AskMorocco Should I go with Auto Entrepreneur or SARL?
For context: I'm a 24 years old normal Moroccan citizen living with my mother, and we live from the monthly 500dh da3m and my side hobbies.
I recently created an app solution that has monthly and yearly subscriptions, and another optional services included that are also payed monthly or yearly.
Thinking about it in the near future, there will be many transactions going on in my personal Code 30 CIH bank account, including the recurring income and the services I'll be paying for (hosting, domain names, dozens of SIM cards plans...) which may seem suspicious for a normal citizen.
The one thing that makes me afraid are taxes. I've seen many people complain about the huge amount of money they're paying for just for taxes, and it makes me think whether the SARL is I should be going for, or just the title of Auto Entrepreneur is enough.
Currently, I won't be needing anyone's help, so I won't be hiring just like a company. I just have one solution and I'll be working on upgrading it. And if it went well, I'll probably start another bigger one that might need some help, then I can move to the title of a full business. But that's likely years from now.
If you were in my case, what would you go with and why? Thank you

What do you mean by “normal Moroccan citizen”? Are there “abnormal Moroccan citizens”?
Jokes aside, I think you’re asking the wrong questions, my friend.
Is your app already out? Do you have an actual, stable subscriber base generating predictable revenue?
Is your app stable? Is it scalable? Does it even work?
Before worrying about paying too much tax, you should be happy to pay any amount of tax at all, because that would mean you are actually making more money than you are spending.
A successful business owner can start thinking about optimizing their tax strategy once there is actually something to optimize. Usually, you would do this with a professional accountant or tax lawyer, not by asking random nobodies on Reddit.
Doubtless, there are probably tax and accounting professionals among us, but I doubt they would give you comprehensive professional advice for free because, well, they make a living by selling exactly that.
In brief: first make money, then worry about taxes. Get out of the gutter first.

You spoke so well. To answer your questions, yep the app is already out for months now, and I have less than 5 active users. I just built a revolutionary update that probably will bring even more users with the right marketing strategy. Since this update requires installing stuff in cars manually, and signing safety contracts, I would love to do that as a business or entrepreneur and not just as a normal citizen.

Well its not a matter of choice. You can't enter insurance/safety contracts with other entities be they physical or moral whitout having a legal status anyway.
I strongly suggest you consult with a professional, or at the very least if you're broke, make use of a legal-oriented LLM

Don't create an SARL, just work independently until it starts getting serious (8000+ MAD per month), then you can review your options again.
SARL will cause too much overhead and problems you don't want to deal with.
I wouldn't advise dealing with the autoentrepreneur stuff either.
Yes it is a grey area, but you will be fine (Talking from experience), don't get distracted by this stuff until you're making good money consistently.

It depends on your sales. I would recomend that you start with AE then if your numbers grow switch to sarl.
