Common questions
For incorporation alone, yes. Upsilon's local SARL formation (MAD 4,500-7,500) is cheaper than Commenda's $2,000. The difference is what comes after: Commenda runs the entity and consolidates it with your other countries on software, with transfer pricing. For a Morocco-only company, a local firm can be the better-value choice.
No. Morocco does not require a local or resident director, and a non-resident foreign legal manager is allowed. Full foreign ownership is permitted. Commenda, Upsilon, and Tetra Consultants all form SARLs for foreign owners.
Commenda's incorporation is $2,000 (with modular add-ons). Upsilon lists SARL formation at MAD 4,500-7,500 (~US$460-770). Tetra Consultants is quote-based.
Yes. Every Moroccan company must have a registered legal address. If you do not have your own premises, Commenda provides a domiciliation address at $500/year so the company always has a valid registered office.
With Commenda, full incorporation (name reservation through company activation) takes about 2 to 3 weeks. A local corporate bank account must be opened in person by the legal manager.
