Our values

Integrity

We manage a relationship, not a transaction. We tell a client what we know, not what they would like to hear.

Confidentiality

A closed process, an anonymous teaser, a signed NDA. Only the people who need to know that a sale is being discussed know it.

Precision

Every figure has a source and every document an owner. We answer the question a buyer will ask before they ask it.

Globalscope Partners

Wherever your buyer is, our network is there.

Orion is the Turkish member of Globalscope Partners, an international network of independent M&A advisors founded in 1987.

When the right buyer for a Turkish company is abroad, we reach it through Globalscope member firms in that market.
