Exceeding the self-employed cap in Morocco
Reaching the self-employed cap — MAD 200,000 for services or MAD 500,000 for trade — is a sign of success and a signal to change status. Here is how to continue without interruption or company creation.
Signs it is time to switch
Cap calculator shows over 70% consumption before year end — especially for services (MAD 200,000 threshold).
You turn down missions or delay invoicing to spread revenue: a signal the cap is limiting growth.
International clients require contracts, insurance or a structured intermediary that self-employed status does not scale well for.
Your concrete options
LLC / single-member LLC: full structure, accounting, accountant — relevant for long-term capital projects.
WEEPO umbrella company: no company to create, employment contract, employee CNSS, no revenue cap — transition in 1–2 weeks.
Voluntarily reducing activity: rarely a viable commercial strategy.
Why umbrella rather than an LLC?
No share capital or lengthy incorporation. WEEPO becomes legal employer, invoices your clients, pays you net in MAD.
Full employee social protection vs limited self-employed AMO. Ideal for IT/design consultants with France or Europe clients.
WEEPO umbrella simulator: estimate net based on monthly billed revenue and management fees.
Switching to umbrella with WEEPO
Step 1 — Simulation and advisor call (revenue, clients, day rate).
Step 2 — Sign employment contract + mission agreement.
Step 3 — WEEPO invoices your clients, you receive net salary with CNSS.
Anticipate from 80% of the cap to avoid automatic deregistration.
