Frequently Asked Questions

The questions investors and companies ask us most about investing and doing business in Morocco.

Can foreigners buy property in Morocco? +

Yes. Foreigners can generally buy property in Morocco — apartments, villas, commercial premises and urban land — in their own name or through a company. The main restriction concerns agricultural land, which is subject to specific rules. We guide you through what applies to your case.

Do I need a local partner to set up a company? +

No. For most activities, 100% foreign ownership is allowed. The limited liability company (SARL) is the most common vehicle for foreign investors. We help you choose the right structure and set it up.

How long does it take to set up a company? +

A Moroccan company is typically incorporated within a few weeks, depending on the structure, the activity and how quickly documents are ready. We coordinate the steps so nothing stalls.

What types of company can I set up? +

The most common are the SARL (limited liability company) and the SA (public limited company). Foreign companies can also open a branch office or a liaison office. We advise on the best fit for your project.

Can I repatriate my profits and capital? +

Yes. Foreign investment registered under Morocco’s convertibility regime generally allows the repatriation of profits and invested capital. We help ensure your investment is structured and registered correctly from the start.

Is there a minimum investment? +

There is no general minimum capital for a SARL, and requirements vary by activity and structure. We help you size the project realistically, including any incentives it may qualify for.

What exactly does MATOUT SERVICES GROUP do for me? +

We are a single point of contact from idea to execution: finding the opportunity, property or land, setting up the company, connecting local partners, and following the project through development, construction and growth — plus trade, clearing and logistics where needed.
