A
A person
You hold the shares of the Turkish company directly.
Simple. Common for solo founders and small teams. Your name appears on the public trade registry.
Company & Compliance
Holding Structure
Decide who holds the shares of your Turkish company. A person, another company you own, or Turquo on your behalf.
- Three options
- Decided in the call
- Registered on day one
What it is
Every Turkish company has someone holding its shares. There are three workable ways to set that up, and the right one depends on your tax residency, your investor plans, and how visible you want to be on the public trade registry. We walk you through the options on the discovery call, then implement the chosen structure during incorporation.
Three options
Who holds the company.
Three ways to set it up. We talk through which one fits on the discovery call and register it on day one.
B
A company
Your foreign company holds the shares.
The pattern most studios end up with. Cleaner for raises and exits because investors come in at the parent, not the operating entity.
C
Turquo
We hold the shares on your behalf as a nominee.
For founders who prefer not to appear on the public registry, or who haven't decided on a parent vehicle yet. Reversible later.
How we do it
Three steps. One decision on your side.
Cleanest at incorporation, before the cap-table has anyone to renegotiate with. Doable later as a restructuring.
Structure call
We walk through the three options against your tax residency, investor plans, and timeline. You decide.
Documentation
We draft the shareholding documents to reflect the chosen option: shareholder resolutions, articles of association, and any nominee agreement.
Registration
The structure is registered with the Trade Registry on day one of incorporation. No retrofitting later.
What's included
From the call through registration.
- Structure call against your tax residency and investor plans
- Shareholding documents (resolutions, articles, optional nominee agreement)
- Trade Registry filing on day one of incorporation
- Adjustments later if your structure changes
Key facts
The mechanics behind the decision.
- Decided in one call
- The structure call is short. The three options are easy to explain. The choice depends on your situation, and we help you make it.
- Registered on day one
- Whichever option you pick is set in the articles of association and filed with the Trade Registry at incorporation. The public registry reflects it from the start.
- Changeable later
- Ownership can be transferred or restructured down the line. Cleaner if you start with the right option, but not a one-way door.
- Tax and treaty notes
- Each option has different tax-residency and treaty implications. We walk through the relevant ones on the call, in plain English.
