What turnkey setup means
Turnkey setup: a complete package that delivers licence, visa, office and bank introduction.

How turnkey setup applies to your company
If you are unsure how turnkey setup applies to your situation, send GoldenKey a message and a case manager will explain it for your specific case. For mainland companies, turnkey setup matters because the economic department, immigration or the FTA uses it in mainland procedures. In our experience, for free zone companies, turnkey setup comes up when the free zone authority references it during licensing or renewal.
