Businesses are divided into two categories based on the nature of their activities: civil businesses and commercial businesses. Commercial businesses, in turn, are classified according to their personal or financial nature into partnerships, capital companies, and mixed-type companies. Only commercial businesses acquire the status of a merchant, bear the obligations associated with this status, and are subject to bankruptcy regulations in case of failure to pay their commercial debts. On the other hand, a civil business can adopt one of the specific forms of commercial companies, such as a general partnership, a simple limited partnership, a partnership limited by shares, a joint-stock company, or a limited liability company (SARL). In this document, we present the details for creating a limited liability company (SARL) in Morocco. Our company stands out with the following features:

Integrated management of administrative procedures.
Registration of the incorporation contract and establishment of the location.
Provision of the company address in a fast and easy manner.
Ready to obtain the commercial register within two weeks.

General Presentation of a Limited Liability Company (L.L.C)

A limited liability company, abbreviated as "S.A.R.L." (Société à Responsabilité Limitée), is a commonly used legal form in Morocco. In some countries, it is abbreviated as "L.L.C." (Limited Liability Company). This refers to a business composed of two or more partners, where each partner's liability in the event of the company's debts, obligations, or losses is limited to their share in the company's capital. A partner's share can be transferred to their heirs or designated persons in the event of death. The number of partners in this type of company cannot exceed fifty.

The Steps We Follow to Establish a Limited Liability Company (L.L.C)

This is the first step in establishing your business in Morocco, and it involves finding a name for your company that is not already registered in the commercial registry. This procedure applies to all commercial businesses, except for sole proprietorships that do not choose a trade name. You can obtain your negative certificate from the chambers of commerce or the Moroccan Office of Industrial and Commercial Property (OMPIC).

This is the second step in establishing the business. If a lease contract is available, it is used for the company creation process. If no lease contract is available, we provide a domiciliation contract for the business with available addresses.

The drafting of the Articles of Association for a Limited Liability Company (SARL) is an important step that can have legal consequences and affect the social status of the director or legal manager of the company. In our company, we prepare the Articles of Association (company creation contract) at the request of stakeholders. After drafting, we carefully read, understand, and seek agreement from all concerned parties before registering the contract. It is important to note that the legal manager of the company can be designated either in the Articles of Association or through a separate deed. However, due to our expertise, we recommend creating a separate deed for the appointment of the legal manager. This avoids the need to modify the entire Articles of Association whenever there is a change in management. Additionally, the capital of a Limited Liability Company is freely determined by the partners in the Articles of Association. The capital is divided into shares of equal nominal value according to the agreed-upon stakes.

If the share capital exceeds 100,000 Moroccan dirhams, it is required to block the capital in a bank of the company's choice. The bank will then issue a capital blocking certificate to confirm that the capital is held and cannot be used until the company is officially registered. For companies with share capital below 100,000 Moroccan dirhams, there is no legal obligation to block the capital. However, it is still recommended to do so. Blocking the capital ensures that the partners are committed to the company's capital and strengthens the credibility and stability of the business. This also assures the authorities that the company has sufficient financial backing before it is fully operational.

The goal of this step is to obtain a Business Tax Identification Number and a Tax Identification Number (TIN). The registration process is carried out at the regional tax office (bureau des impôts régional).
