About Us

Business setup, workspace and local coordination for international founders in Turkey.

Workon (Workon Ofis ve İş Yönetim Hizmetleri A.Ş.) is an Istanbul-based business setup and workspace company helping foreign founders, international entrepreneurs and growing teams establish and operate in Turkey. Across its Ataşehir and Ümraniye locations, Workon coordinates company setup, registered business address and flexible workspace, bank-account application readiness, corporate infrastructure and selected post-registration operational steps in one practical local workflow.

• International-founder focus: workflows designed for foreign shareholders, overseas parent companies and cross-border teams entering Turkey.
• Istanbul presence: workspace and business-service locations in Ataşehir and Ümraniye.
• One operating model: company setup, workspace and post-registration coordination are planned together.
• Clear professional boundaries: regulated legal, tax, customs and similar work is handled by the appropriately licensed professionals where required.

Our role is simple: reduce fragmentation. Instead of asking a founder to manage disconnected providers, offices and administrative handoffs alone, Workon acts as a central coordination point and helps each part of the setup move in the right sequence.

What Workon Does

Workon combines business setup and operational coordination with workspace solutions. That combination is important because registering a company is only one stage of building a functioning business in Turkey.

For founders who are ready to establish a Turkish entity, see Company Registration in Turkey. For a professional registered address and flexible workspace, see Virtual Office in Turkey.

Built for International Founders — Grounded in Local Execution

Turkey can be an attractive market, operating base and regional hub, but foreign founders often face a different challenge from local entrepreneurs: the business decision may be clear while the local sequence is not. Corporate documents, address requirements, banking, tax-office procedures, work authorisation, sector rules and operational setup can involve different institutions and different professional roles.

Workon is designed around that coordination problem. Cross-border setups can add foreign-document, shareholder, signatory, banking and authority dependencies that a purely local setup may not face. We translate the founder’s business objective into a practical local action plan, prepare the handoffs and make clear which outcomes remain under a bank, authority or licensed professional’s control.

Company Registration Is Not the Same as Operational Readiness

A company can be legally registered and still not be ready to operate. Depending on the business model, the next steps may include a registered address, tax-office procedures, corporate banking, employee and social-security registration coordination, work authorisation, sector-specific licences, digital corporate tools or suitable physical workspace.

This distinction shapes how Workon works. We do not treat incorporation as the finish line. We help founders identify what must happen before registration, at registration and after registration so that the structure is aligned with the way the business will actually operate.

One Coordinator, Clear Professional Boundaries

Workon coordinates business setup and operational processes, but not every part of running a company is an unregulated commercial service. Legal opinions and legal representation belong to qualified lawyers; regulated statutory financial and tax work belongs to appropriately licensed professionals; customs, trademark and other regulated matters are handled by the relevant licensed professionals where required.

Our role is to connect the practical workflow, keep responsibilities clear and help the founder understand who is responsible for each step. This protects both service quality and compliance while avoiding the common problem of one provider claiming to “do everything.”

Workspace That Can Grow With the Business

Workon is also a workspace operator. Our Istanbul locations include business hubs in Ataşehir and Ümraniye, giving companies access to professional registered-address options, coworking, meeting rooms and serviced/private offices depending on how much physical space they actually need.

This creates a practical upgrade path. A founder may begin with a registered address or virtual office, add meeting-room access as client activity grows, move into coworking when regular physical use begins, and later take a private office for a larger team — without treating each stage as an unrelated procurement exercise.

Where to Find Workon in Istanbul

Workon operates from two business locations on Istanbul’s Asian side:

• Ataşehir Branch: Canan Business Tower, Floor 3, Ataşehir, Istanbul.
• Ümraniye Headquarters: Elite Park Plaza, Floor 5, Ümraniye, Istanbul.

Both locations support registered-address and workspace needs, while the exact service mix depends on the location and package. See Workon Locations in Istanbul or contact Workon for the current setup.

How We Work

• Start with the business model. We first clarify what the company needs to do, not simply which form needs to be filed.
• Separate mandatory from optional. Founders should be able to see which steps are legally or operationally required and which are convenience choices.
• Keep costs and scope visible. Service fees, third-party costs and institution-controlled outcomes should not be blurred together.
• Coordinate the sequence. Address, registration, banking, professional onboarding, permits and workspace decisions often depend on one another.
• Stay available after setup. Companies change. Workon can continue supporting workspace and operational needs as the business develops.

Why Workon

Workon was built around a practical idea: entrepreneurs should spend less time coordinating fragmented administrative tasks and more time building the business itself. Our value is not a promise that bureaucracy disappears. It is a clearer process, a reliable local point of coordination and access to the workspace and business infrastructure needed to operate professionally in Turkey.

If you are evaluating Turkey as a new market, registering a company, setting up a professional business address or building a local team and workspace, contact Workon and tell us what you are trying to achieve. We will help map the practical next steps and identify which parts Workon can coordinate directly and which require a licensed professional or institutional approval.
