• Operating Model, EU Office & Client Base

  Cloud-Native, Online Business. The company operates as an online, cloud-native language services business. All project management and linguistic production run on integrated, industry-standard cloud platforms (XTRF Translation Management System and Phrase TMS), layered with AI-driven tools for machine-translation pre-processing, automated linguist matching, and quality review. The full pipeline — from client intake to delivery — is handled digitally, allowing the business to be managed and monitored remotely from any location.

  Distributed Global Talent Network.Rather than carrying a large fixed payroll, the business scales through a vetted network of 2,500+ registered freelance linguists (1,255 active in the last twelve months) across 100+ language pairs, delivering to clients in 60+ countries. Capacity flexes with demand at near-zero marginal fixed cost — a structurally asset-light model.

  Dual-Jurisdiction Structure with a German (EU) Office. The transaction includes two operating entities: a Turkish company and a wholly-owned German subsidiary based in Bonn, Germany. The EU office gives an acquirer a ready-made European operating and invoicing presence — serving DACH-region enterprise clients directly — alongside a cost-efficient Turkish production base. This is a strategic advantage for a buyer seeking EU reach without standing up a new entity.

  Blue-Chip Enterprise Client Base.The business serves a diversified base of 274 active clients across 8 industry verticals, with no single client exceeding ~8.5% of 2025 revenue. Current anchor relationships include a global bank (continuous since 2011), a global sporting-goods retailer (continuous since 2015), a major Turkish e-commerce leader, and multinational accounts across finance, industrial, automotive, and government/cultural sectors — including names such as Michelin, Kyocera, and a leading UK-listed industrial-materials group, plus Türkiye's official public cultural institution.

  Over its 20-year history, the company has also delivered project work for a broad roster of global enterprises — including Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, HSBC, Decathlon, Roche, Novartis, Toyota, IKEA, H&M, Inditex, Turkish Airlines, McKinsey, and KPMG — as a direct provider and as a trusted vendor partner to tier-1 global language service providers (RWS, Lionbridge, ULG). Certified to ISO 17100 and ISO 9001 and listed among CSA Research's Top 200 global LSPs.

The Black Sea's Largest RoRo Vessels – Turnkey Opportunity

A rare opportunity to acquire one of the largest and most modern RoRo vessels operating in the Black Sea! Built in December 2022, the vessel combines advanced engineering, operational efficiency, and substantial transport and passenger capacity—making it a highly attractive asset for both established operators and strategic investors.

Designed for dual-purpose operations, this vessel supports both RoRo freight and passenger transportation. The vessel offers approximately 445 lane meters and accommodates up to 32 trucks or trailers, with a 5.5-meter deck height and heavy-duty load capacity suitable for a wide range of commercial cargo. In addition, the vessel provides flexible passenger capacity, accommodating up to 778 passengers during summer operations and 83 passengers in winter configuration, complemented by premium onboard facilities.

Operating at approximately 13 knots, the vessel delivers a practical balance between performance and fuel efficiency, while maintaining compliance with modern emissions standards. The vessel is equipped with state-of-the-art navigation systems, SOLAS-compliant safety features, modern bridge and control systems, and a full suite of emergency and life-saving equipment. Additional onboard amenities include crew accommodations, galley and dining areas, and well-appointed passenger spaces.

Currently active and in service in the Black Sea region of Turkey, the vessel is in excellent condition and has been well maintained, with a recent survey completed in 2024. This is a turnkey opportunity with immediate operational capability and potential for revenue generation, route expansion, or strategic deployment.

With today's material and labor costs, manufacturing this vessel would cost approximately $26 million (€22,000,000).

Additional information, including technical specifications and inspection arrangements, will be provided to qualified parties upon execution of a confidentiality agreement.

High-capacity industrial facility specializing in the manufacturing of premium latex and nitrile protective products. This turnkey operation features a state-of-the-art production line commissioned in late 2024, supported by a fully equipped specialized laboratory and advanced auxiliary systems, including thermal oil heat exchangers, reverse osmosis water treatment, and industrial chillers.
