Delaware LLC Incorporation for Turkish Digital Agencies
Turkish digital agencies can incorporate a Delaware LLC via Stripe Atlas to access global payment gateways and US-based financial infrastructure. This structure separates your agency's legal liability from personal assets while maintaining operational control from Turkey.
You remain subject to Turkish corporate tax (Kurumlar Vergisi) under KVK Article 3 on your worldwide income. Proper documentation of US-source versus foreign-source income is required for tax compliance.
