Build Operate Transfer

Building and scaling high-quality remote teams is complex, especially for large digital agencies and enterprise organizations. With our Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model, we offer a turnkey solution for setting up and managing dedicated remote teams in Turkey. We handle the entire process — from recruitment and operational management to compliance — and transfer the team once it's fully established and optimized.

We recruit, select, and onboard the right specialists based on your technical and cultural requirements. The result: a fully operational team that operates according to your working methods.

Operate

We handle the daily management, administration, and performance monitoring. The result: a stable, high-performing team that is scalable and future-proof.

Transfer

After the agreed-upon period or upon achieving the target milestones, we transfer the team, processes, and all legal structures to your organization. The result: full ownership and control of a mature nearshore operation.

Frequently asked questions
In order to answer the most frequently asked questions about TaaS we have created a FAQ sheet. If you can’t find your question in this sheet, or if you need additional information, feel free to contact us at any time.

While the BOT model is designed to transfer ownership of the team after the "operate" phase, you are not obligated to proceed with the transfer. If your strategic direction changes during the engagement, we can pivot to an alternative arrangement—such as continuing under a managed TaaS model where The TaaS Company retains operational responsibility. In such cases, we’ll jointly evaluate the business rationale and adapt the collaboration accordingly, without pressure, penalties, or buyout clauses.

The "build" phase can be financed in two ways: as a fixed fee—where we agree upfront on a one-time cost covering recruitment, setup, and infrastructure—or via a monthly model, where the costs are spread over the ramp-up period. The structure depends on your budget preferences, the complexity of the setup, and the expected speed of deployment. We're flexible and transparent about both options.

The core legal framework is drafted by The TaaS Company based on best practices around IP ownership, data protection, transferability, and operational liability. However, all terms are fully negotiable. During the planning phase, we review and refine the agreement in consultation with your legal counsel. We work from EU-compliant templates, but adapt easily to industry-specific or jurisdictional requirements.

The transfer is based on performance milestones—not a fixed calendar date. If the team or infrastructure isn’t yet fully aligned with your internal standards, we can extend the "operate" phase. Extensions are handled collaboratively, without penalties or disruption to continuity. Our goal is to transfer only when your team is truly ready to assume ownership, and we remain fully responsible until that point.

Yes, partial transfers are absolutely possible. For example, you might choose to take over the development team while continuing to outsource HR, compliance, or IT infrastructure. We can also phase the transfer—starting with core functions and gradually shifting operational ownership as you scale. Our model is modular by design, so we’ll tailor the structure to your strategic goals and capacity.
