against the dated plan in your scope. Licensed specialists handle the parts the law reserves for them.
Trading and beyond
Introductions first, then the compliance calendar: filings, statements and renewals. Ongoing support is a separate fixed scope, so you keep exactly what you need.
Where we work
Two markets, known properly.
We are not a network with a pin in forty cities. We work two countries in depth and are honest about where our reach ends.
Home base
United Kingdom
Incorporation often within a day, contracts under English law and a business address that carries weight everywhere. For Turkish companies, a British entity opens doors to buyers in Britain, the Commonwealth and beyond.
- Ltd formation, tax registration and compliance
- Registered office and filing calendar
- Director identity verification, handled
Second market
Türkiye
Manufacturing depth, a domestic market of 85 million and a seat between Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. British businesses come for production, sourcing, hospitality and property, and stay for the cost base.
- Entity formation and investment incentive programmes
- Free zone, manufacturing and sourcing options
- Local partners, distributors and institutional contacts
Beyond these two
Elsewhere
Outside Britain and Türkiye we take work only where we have a partner we have used before and can name. If we do not, we tell you on the first call and point you to someone who can help.
FAQ
Questions we are asked most
How long does it take to set up a British company?
Companies House usually registers a private limited company within 24 hours of an online application. The work around it takes longer. Director identity verification, the registered office, VAT and PAYE registration and any sector licence each run on their own timetable, and VAT in particular can take several weeks. You get a dated plan before work starts, showing which dates are ours and which belong to someone else.
Do I need to live in Britain to own or direct a British company?
No. Directors and shareholders can live anywhere. The company needs a British registered office address, and since 18 November 2025 every new director and person with significant control must verify their identity with Companies House before appointment. Existing directors are being brought in during a transition that runs to 18 November 2026.
Do you open bank accounts?
No, and be careful of anyone who promises to. Banks decide who they take on, and applications from people living abroad are refused often enough that no adviser can guarantee an account. What we do is prepare the application properly, introduce you where we have a contact, and build the company so it does not fail a check for a reason we could have fixed.
Do you give immigration or visa advice?
No. In Britain, immigration advice may only be given by advisers regulated by the Immigration Advice Authority or by qualified lawyers, and giving it without that authorisation is a criminal offence. Where a visa is part of your plan, we introduce a regulated adviser and fit the company timeline around their application.
What does it cost?
The first consultation is free. The market entry assessment is a fixed fee, agreed before it starts. Formation and setup is quoted as one fixed price once the assessment shows what the work really is, and ongoing support is a separate monthly or annual scope. We do not bill by the hour, so the number you agree is the number you pay.
Do you only work between Britain and Türkiye?
That is the route we know properly, and it is where we are useful. We take work elsewhere only where we have a named partner we have already worked with. If a market falls outside that, we say so early rather than learning it at your expense.
