Morocco Business Directory: How to Find & Verify Companies
This page is a curated guide to Morocco's principal official and publicly accessible business directories, registers and sector databases. It is intended as a starting reference for investors, exporters, journalists and researchers who need to identify a Moroccan company, verify a counterparty, or map participants in a specific sector. Wherever possible the guide points to primary sources maintained by government agencies and trade bodies rather than to aggregators.
1. Statutory company registers
Morocco operates a layered system of statutory registers that, read together, give a reliable picture of a legally constituted Moroccan company.
- Registre du Commerce (Trade Register). Every commercial company in Morocco must be registered at the commercial-court-administered Trade Register of the city in which it is headquartered (Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, and so on). Certified extracts (modèle 7, modèle J) list the legal form, share capital, registered office, management and activity codes, and are the canonical proof that a Moroccan company exists.
- OMPIC — Moroccan Industrial and Commercial Property Office. OMPIC operates the central national trade register (the RNE) and also the registers for patents, trademarks, industrial designs, business names and commercial leasing. Its online services allow users to search for a company by name, verify a trade name or trademark, and obtain register extracts.
- Identifiant Commun de l'Entreprise (ICE). The ICE is Morocco's unified company identifier, shared across the Trade Register, tax administration, customs, social security and statistics services. Quoting the ICE when requesting information typically resolves ambiguity about which legal entity is being referred to.
- Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI). The tax administration assigns the Identifiant Fiscal to every taxable entity. It is the secondary key most commonly used by financial institutions to identify a Moroccan counterparty.
2. Investment-promotion directories
- AMDIE — Moroccan Investment and Export Development Agency. AMDIE is the national promotion body that consolidates information on sectors, incentives, industrial zones and export supply chains. Its sector fact sheets and company listings are a standard starting point for foreign investors mapping Morocco's industrial ecosystem.
- CRI — Regional Investment Centres. The twelve Regional Investment Centres run local portals with directories of companies established in their region, profiles of available industrial sites and a one-stop shop for company formation. Regional coverage varies, but the Casablanca-Settat, Tangier-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma, and Rabat-Salé-Kénitra CRIs maintain particularly well-populated databases reflecting the country's main industrial corridors.
- Tangier Med Zones. The Tangier Med industrial platform publishes public directories of the automotive, aerospace, logistics and shared-services firms operating inside its free zones (Tangier Free Zone, Tangier Automotive City, Renault Tangier, and others).
- Casablanca Finance City (CFC). CFC maintains a members' directory of the financial, professional-services and corporate regional-HQ firms holding CFC status, organised by activity category.
3. Chambers of commerce and professional federations
Moroccan chambers of commerce and sector federations are the best route to directories of active operators within a given city or industry:
- CGEM — the Confédération Générale des Entreprises du Maroc, Morocco's main employers' federation, groups dozens of sector federations (automotive, textile, agribusiness, digital, offshoring, pharmaceuticals, and more), each with its own member directory.
- Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Services operate at regional level and maintain city-specific business rolls (Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, Marrakech, Agadir, Fez).
- Bilateral chambers — including the American Chamber of Commerce in Morocco, the French Chamber (CFCIM), the British Moroccan Chamber and the Spanish Chamber — publish directories of their respective members that are useful when mapping foreign-invested firms in Morocco.
- AMITH, AMICA, APEBI, FENAGRI, FIMME and GIMAS are the sector federations covering textiles and apparel, automotive components, IT and offshoring, agri-food, metalworking and aerospace respectively; each maintains a public member list.
4. Listed companies and financial information
- Bourse de Casablanca. The Casablanca Stock Exchange publishes the complete list of listed issuers together with regulatory filings, prospectuses and market data. Listed firms cover banking, insurance, telecoms, cement, real estate, distribution, tourism and mining.
- AMMC — Autorité Marocaine du Marché des Capitaux. The capital-markets authority publishes the registers of licensed asset managers, brokers, crowdfunding platforms and public-offering issuers.
- Bank Al-Maghrib. The central bank's website lists every licensed bank, finance company, payment institution and microfinance association operating in Morocco.
5. Sector-specific and technical registers
- Office des Changes. Foreign-exchange statistics, exporter and importer guidelines, and data on FDI flows by sector and origin country.
- ONSSA. The food-safety agency publishes lists of approved food-processing plants, slaughterhouses and export-certified establishments.
- MASEN and ONEE. The solar agency and the national electricity and water utility publish information on generation projects and infrastructure operators.
- Ministry of Health registers. Public registers of licensed pharmaceutical laboratories, medical-device distributors and health establishments.
- Ministry of Equipment and Water. Registers of public-works contractors and engineering firms qualified for state tenders.
6. How to verify a Moroccan counterparty
A defensible basic verification of a Moroccan company typically combines three sources: the OMPIC trade-register extract (confirming legal existence, management and share capital), the ICE (to reconcile the entity across tax, customs and social-security databases), and the regulator-specific licence (for example a Bank Al-Maghrib entry for a financial institution or an ONSSA authorisation for a food exporter). For larger transactions, investors ordinarily supplement these public sources with professional due-diligence performed by a licensed auditor or a Moroccan law firm.
