The U.S. Flip — Take Your Moroccan Startup to a U.S.-Led Group Structure

We create a new U.S. parent company that holds complete ownership of your existing Moroccan entity — the structure global investors expect, typically completed in 4 to 8 weeks.

Why Founders Flip

Three Reasons Founders Choose the U.S. Flip

Investment Access

U.S. VCs and accelerators (like Y Combinator) typically require a U.S. legal nexus to deploy capital. The flip gives them exactly that.

Equity Management

Simplified equity issuance for employees and investors under U.S. law — stock options and SAFEs work the way your investors expect.

Future Growth

A cleaner path for future M&A or IPO activities, with a corporate structure acquirers and underwriters already understand.

Our Methodology

A Proven 4-Step Path

The flip typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on cap table complexity.

Strategic Assessment

We analyze your current cap table and tax position to design the optimal structure.

U.S. Incorporation

Creation of your U.S. parent company with investor-aligned bylaws.

Share Exchange

Moroccan shareholders exchange local shares for shares in the U.S. parent.

Compliance Alignment

EIN setup and preparation for IRS filings (Forms 5471 / 5472).

After the Flip

Post-Flip Advantages, Handled by One Partner

Unified Reporting

U.S. GAAP consolidation presenting your Moroccan and U.S. financials as one coherent statement.

Automated Compliance

Ongoing handling of Form 5472 and FBAR filings — no missed deadlines, no surprise penalties.

Tax Efficiency

Structuring that respects the U.S.–Morocco Tax Treaty to minimize double taxation across the group.
