A Real Government program

Not a workaround.
A published Turkish law.

The reimbursement is paid out quarterlyby the Republic of Turkey's Ministry of Trade, administered through their official application portal, certified by licensed sworn-CPAs. The same way an American SBIR grant works. A government paying companies to grow a strategic export sector.

Republic of Turkey
Grand National Assembly · Ankara Law 10962 published in the Official Gazette, February 2026, effective retroactive to January 1st 2026.
"
Reimburses 50–70% of qualifying marketing, platform, and infrastructure spend for software-export companies (SaaS, mobile apps, games) operating through a Turkish entity. 100% foreign ownership permitted. No Turkish partner, citizenship, or local headcount required.
Law No. 10962·Effective January 2026·Administered by Ministry of Trade·Certified by Licensed sworn-CPA (YMM)
Same as an SBIR grant
A government paying to grow a strategic export sector. Not a loophole. Not an interpretation.
Retrospective payments
You spend first. The Ministry reimburses afterwards. No capital at risk beyond your existing ad budget.
60 target countries
USA, UK, Germany, France, Japan, India + 55 others. If your customers are there, you get the 70% rate.
What Gets Reimbursed

Money you're already spending. Half to 70% of it comes back.

The program covers far more than ad spend. App store fees, cloud costs, software subscriptions, agency invoices. If a SaaS or software company is spending on it to grow internationally, the Ministry of Trade is reimbursing a slice.

Same Game, Different Economics

Two founders. Same campaigns. Same ad budget. Different P&L.

Same product. Same channels. Same burn. The only difference: one founder routes through the Turkish grant structure. Here's what that does to the numbers.

cheaper CAC

You can buy traffic your competitors can't even profitably touch.

A 73% CAC drop means you can bid 3x higher per install before unit economics break. That's not just efficiency, it's a structural moat.

The Process

There is a catch.
It's not what you think.

The grant itself isn't the catch that's just published law. The catch is execution.

Every ad invoice has to flow through a Turkish entity. IP needs proper assignment. Transfer pricing gets filed annually. Every quarterly claim has to carry the signature of a licensed Turkish sworn-CPA, or the whole grant gets clawed back.

That's the work. Your team doesn't touch any of it, we do, with a 20-year sworn-CPA partner in Istanbul. You sign one power of attorney, fly to Istanbul once for the bank meeting, and keep running your business exactly as you do today.

What we do
Open the entity. Move the routing. File monthly. Claim quarterly. Send the cash back.
What you do
Sign one power of attorney. Attend one bank meeting in Istanbul. Keep running your business.

Phase Five · The Big Unlock
When Tier 1 caps start binding, you upgrade to Tier 2.
Once your ad spend pushes past Tier 1 ceilings (typically Year 2 or 3 for growth-stage SaaS and gaming studios), the Ministry's Tier 2 program unlocks. Same structure. Same routing. ~10x the reimbursement ceiling.
Spending $500K+/mo on UA? Tier 2 likely applies starting Year 2.

Who's Behind This

Three parties make this work.

The grant program is government infrastructure. Collecting it reliably requires three distinct specialists — each carrying a function the others can't.

Government body
Ministry of Trade

Publishes and administers Law No. 10962. Operates the official claims portal. Reviews every certified filing and issues reimbursement payments each quarter.

Republic of Turkey
Licensed accountant
Sworn-CPA Partner

Istanbul-based firm with 20+ years in cross-border corporate work. Signs and certifies every claim under Law 3568. Holds advisory memberships across German, Italian, and Swedish chambers, network spanning 50+ countries.

Project layer
Launch Entities

We open the Turkish entity, wire every step to the CPA firm, run the monthly operating cycle, and translate the whole thing into plain English for your CFO and legal counsel.

Your point of contact
The sworn-CPA carries all regulated work: filings, certifications, audit defence, under the direct authority of Law 3568. Launch Entities handles project management and client communication only.
Why This Works

Licensed local execution. Two decades of practice.

The program is real and current. Law No. 10962 was published by the Republic of Turkey in February 2026, effective retroactive to January 1st, consolidating Turkey's service-export grants under one framework. A follow-up law, 11257, raised the service-export tax deduction from 80% to 100%, adding a corporate-tax saving on top of the cash reimbursement.

Both are administered by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Trade, with claims filed through the Ministry's official application portal. Every claim must carry the certification of a Turkish sworn-CPA operating under Law 3568.

We deliver this in partnership with a licensed Istanbul sworn-CPA firm based in the central business district. The partner firm has spent two decades on cross-border corporate work for foreign-parented companies, holds international advisory memberships across the German, Italian, and Swedish chambers of commerce in Turkey, and is part of a global advisory network operating in 50+ countries.

They carry the regulated work. The sworn-CPA signature, the tax filings, the audit defence. We carry the project management.

Honest Answers

The questions you'll have before you call your lawyer.

Founders ask these in roughly this order. Click any card to expand.

01Do I have to move to Turkey?
No. The structure is a 100% foreign-owned Turkish subsidiary. Your parent company owns it outright from wherever you're based. One in-person visit is required for bank onboarding in Istanbul. That's the only physical presence Tier 1 requires.
02Do I have to hire Turkish employees?
Not for the Tier 1 program. Zero local headcount is required. The Tier 2 program (the $11M limit) does require a small Istanbul presence, but that's only relevant once Tier 1 limits start binding, typically a Year 2 or 3 upgrade decision.
03Is this actually legal? It sounds aggressive.
It's a published law of the Republic of Turkey, signed by the President, administered by the Ministry of Trade. The grant operates the same way an American SBIR grant operates. A government paying companies to grow a strategic export sector. The aggressive thing is ignoring it.
04How fast does this actually work?
Setup runs a few weeks. After your first filing, the first reimbursement lands in your Turkish bank account within several months, then quarterly. The program is retrospective, you spend then claim, so cash flow stays normal.
05I'm not Turkish. Can my company really own this?
Yes. Turkish law explicitly permits 100% foreign ownership of Turkish subsidiaries. No Turkish partner is required, no citizenship requirement, no local director. Your US, UK, EU, APAC, or any other parent company holds the entity outright.
06What about my home-country tax position?
This is where your local tax counsel should be looped in. The Turkish subsidiary pays Turkish minimum tax (around 10% effective), then your parent receives dividends with withholding tax that varies by treaty. Generally 5% for the UK, 10% for Germany and most EU, 15% for the US. The calculator runs your specific numbers.
07What can go wrong?
Sloppy execution. Every expense must be e-invoiced to the Turkish entity. App revenue must flow through Turkish accounts. Transfer pricing must be filed annually. The entity can't be liquidated within five years of receiving grants. Anything short of clean execution gets clawed back.
08Can my CFO and lawyer review this?
Yes, and they should. After the calculator, request a legal brief built for in-house counsel. Law citations, official cap tables, transfer-pricing requirements, tax treatment by parent jurisdiction. Readable in 20 minutes.
