FAQ Offshoring Morocco 2025
- What is the difference between nearshore and offshore?
- Nearshore refers to outsourcing to a country close geographically and culturally. Morocco for Europe means max 1h time difference (GMT+1), daily direct flights (Paris-Casablanca 3h), and French/English-speaking work culture. Classic offshore (India, Philippines) involves 5-8h time difference, making synchronous collaboration difficult.
- Can we create a 100% autonomous subsidiary in Morocco?
- Yes, absolutely. VOID supports you in creating a Moroccan subsidiary (SARL or SA) with full legal and operational autonomy. You can be 100% shareholder (foreign capital allowed), recruit directly, define your company culture, and manage your teams freely. VOID handles initial setup (legal creation, tax, HR, infrastructure) in 12-16 weeks, then you pilot your center independently. You benefit from 2025 Circular tax advantages by managing files yourself (VOID trains your teams on procedures).
- How long to have an operational team?
- With VOID, a squad of 5-10 developers is operational in 6 to 8 weeks: sourcing, technical interviews, onboarding, infrastructure (VPN, CI/CD, tools). For an autonomous subsidiary, expect 12 to 16 weeks (legal creation, first batch recruitment, local management training included).
- Is Morocco GDPR compliant for hosting European data?
- Morocco has law 09-08 on personal data protection, supervised by the CNDP (National Commission for Personal Data Protection Control). The CNDP is aligned with European standards. An Adequacy Decision with the EU is under negotiation. Meanwhile, data transfers to Morocco are possible via Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) or Binding Corporate Rules (BCR). VOID helps you implement these mechanisms.
- Can we benefit from tax advantages outside P2I Offshoring?
- Yes, partially. According to Article II-2 of the Circular, companies outside P2I can benefit from:
- Employment Grant (PAE): 17% of gross annual salary
- Training Grant (PAF): 3.5% of gross annual salary
