Frequently Asked Questions
Which legal form is most used in Morocco?
The SARL accounts for around 90% of trade register registrations. Free capital since 2011 (Law 24-10), liability limited to contributions, 1 to 50 partners: it is the standard for Moroccan SMEs.
How much does it cost to create a SARL in 2026?
Plan 1,200 to 2,500 MAD for a self-service creation via the CRI or directentreprise.ma: negative certificate (210 MAD), DGI registration (1,000 MAD flat), RC clerk (350 MAD), legal gazette (150 to 400 MAD), Official Bulletin (462 MAD). With an accountant: 3,000 to 8,000 MAD in fees on top.
Must the share capital be deposited at the bank?
The 8-day bank blocking is mandatory only if capital exceeds 100,000 MAD (Law 24-10). Below that, release happens directly without blocking. Many banks still ask for blocking out of habit: push back with the legal text.
Auto-entrepreneur or SARL AU for a freelancer?
Auto-entrepreneur if turnover < 200,000 MAD for services or < 500,000 MAD for commerce, with no employees: 1% (services) or 0.5% (commerce) plus 1% CNSS. SARL AU as soon as you exceed those ceilings, want to hire, want to limit liability, or want to recover VAT.
What are the company creation deadlines in Morocco in 2026?
The CRI/directentreprise.ma official promise is 24 to 48 hours for a complete file. In practice, plan 5 to 15 working days: negative certificate (24-48 h), statutes filing at the court (24-72 h), legal publication, CNSS affiliation within 30 days of the first hire.
