Under Oman’s Foreign Capital Investment Law most commercial activities are open to 100% foreign ownership — no Omani partner, no nominee arrangement. We reserve the name, map the activity, draft the constitutive contract and file the registration, then take it through to the commercial registration (CR) number, the chamber, the bank and the investor visa.

Ownership, capital, how many shareholders, and whether you can trade on the mainland all follow from this one decision.
The default for a trading or services business selling inside Oman.

Ask about this structureThis is the mainland route. A free zone entity replaces steps two and three with the zone authority’s own approval. Each authority decides its own timing and outcome.
Three candidate trade names, in Arabic and English — checked first against the rules on descriptive words and names implying a government connection.
Your activity mapped to the ISIC4 codes Oman registers against. This decides whether 100% ownership applies, and whether a sector approval is needed.
Shareholders, shares, management and signing authority — drafted in Arabic and signed by all shareholders or their attorney.
Filed on the government’s Invest Easy portal, which issues the commercial registration number. That number is the company.
At the grade your activity and capital require. Without it the CR cannot be used for most transactions.
Tax registration, then the corporate account. Banks decide their own cases — we prepare the pack that shortens it.
The investor residence card for shareholders, and labour clearances if you intend to employ. Both sit on a live CR.
Ask one question, of us or of anybody else offering this: which activity code will my company be registered under? That code decides whether 100% foreign ownership applies and whether a sector approval is needed. A quote that cannot answer it is a guess — and a structure chosen on a guess is expensive to undo.
Not a matter of price. It is a question of who your customers are.
Government tenders included, which free zone entities generally cannot bid for directly.
Between you and the domestic market. Corporate tax applies at the standard rate from the first year.
Apply once you employ, and vary by sector.
Sohar, Salalah, Al Mazunah and Duqm, each with its own sectors, incentives and authority.
And customs exemptions, on terms set by the zone rather than nationally.
Re-export, manufacturing and logistics. Selling into the mainland normally means a distributor, or duty.

For most activities, yes. The Foreign Capital Investment Law opened the great majority of commercial activities to full foreign ownership and removed the old requirement for an Omani partner. There is a restricted list where it does not apply, and some sectors carry their own approvals. Which side of that line your activity sits on is settled at step two, and it is the first thing we check.
For most activities there is no statutory minimum to register an LLC or an SPC. Certain sectors set their own requirements, and a bank or a tender may expect more than the legal floor. We confirm the figure for your activity before you commit.
Not for the whole process. Much of the filing is done on the Invest Easy portal, and a power of attorney lets us sign and file for you. Opening the bank account is the step most likely to need you in person.
Two separate numbers. Government and authority charges are set by the ministry, the chamber and, for a free zone, the zone authority, and are paid to them. Our fee is for the consultancy and document preparation. You get both, itemised, in writing before any work begins.
It depends on the structure, the activity and whether a sector approval is needed. A branch takes longer, because the parent’s documents must be attested and legalised first. Each authority decides its own timing, so we give you an estimate for your case rather than a promise.
No, and no consultant honestly can. Registrations, licences and visas are issued solely by the Omani authorities. We prepare the file so it is decided on its merits rather than returned on a formality.
One line about what the company will do and where you are based is enough to get back the structure, the approvals it needs and the cost in writing.
