Market entry and company setup in Morocco

Setting up in Morocco means dealing with a specific legal, tax and administrative framework, often in French and with local practices that are hard to read from abroad. AHM Insights acts as your single local partner, from the first feasibility questions to the day-to-day running of your Moroccan entity.

What we offer:

• Before you invest: market entry and "doing business" reports, feasibility studies and business plans, choice of legal form, and tax structuring, including investment incentives, free zones and transfer pricing.

• Company setup: incorporation formalities, articles of association, registration with tax, social security and customs authorities, bank account opening and financing files.

• Once you operate: outsourced bookkeeping and payroll, monthly reporting to your head office (IFRS or group formats, in English or French), tax and social filings, corporate secretarial services and VAT refunds.

• Securing your operations: statutory audit, tax audit assistance, contract review, internal control and customs certification.

Why AHM Insights:

• Two partners, both chartered accountants, members of the Moroccan Institute of Chartered Accountants: one with 12 years in a Top 10 global audit firm, the other with 14 years as Regional CFO of a London-listed multinational after 5 years in a Big Four firm.

• Hands-on experience setting up and running subsidiaries in Morocco and West Africa, including Côte d'Ivoire.

• Offices in Fès and Casablanca, a team of more than 10 permanent staff, and a strict code of ethics: confidentiality, transparency and primacy of client interests.

Who we work with: European companies opening a subsidiary, branch or production site in Morocco, investors considering an acquisition or joint venture, and groups using Morocco as a hub for Africa.
