Since the beginning of the current year, the number of business creations in Morocco has shown an upward trend. In January, it rose to 7,041 units and, in February, to 8,354 or 1,313 additional companies in one month.
In March, this dynamic was less strong, since during the third month of the first quarter, the Moroccan Office of Industrial and Commercial Property (OMPIC) recorded 9,266 business creations, or only 912 more businesses.

The Direct Entreprise platform to propel creations
As we announced in a previous edition, the Direct entreprise platform, dedicated to online business creation from A to Z, via digital, is ready. Abdelaziz Babqiqi, Director General of OMPIC, assured that “we are on the home stretch, before the launch of the business creation platform. Everything that had to be done has been settled, all the ministries concerned have signed the decree. We are just waiting for the green light from the government for the launch of the platform”.
It should be remembered that, for this project, the OMPIC was accompanied and supported by a group of state institutions involved throughout the business creation process, in particular the CNSS, the General Directorate of Taxes, the Ministry of Justice and the General Secretariat of the Government.
