Tax & legal optimisation

Make the right choices from day one.

Creating a company in Morocco also means smart trade-offs from incorporation. LetsPro advises on the five levers that durably affect profitability and legal security.

  • Optimal legal form

    SARL, sole-shareholder SARL, SAS or SA — trade-off on capital, shareholders and trajectory (self-funding, fundraising, IPO).

  • Registered office address

    City-centre domiciliation, registered commercial lease or free-zone setup — each option has a direct tax impact.

  • Manager remuneration

    Salary / dividends / self-employed trade-off, IR vs IS optimisation and CNSS coverage — calibrated to your wealth profile.

  • VAT regime

    Debit or cash basis, sector exemptions, monthly or quarterly filings, export refunds.

  • Adapted tax structure

    Holding, branch, joint venture, intra-group transfer pricing and double-tax treaties — bespoke setup.

  • Free scoping meeting

    The scoping meeting is free: we price fiscal and social implications of each option before any filing.

Official procedure

Create your company in Tangier in 10 steps.

The official Moroccan procedure has ten successive steps — from the OMPIC negative certificate to Official Bulletin publications. Each is led by a dedicated LetsPro contact, with weekly progress updates across OMPIC, CRI Tangier, DGI, the commercial court and CNSS.

Start my dossierSpeak to an advisor

  1. Negative certificate — OMPIC

    Checking trade name availability and obtaining the negative certificate from OMPIC. Three name proposals are filed; the retained certificate is valid 90 days and is the mandatory prerequisite for any registration in Morocco.

  2. Drafting articles

    Drafting articles suited to the chosen form (SARL, sole-shareholder SARL, SAS, SA): business purpose, registered office, capital, shares or stock, management or board, approval clauses, company duration and fiscal year. Signature legalisation at the municipality.

  3. Subscription forms

    Preparation of subscription forms signed by each shareholder — mandatory for SA and SAS, recommended for SARL. They formalise each person's cash or in-kind commitment.

  4. Capital blocked at bank

    Deposit and blocking of share capital in an account opened in the company-in-formation's name at a Moroccan bank. The bank issues a blocking attestation required for subsequent formalities. We refer you to partner banks accustomed to LetsPro files.

  5. Subscription & payment declarations

    Preparation of subscription and payment declarations signed by the founder(s), certifying that capital has been fully subscribed and released in accordance with the articles. Key document in the file submitted to the CRI.

  6. Filing & registration — CRI Tangier

    Filing the complete file (articles, negative certificate, declarations, blocking attestation, ID documents) at the CRI Tangier one-stop shop, and registration of deeds with the DGI — registration duties on capital.

  7. Business tax & tax ID (IF)

    Registration for business tax (former patente) and allocation of tax ID (IF) by the DGI. Your company now has its tax number and can issue compliant invoices.

  8. Trade register registration

    Registration with the RC held by the Tangier commercial court. Allocation of RC number and ICE — your company acquires legal personality and enforceability against third parties.

  9. CNSS affiliation

    Company affiliation and employee registration with CNSS via the DAMANCOM e-service. Essential before any first hire and for payment of social contributions and AMO.

  10. Official publications

    Publication of the articles extract in the Official Bulletin and in an authorised legal announcements journal (JAL) in Tangier. This legal publicity closes the procedure and makes the formation enforceable against the administration and third parties.

    11. Typical dossier in 5 business days · registry delays vary by workload
