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

Simo
“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.”
Si Mohamed El Fan
President of FMF
