Common questions
Can a foreigner fully own a company in Oman?
In most activities, yes. The Foreign Capital Investment Law (Royal Decree 50/2019) allows full foreign ownership without an Omani partner, except for activities on the official restricted (negative) list. We check your activity against the current list before you start.
How long does company registration take?
It depends on the entity type, the business activity and any approvals it needs. After a first consultation we give you a timeline for your specific case.
Is there a minimum capital requirement?
Capital expectations depend on the entity type and business activity. We confirm the current requirement for your activity with the relevant authority before you apply.
LLC, SPC, branch or free zone: which one fits?
It depends on who owns the business, what it does and where its customers are. Free zones follow their own rules, which our free zones guide explains. Tell us your plan and we compare the options for your activity.
Can you help with the bank account?
We assist with the application and the paperwork. The bank makes the final decision on opening an account.
Do I need to be physically present in Oman?
Not necessarily. We can handle most of the process remotely with a power of attorney. You may need to visit for bank account opening.
