Living and running a business in Marrakech

I am going to run a business in Morocco and I would like to operate in the 'Cosmetics' field. I have already tested a new formula in Italy and the feedback is 'excellent' at the moment.
Due to the high 'production costs', I am thinking to move the business to Morocco and I would like to find a business partner there who is available to invest and also to work in.
I worked for a long time in the packaging industry and I was responsible for the HR Department.

Looking forward to possible reply, I thank in advance.

Regards,
Ottorino

@ Ottorino > It would be best if you can post an ad in the Business partners classifieds In Marrakech section, it is in fact the most appropriate section for this type of ad.

Thanks

I have just read your forum which gave me a fair idea about cities in Morocco.
I am originally an Electrical engineer with fluent Arabic & English languages.
I am planning to open two businesses in one of the cities in Morocco
1- Auto electric system repairs that deals with all wiring systems, problems in cars electrical systems, repairs of starter motors, alternators, etc. This workshop should be located in a car repair industrial area within a Moroccan city.

CAN YPU PLEASE ADVISE ME OF NAMES OF CARS REPAIRS AREAS IN MARAKESH, RIBAT & CASABLANCA

2- Running an Electrical Maintenance Company that provide solutions to problems of electrical systems and electrical projects

To run both above businesses I can train two local Moroccan people of car electrical systems repairs and simultaneously manage the above electrical services company
Your advises on the above is appreciated
Thanks

Dear
if you are living in Marakesh please inform me of names and locations of cars repairs industrial locations and dome of the websites of the auto electricsl workshops.
i will meet you in Morocco when i come
thanks

Hi there if you are interested in shoes business from Morocco I am willing to help you with that because I work in the Markets and I know all about the business that goes around, plus my brother used to make them and has great friends that can sell you a huge quantity for pretty cheap

Wow....This is very interesting about the shoes, IsmailOuaiahou, I might be interested in knowing more about what you are doing now that you have returned to Marrakech. My husband and friends of mine are doing a new business in Marrakech too. We (he and our partner friends) are startng a tourist transport in Marrakech. The business is in cooperation with a few local who are already established in the tourist trade. It is all very exciting and seems to have gotten off to a promissing start. My husband is driving clients around the city or countryside to exotic  places and stopping along the way to eat or shop. We would be very happy if we could  learn of Interesting places that people have found or that are owned or operated by friendly locals or fellow expats. Working together is a great "win" "win" for everyone. I would love to talk more here about this on the topic of discussion. (generally...be careful to don't directly advertise or they will block the post)  BUT Please feel free to privately message me if you have an interest knowing more about our specific business, information on a possible business cooperations, or you just want to learn more about what we are doing and how we as professionals might be able to help eachother.

May God bless everyone here to find a great success in life and good fortunes in new friendships.

Hello everyone

@ aboshehab, the post of Deborah is from 2010 i don't think you will get any reply.

Better you participate on more recent threads of the Marrakech forum if you have any infos.

all the very best
Bhavna

I would like more info , I am in casablanca  and I have residency.  But I am thinking of a business. .. not really know where to start . I don't speak French an little Arabic. ... any info I wold greatly appreciate it .

I would have to start at home . Is that possible ?

Hi Debra

I am Lichfield come to see me. ****

Hi Nebraska Girl,  Glad to hear that your business is doing well and you are enjoying what you are doing as well. Interesting business idea I must say. My husband (British citizeb) and I (Moroccan) are thinking to swap Britain for Morocco and start a business, but I am not sure what would work.  A few ideas are: teaching, importing clothes, food. But tourism also attracts us. Would you be kind enough to tell us more about how you set up your business, the whereabouts, and how you establish contact with clients. I would appreciate your input.
Many thanks,
Malika

Hi malika

Can you ask your husband to look for place


Best regards

Hiiii

Dutch/Moroccan woman, 35 years and living in 2 countries the Netherlands and Kech
I'm struggling for more than 2 years in Kech to open my own business. It all looks simple and easy but you have to know people, all kind of different people, you have a lot of patience, allot of money, and a really good, trustfull partner. You're network is very important. Also renting in Kesh you need a big amount of money to pay for the key. You pay "keymoney"and than you're rent. That's a way of working you cannot escape. Never trust at first somebody, because they all can help you but my experience : the better it sounds the more you got to stay away.
Thai restaurants are allot in Kesh, it's like everybody opens a Thai ur sushi. That's handled, Kesh needs new, refressing ideas ;-)) like Indonesian ur Vietnam food. For questions ur info, just ask. Succes and have a lovely day

well, in order to set up a successful and beneficial snack in kech, a one has to keep in mind several  factors:
finding a location near a populated place and not necessarily  prestigious and expensive place like Guiliz. a snak near universities is a good idea for example!
displaying reasonable prices for customers so that they come repetitively

Hi
Can you able to find for me by train station Marrakech or Muhammad av6 round for to rent to open restaurant


Best regards

Abdul salam
Uk

Does it have to be in the places you mentioned ?

Any place where tourists are

Guiliz is fine look for me the rented place

Abduls, I know 2 properties/restaurants in the heart of Gueliz.
