Morocco’s entrepreneurial momentum continues to gather pace, with new data revealing strong growth in business creation. By the end of October 2025, a total of 92,232 new businesses had been registered across the country, according to figures released by the Moroccan Office of Industrial and Commercial Property (OMPIC). This number includes both legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, confirming sustained enthusiasm for private enterprise.
Breaking it down, 66,391 of these newly established entities are classified as legal persons—essentially corporate structures—while 25,841 are individual entrepreneurs. This distribution reinforces the trend toward forming registered companies, which now dominate the national business landscape.
In terms of sectors, commerce remains the leading driver of entrepreneurship, accounting for over a third of new registrations (35.75%). Following closely are construction, public works, and real estate, making up nearly 20% of new businesses. Other services come next, representing 17.57% of the total. Transport and industry contribute more modestly, with 7.67% and 7.03% respectively, while the hospitality and food sector captures 5.7%. Information and communication technologies are still lagging at just 2.94%, ahead of agriculture and fishing (1.81%) and financial services (1.80%).
Regionally, the Casablanca-Settat area remains the epicenter of business creation, with 28,748 companies launched—more than 31% of the national total. Trailing behind are the regions of Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceima (12,601) and Rabat-Salé-Kénitra (11,779). Marrakech-Safi also shows strong numbers with 10,524 new enterprises. Other notable contributors include Fès-Meknès (6,351), Souss-Massa (6,149), and the Oriental region (6,165). Even the southern regions are showing solid entrepreneurial activity: Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra registered 3,356 new companies, Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab added 2,604, Béni Mellal-Khénifra saw 2,274, Drâa-Tafilalet posted 1,992, and Guelmim-Oued Noun contributed 689.
As for business structures, the single-member limited liability company (SARL-AU) remains the overwhelming favorite, representing 64.9% of all new registrations. Traditional limited liability companies (SARL) follow at 34.4%, while joint-stock companies (SA) account for just 0.2%. All other legal forms combined make up only 0.5%, highlighting a strong preference for simpler, more flexible business models.
These figures mirror patterns seen in recent years: formal entrepreneurship continues to rise, especially in Morocco’s economically vibrant regions, and is largely focused on service-oriented sectors. The overwhelming dominance of the SARL format suggests that entrepreneurs are opting for accessible legal structures, steering clear of more complex corporate models.
