Frequently asked questions
What can you do if a partner is blocking the company's operations?
Depending on the situation, several routes exist: calling a general meeting, asking the court to appoint a court representative, bringing a liability action against the manager or, in serious cases, judicial dissolution. The articles of association and the shareholders' agreement often contain useful rules. Reviewing the company's documents makes it possible to choose the most suitable approach.
SARL or SA: which form should you choose to set up a company in Morocco?
The SARL (limited liability company), governed by Law No. 5-96, suits most SMEs: it can be formed by one or more partners and is flexible to manage. The SA (public limited company), governed by Law No. 17-95, is better suited to projects with many shareholders or plans for significant fundraising. The choice also depends on taxation, the number of partners and the governance rules you want.
