For clients whose agreed end-to-end establishment project is delivered by AOO Consulting, we offer a further 6 months of complimentary follow-up assistance after operational handover.
Examples include helping source replacement candidates if a recruited employee leaves, identifying alternative office options if requirements change, and providing practical guidance on setup-related supplier or administrative issues.
Support covers reasonable advisory and coordination assistance within an agreed scope; it does not include third-party charges, new implementation projects, ongoing day-to-day management or statutory professional services. Terms and service boundaries are confirmed in the engagement agreement.
Regulated incorporation, accounting, tax, legal and TİO authorization activities are performed or decided by the relevant licensed professionals and competent authorities. AOO Consulting coordinates the process and does not guarantee approvals or eliminate any legally required in-person steps.
