Frequently Asked Questions
Who can raise through equity crowdfunding in Türkiye?
Turkish joint-stock companies with technology or production-oriented activities, raising through CMB-licensed crowdfunding platforms under the III-35/A.2 communiqué. There are annual caps on the amount a company can raise, and the funds must be used per the disclosed project plan under escrow discipline.
Are there limits on how much individuals can invest?
Yes — non-qualified investors face annual caps per project and in total, designed to limit retail exposure; qualified investors invest without those caps. Platforms enforce the limits through their onboarding and investment screens.
What happens after a successful campaign?
Escrowed funds are released against the milestones in the offering documents, shares are issued to investors through the central registry, and the company takes on ongoing disclosure obligations toward the platform and investors. Failed campaigns unwind with refunds.
