He studied printing in Paris.[2] He invested in modern printing equipment, which he sent to Tangier where he established the French Printing House on Qadi Street.[2] He also had a photography studio.[2]
He started the newspapers Kol Israel (1891),[6] Mébasser Tov (1894-1895), and Moghrabi (1904),[3] though these periodicals were short-lived.[7] Benaïoun also founded el Horria / La Liberté (1915-1922), which covered Jewish interests in Morocco in two different editions: one in Judeo-Arabic and one in French.[7][8]
He also owned Maṭbaʻat Sulaymān bin Ḥayyūn.[9]
