    Company Formation in Morocco: SARL, 100% Ownership & the CRI

    Arabic-language reference guide to company formation in Morocco (SARL under Law 5-96, SA under Law 17-95) via the CRI one-stop-shop. General legal information, not legal advice — verify with Moroccan counsel; fees are indicative.

    Morocco generally allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, with free repatriation of profits if the contribution was made in foreign currency through the banking system and registered with the Office des Changes. The SARL (most common form) has no minimum capital — freely set in the bylaws; the SA requires 300,000 MAD (3,000,000 if public). Registration runs through the CRI (Regional Investment Centre) one-stop-shop, with the trade name (certificat négatif) from OMPIC.

    Yes in most sectors, with restrictions on agricultural land and some strategic activities, and free profit repatriation via the Office des Changes regime.

    What is the minimum capital for a SARL in Morocco?

    There is no minimum — it is freely set in the bylaws (around 10,000 MAD in practice), with a capital-deposit waiver where capital does not exceed 100,000 MAD. An SA requires 300,000 MAD.

    Where do I register a company in Morocco?
