About us
Behind the scenes at Beyond

Our Story
Founded in 2006 in Casablanca, the Moroccan Franchise Federation emerged from a clear observation: franchising holds tremendous potential for job creation and know‑how transfer, yet remains under‑developed in Morocco.
Initiated by pioneering entrepreneurs, the FMF set a two‑fold ambition: structure the local ecosystem and build gateways to international markets.
Eighteen years on, we unite 120+ brands—from bold start‑ups to multinational networks—around a shared commitment to excellence and ethics.

Our Mission
Educate, Innovate, Advocate – three pillars, one goal: elevate Moroccan franchising.
- Educate: FMF Academy, e‑learning modules and tailored coaching for future franchisors and franchisees.
- Innovate: applied‑research programmes, university partnerships and the “Franchise Lab” competition spotting tomorrow’s concepts.
- Advocate: constructive lobbying with ministries, legal & fiscal position papers, collective support in times of crisis (e.g., COVID‑19).
President’s Message
Laying the Foundation for Growth

“When we launched the FMF, it wasn’t just to create another association — it was to build a long-term strategy for Moroccan entrepreneurship.
Franchising is a powerful tool for job creation, skill transfer and economic inclusion. The FMF was created to unlock that potential and give it structure, voice and reach.”
