Moroccan legaltech startup Charikaty is expanding its services beyond company registration as it seeks to help businesses manage more stages of their growth. The move could give entrepreneurs faster access to legal, accounting, compliance and digital business services while creating a path for the company to expand into Egypt and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets.
Charikaty has closed a pre-seed funding round at a valuation of €3 million, equivalent to MAD 32.6 million. The round includes investors from the Gulf and will support the company’s plans to build services around the wider lifecycle of a business.
Dubai-based Red Tape Ventures, Faris Al-Obaid of Mastercard Kuwait and Saudi professional footballer Faris Abdi of Al-Ittihad participated in the round, alongside other undisclosed investors.
The company was founded by Amr Mouaqit and Driss Sijelmassi. They said their experience helping entrepreneurs create companies showed them that founders need support well beyond incorporation.
Their strategy is now focused on building services that remain useful after a company has been legally established.
From Incorporation to Ongoing Business Support
Charikaty initially built its platform around company incorporation. Entrepreneurs can register a SARL, SARL AU, SAS or foreign subsidiary fully online, using a legalised electronic signature and a fixed price disclosed upfront.
The process can take as little as three days. The platform also has a dedicated diaspora channel for Moroccans living in more than 100 countries. This allows founders abroad to establish businesses without travelling to Morocco, using a proxy or attending a consular appointment.
The company also provides statutory modifications, domiciliation, accounting packs, trademark filing and dissolution services. Users can track their files in real time and have a named jurist assigned to each case.
The founders believe this existing relationship with entrepreneurs creates an opportunity to provide more services as companies develop. “Company creation gave us a clear view of what entrepreneurs need next,” the co-founders said.
The expansion comes as Morocco continues to move company administration online. According to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, more than 50,300 companies have been created electronically since the launch of the country’s electronic company-creation system. Electronic creation accounted for 44% of total company creations in 2026.
New Ventures Target the Next Stages of Growth
Charikaty has already begun putting its wider strategy into practice with Webaty, which launched in September. The venture helps businesses build websites based on their profession and the outcome they want from their online presence.
Webaty draws on Charikaty’s experience across more than 16 industry sectors, including e-commerce, construction, consulting, restaurants and short-term rentals. Once the required content is ready, an initial version of a website can be delivered within 72 hours.
A second venture focused on accounting and compliance is expected to launch later in September. It will initially be built around Morocco’s accounting and tax rules, including the country’s incoming electronic invoicing mandate.
The opportunity extends beyond Morocco. Electronic invoicing mandates are already in place in Egypt and Saudi Arabia and are expanding across the Gulf. Charikaty’s leaders say tax administration is increasingly moving online across the region, creating demand for software that can adapt to local regulations.
The participation of Gulf investors also gives Charikaty stronger links to the markets it plans to enter. The company intends to expand its accounting and compliance services into Egypt and the GCC.
For entrepreneurs, the strategy could reduce the need to find separate providers for different stages of running a business. For Charikaty, each company created through its platform can also become a potential customer for the services it introduces later.
The company is therefore moving from helping businesses start to supporting what happens after registration. Its next challenge will be to prove that this technology-led model can serve businesses across Morocco and, eventually, a much wider regional market.
