Register your Omani company in 10–15 days. Get your investor visa in 15–20 days. We handle every step — from commercial registration to corporate bank account opening.
Why Set Up a Business in Oman?
Oman sits at the crossroads of Asia, Africa, and Europe. It offers 100% foreign ownership, low taxes, and a stable government — making it one of the smartest places in the Gulf to start a company.
100% Foreign Ownership
Own your company fully. No Omani partner or sponsor required on the mainland or in free zones. Entrepreneurs from Iran, Germany, the UK, France, and India register companies in Oman every week.
Low Tax Environment
Corporate tax is just 3% for companies earning under OMR 100,000 per year. Above that threshold, the rate is 15%. Exports carry zero VAT. There is no personal income tax in Oman.
Strategic Location
Direct shipping routes to the Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean, and East Africa. Oman's ports handle cargo moving between Iran, India, China, and Europe efficiently.
Fast Registration
Company formation takes 3–7 working days. You do not need to be in Oman to register. The entire process is handled remotely through the MoCIIP portal.
Corporate Bank Account
We open your OMR corporate bank account at Sohar Bank, Dhofar Bank, or National Bank of Oman. Every formation package includes bank account opening.
Investor & Work Visas
Get your investor visa in 15–20 days. Sponsor your family for residency. Hire foreign employees with straightforward work permits.

We have helped entrepreneurs from over 40 countries establish companies in Oman. Here are some of the most common backgrounds:
Iranian Entrepreneurs
Many of our clients come from Iran. Oman's proximity, direct flights from Tehran and Isfahan, and Oman's open trade relationship with Iran make it a natural choice. Iranian business owners set up trading, consulting, and logistics companies here regularly.
European Investors
Entrepreneurs from Germany, France, the UK, the Netherlands, and Italy use Oman as a gateway to Gulf markets. With 100% foreign ownership and no personal income tax, Oman offers advantages that many European jurisdictions do not.
Indian & Pakistani Professionals
Business owners and freelancers from India and Pakistan form the largest expat community in Oman. Many start import-export, IT services, or construction companies.
GCC-Based Entrepreneurs
Business owners already operating in Dubai, Bahrain, or Saudi Arabia expand to Oman for its lower costs, less competition, and growing domestic market. Oman's Sohar Free Zone is especially popular for manufacturing and logistics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Since Oman introduced the Foreign Capital Investment Law (FCIL) in 2020, foreign investors can hold 100% ownership in most business sectors. This applies on the mainland and in free zones like Sohar Free Zone. No local sponsor is required.

Companies earning below OMR 100,000 annually pay 3% corporate tax. Above that, the rate is 15%. Exports are zero-rated for VAT. There is no personal income tax in Oman. Read more about Oman's tax system.

It depends on your goals. Oman offers lower formation costs (from OMR 500 vs. AED 15,000+ in Dubai), no Omanization requirement in year one, and a less saturated market. Dubai has a larger economy and more free zones. Many entrepreneurs register in both.
