Create a Subsidiary in Morocco

Expanding your business into Morocco is a strategic opportunity for international companies. Creating a subsidiary in Morocco allows foreign businesses to establish a local presence and operate legally within the Moroccan market.

At Bhadviser, we help international companies set up subsidiaries in Morocco with full legal and administrative support.

What is a Subsidiary Company?

A subsidiary is a company that is owned or controlled by a parent company. In Morocco, a subsidiary operates as a separate legal entity, but it is owned by a foreign or local parent company.

Most subsidiaries in Morocco are created as a SARL (Limited Liability Company) or SA (Joint Stock Company).

Benefits of Creating a Subsidiary in Morocco

Opening a subsidiary offers several advantages for international businesses:

  • Access to the Moroccan market

  • Limited liability protection

  • Local business presence

  • Easier operations with Moroccan partners

  • Ability to hire employees locally

Morocco is also an important gateway to African markets.
