Investment project in Morocco: feasibility, financing and incentives
Feasibility, financing plan, investment charter incentives and legal security: the stages of structuring an investment project in Morocco, from the first diagnosis to the decision.
Assessing feasibility before any commitment
Structuring an investment project in Morocco starts with a simple question: does the project hold up? The feasibility study first examines the target market, production capacity, the site and costs. It thus separates solid assumptions from fragile ones.
This stage indeed shapes everything that follows. A project built on fragile assumptions later runs into the requirements of banks and public bodies. It is therefore better to revise the project at this point than after filing the application.
Investment project in Morocco: the financing plan
The financing plan combines equity, bank debt and any public support. It relies in particular on consistent financial forecasts: revenue, expenses, working capital requirements and cash flow.
The firm builds these elements so that a third party can read them easily. A banker or an investment committee must indeed grasp the logic of the project, its risks and its repayment capacity quickly.
Investment charter incentives
Framework law No. 03-22 on the investment charter, published in the Official Bulletin in December 2022, sets out several support schemes. It provides in particular for a main scheme based on grants, as well as specific schemes. In addition, AMDIE and the regional investment centres inform and guide project owners.
However, each scheme sets its own eligibility conditions. The project team therefore checks these conditions early on, before any final choice of location or schedule. The invest in Morocco page also details the grants and the MSME scheme.
Financial Engineering & Grants
This service line specifically builds investment and financing applications: project structuring, financing plan, financial forecasts and supporting case. It also identifies the schemes available — Investment Charter incentives, public support programmes, bank financing — and checks their eligibility conditions.
The quality of the application determines the decision: the firm ensures its overall coherence, prepares the required documents and supports the sponsor in exchanges with the reviewing bodies until a decision is obtained.

International Business Law
This service line also secures cross-border transactions: foreign investments, partnerships, international commercial and distribution contracts. It specifically analyses the applicable legal framework, the parties' commitments and the risks attached to the transaction.
The work draws on command of international investment law and trade agreements, in order to address points of friction — governing law, dispute resolution, investment protection — before signature rather than at the litigation stage.

Entrepreneurship & Early-Stage Ventures
This service line supports project sponsors and start-ups at the stage when founding choices are made: validating the idea, business model, legal and financial structuring, preparing the first funding applications.
Project assessment separates sound assumptions from fragile ones before any commitment. Support also draws on the founder's experience in entrepreneurial mentoring and on knowledge of the schemes supporting business creation and early-stage funding.

International Trade & Export
Finally, this service line supports organisations expanding internationally: choice of markets, entry modes, organisation of the export function and command of the regimes applicable to trade.
It draws on knowledge of trade agreements, rules of origin and tariff classification, built up through the firm's customs work, so that market access rests on a sound basis and the tariff preferences provided by the agreements are actually obtained.
