I returned last month from a 3 week vacation in Morocco and fell in love with the place and am looking to make a move.  I have an Arabic background but was born, raised and educated in the US and only speak English.  I am taking online classes in French but it will obviously take some time to become fluent.

I have an MS in Financial Engineering and have worked in capital markets, derivatives, trading, portfolio management and real estate for many years.  I have heard too many recommendations to come to Morocco and start my own company but, first, I don't think it is wise to think I can walk into another country and be immediately successful in my own entrepreneurial venture without adequate time to assess risks, rewards, opportunities and to know the "system."  Secondly, I have always worked for others and never started my own company.  I am very hard working, initiative taking and entrepreneurial within companies that I work for but I cannot claim expertise in how business is done in Morocco... at least not yet!

Can you please take a look at my profile and advise if there could be opportunities for for my kind of background and/or if you can recommend a Moroccan, American or British company that could benefit from my education and experience!



Thanks in advance

Hi. I’m glad you loved Morocco’s and let me assure you it’s an amazing place to settle and do business. Or of great opportunities around now.

I have also replied via email.

I can tell you moving to another country and starting your busienss takes a lot of guts. It’s scary and can be very stressful.

But don’t let that put you off. I have similar background to your business wise. Working in morocco in this work can be difficult as there are not many opportunities for employment in this field.

However starting a company and if your able to even invest in assets yourself will bring you a good income and help you expand and grow.

We offer consulting services and also can assist in finding the right assets for investment or even a small development project depending on your budget.

Iv been hear for 7 years and have made some mistakes but also many great moment. Please feel free to ask any questions and I will be happy to help and guide as best as possible. I’m in marrekech.
