Create and manage a business in Morocco
From the idea to routine formalities: creation, trade name, commercial register, ICE, taxation, CNSS and authorisations for entrepreneurs.
A journey organized around your situation
This page is a decision hub. It does not replace the SME page, the Self-employed entrepreneurs page or the Business and investment category: it organises procedures according to the stages of creating and managing a business activity.
Good to know: e-services.ma is a private and independent directory. Conditions, deadlines, amounts and supporting documents must be confirmed on official portals.
