Corporate Structuring and Setting Up in Morocco
Structuring your investment project in Morocco, from first thoughts to registration.
Fassi Fehri Attorneys assists entrepreneurs and investors, based in Morocco or abroad, in the legal structuring of their investment project: setting up one or more companies, forming a holding company, choosing the structure and completing the formalities through to registration.
You are based in Morocco
We advise you on choosing the structure best suited to your business and your objectives, whether an operating company, a multi-entity organisation or a holding company. We then handle the incorporation of the company and all formalities through to its registration with the trade register and the issue of its identifiers.
You are based outside Morocco
We give you a clear reading of the Moroccan legal and economic environment and advise you on structuring your set-up and choosing the most suitable legal form. We handle the incorporation of the company and the formalities required for its registration, taking into account, where applicable, the rules governing foreign investment and exchange control.

What is at stake
The choices made at incorporation shape the life of the company for years to come.
- A legal form unsuited to the project or its development
- Incomplete articles, or articles copied from a foreign model, leading to deadlock between shareholders
- Exposure of personal assets, as shareholders' liability is, depending on the form chosen, limited to their contributions or unlimited
- Commitments entered into before registration, remaining the founders' responsibility unless assumed by the company
- A foreign investment not funded in foreign currency as required, losing the transfer guarantee
- Undocumented flows with the foreign shareholder, exposed in the event of a tax audit
