Need to Know

Essential answers to help you legally form, structure, or transition your cannabis business in Morocco.

Can foreigners create cannabis companies in Morocco?

Yes. Foreigners can form cannabis companies, but Moroccan law requires specific ownership thresholds and a registered local office. Licensing approval from ANRAC and compliance with sector-specific regulations are also mandatory.

What’s the best legal structure for cannabis operations?

The ideal structure depends on your goals. Cooperatives are required for cultivation, while companies suit processing, export, or investment partnerships. We help assess your model and ensure legal alignment with licensing needs.

Can I convert my cooperative into a private company?

Yes, we provide legal support to restructure cooperatives into companies. This includes preserving GACP compliance, transferring assets, redefining governance, and maintaining eligibility for cannabis licensing during the transition.

What’s the typical timeline for company registration?

Registration usually takes 1–3 weeks, depending on entity type, required documentation, and licensing complexity. We accelerate the process by managing filings and coordinating with Moroccan administrative bodies.

What legal documents are required to register or restructure?

You’ll need bylaws, shareholder or cooperative agreements, director identification, commercial registration forms, and any supporting documents related to your cannabis activity (e.g., ANRAC application, site license, equity structure). We assist in preparing and submitting all materials.
