Create your SARL, SAS or subsidiary in Morocco 100% online
Since the nationwide rollout of DirectEntreprise, you can create your SARL, SAS or subsidiary in Morocco 100% online — without paper counters. The portal, run with OMPIC, centralises exchanges with the commercial court (trade register), the tax authority, CNSS and the Official Printing Office. In practice, filing is not open as a public self-service: an authorised professional (certified accountant, notary or lawyer) submits the dossier for you. That is exactly LetsPro's role for MRE, non-residents and foreign groups.
The SARL (or SARL AU) remains the most frequent choice for an SME or solo project: liability limited to contributions, simple governance, corporate tax. The SAS fits better when several associates anticipate capital entries or tailor-made clauses. The subsidiary or branch serves a foreign company that wants a local RC, ICE and presence enforceable against Moroccan third parties. In all three cases the thread is the same: negative certificate, articles, registered office (often via domiciliation), digital filing, then RC, ICE and IF numbers.
For a Moroccan abroad or an investor outside the Kingdom, the 100% online path relies on power of attorney: scanned documents, legalised signatures at the consulate (and apostille when the country is party to the Hague Convention), then filing by your certified accountant. Official OMPIC company creation guides recall the order of steps — from trade name to trade-register inscription. LetsPro aligns this framework with a realistic calendar (target dossier in five business days when documents are complete) and can continue with accounting, payroll and group reporting once the company exists.
Points that stay offline: opening a professional bank account may still require presence or a specific bank power of attorney, and some regulated activities need prior authorisations. Constitution itself — SARL, SAS or subsidiary — can be run end-to-end remotely. You obtain a real Moroccan company online, ready to invoice, hire and contract, with one Tangier contact for the tax and social follow-up.

Guide 2026–2027
How to create your company online in Morocco in 2026-2027?
Digitisation (OMPIC, DirectEntreprise, registry) shortened the path — but every step remains mandatory. Here is the full journey, from legal form to RC, ICE and IF identifiers, as LetsPro runs it for residents, MRE and foreign investors.
Start my online formation
Choose the legal form
SARL, SARL AU, SAS, subsidiary or auto-entrepreneur
The starting point remains the status: it sets associate liability, taxation (often corporate tax) and governance. SARL AU suits solo founders; SARL for partners; SAS when articles must stay flexible; subsidiary or branch for a foreign group. Auto-entrepreneur (RNAE) remains a separate circuit outside the classic trade register.
Obtain the negative certificate
Name reserved at OMPIC
The negative certificate reserves the trade name with OMPIC. Without it, incorporation cannot proceed. Prepare several names: the first available is kept for the certificate’s validity period.
Draft articles and set capital
Signed articles, share capital set
Articles define purpose, registered office, management, share split and decision rules. For SARL or SARL AU, capital is freely set (no legal minimum); a amount coherent with the activity reassures banks and partners.
Prove the registered office (domiciliation)
Compliant registered-office address in Morocco
Every company needs an address in Morocco. Domiciliation provides an enforceable registered office without a commercial lease — practical to start, and essential for many MRE and foreign investors creating remotely.
Register on the trade register
RC number, ICE and tax ID (IF)
Filing via DirectEntreprise (by an authorised professional) leads to registration: trade-register number, tax ID (IF) and ICE. The company becomes a legal person: it can invoice, open a business account and hire.
Publish legal notices
Authorised journal + Official Bulletin
Formation closes with legal publicity (authorised journal and Official Bulletin). Publication makes the company enforceable against third parties and the administration.
| Step | Document / result |
|---|---|
| 1. Choose the legal form | SARL, SARL AU, SAS, subsidiary or auto-entrepreneur |
| 2. Obtain the negative certificate | Name reserved at OMPIC |
| 3. Draft articles and set capital | Signed articles, share capital set |
| 4. Prove the registered office (domiciliation) | Compliant registered-office address in Morocco |
| 5. Register on the trade register | RC number, ICE and tax ID (IF) |
| 6. Publish legal notices | Authorised journal + Official Bulletin |
Documents to prepare
ID (CIN or passport), registered-office proof (lease or domiciliation contract), activity, capital and management details, plus — for non-residents — legalised power of attorney and apostille if needed. A valid negative certificate and coherent articles clearly speed up filing.
Timeline and budget in 2026-2027
With a complete dossier, LetsPro targets roughly five business days before registry / OMPIC follow-up. The budget covers negative certificate, articles, filing, trade-register inscription, legal notices and optional domiciliation — then bookkeeping, VAT/IS and CNSS if you hire. Ask for a global quote to avoid fragmented fees.
Create from abroad (MRE & investors)
You do not need to be in Morocco to build the dossier: scanned documents, power of attorney and DirectEntreprise filing are enough to progress. However, after documents are finalised, physical presence remains mandatory for signature and legalization. LetsPro frames the calendar so that visit is unique and prepared.
Frequent mistakes to avoid
- Choosing SARL AU / SARL / SAS too quickly without aligning tax and governance.
- Neglecting the negative certificate and losing the desired name.
- Underestimating the total budget (formation + notices + domiciliation + accounting follow-up).
- Forgetting post-creation duties: compliant invoicing, filings, CNSS if employees.
After registration
Once RC, ICE and IF are obtained, continue with the professional bank account, CGNC bookkeeping and, if needed, the Tangier accounting firm. One contact avoids the break between “company created” and “company managed”.
FAQ

However, after the full dossier is prepared, physical presence of the manager and associates remains mandatory for legalization and signature. LetsPro organises that visit so it is unique, framed and ready to sign.
