How to set up a company in Marrakech in 2026: Complete step-by-step guide

Setting up a company in Marrakech is a strategic decision for any entrepreneur wishing to establish themselves in North Africa. In 2026, the procedures for starting a business in Morocco have been significantly simplified - but they remain technical. This guide presents the 7 essential steps to launch your activity in Marrakech in full compliance.

Step 1 — The Negative Certificate

The first step to create your company in Marrakech is to obtain a negative certificate from OMPIC. This document certifies that the commercial name you have chosen is available and is reserved for you.

Timeframe: 24 to 48 hours (online at ompic.ma)
Cost: around 230 DH
Validity: 90 days

💡 Choose 2 or 3 alternative names in case the main name is rejected.

Step 2 — Business Domiciliation in Marrakech

Every company must have a legal registered office address. In Marrakech, you have two options: domiciliation with a specialized provider or in your own premises.

TAW 10 offers prestigious and professional addresses in the heart of Marrakech, recognized by the commercial court and tax administrations.

The advantages of a professional domiciliation:

Enhanced brand image
Separation of personal / professional address
Official mail handling included
Guaranteed legal compliance

Step 3 — Drafting the Articles of Association

The articles of association are the founding act of your company. For a SARL (Limited Liability Company) — the most chosen legal form in Marrakech — they must obligatorily include:

The company name
The corporate purpose (business activity)
The amount of share capital (symbolic minimum: 1 DH)
The distribution of shares among partners
The management terms

⚠️ An error in the articles of association can block registration or lead to legal problems later. Our legal advisors draft your articles of association in total compliance with Moroccan law.

Step 4 — Depositing the Share Capital

You must deposit the share capital in a blocked bank account in the name of the company under creation. The bank will issue a deposit certificate, a mandatory document for registration.

Minimum SARL capital: 1 DH (symbolic)
Certificate issued within: 24-48h
The account is unblocked after obtaining the RC

Step 5 — Registration in the Commercial Registry (RC)

Registration at the Marrakech Commercial Court makes your company officially exist. The file includes:

Signed and legalized articles of association
Valid negative certificate
Share capital deposit certificate
Domiciliation contract or title deed
ID / passport of the manager(s)

Average timeframe: 3 to 5 business days with TAW 10.

Step 6 — Tax ID (IF) and Business Tax (Patente)

After the RC, you must register with the Marrakech Regional Tax Directorate to obtain:

The Tax Identifier (IF): mandatory for issuing invoices
The Patente: annual professional tax
CNSS registration if you employ staff

Step 7 — Opening the Final Bank Account

Once the RC is obtained, the blocked account is unblocked and you can open your definitive professional bank account. Some banks in Marrakech offer packages dedicated to new companies.
