Charikaty launches online company creation service for Moroccan diaspora

Moroccan LegalTech platform Charikaty has introduced a fully digital service that allows Moroccans living abroad to create and manage businesses in Morocco without traveling to the country. The initiative aims to simplify entrepreneurship for members of the Moroccan diaspora by moving the entire company formation process online.

The new service enables non-resident Moroccans to complete every stage of business registration remotely. Users can verify their identity, choose a legal structure, prepare and sign documents digitally, and register their companies with Moroccan authorities through a single online platform.

The launch addresses a long-standing challenge faced by Moroccans abroad who wanted to invest in their home country. Traditionally, establishing a company often required travel to Morocco or reliance on intermediaries through power of attorney arrangements. Charikaty seeks to eliminate these administrative barriers by providing a transparent digital process managed from anywhere in the world.

The company is targeting one of Morocco’s most important economic communities. Remittances from Moroccans living abroad reached a record MAD 122 billion in 2025, while the Moroccan diaspora is estimated at more than 6.5 million people. Despite their strong contribution to the economy, administrative procedures for business creation have largely remained dependent on in-person interactions.

Founded by Amr Mouaqit and Driss Sijelmassi, Charikaty was created to address the complexity often associated with starting a business in Morocco. The founders argue that these difficulties become even greater for entrepreneurs who live thousands of kilometers away.

Beyond company formation, the platform also offers services related to company modifications, trademark registration, and legal compliance. The goal is to allow business owners abroad to manage their Moroccan operations without making repeated trips home.

The launch comes as Morocco continues efforts to encourage investment from its diaspora. Authorities have promoted administrative simplification for Moroccans abroad, while Regional Investment Centers have introduced programs designed to attract diaspora capital. The country’s Maroc Digital 2030 strategy also supports the wider digitalization of public services.

According to Charikaty Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Amr Mouaqit, many Moroccans abroad want to invest and build businesses in Morocco but are often discouraged by logistical and administrative hurdles. He said the platform aims to make company creation as accessible from abroad as it is for entrepreneurs based in Morocco.

Looking ahead, Charikaty plans to strengthen partnerships with banks, consulates, and diaspora organizations in Europe and North America. The company also intends to expand multilingual support as it works toward becoming a key legal and administrative platform for Moroccan entrepreneurs worldwide.
