Hi Afnanaaa17,

Please visit the Sultanate of Oman's Ministry of Commerce and Industry website for all details.

You could also do a site search using relevant keywords here. There have been many discussions on this forum regarding the same subject which would be of use to you too.

Hello
Recently i spoke whit an entrepreneurs consultant agency.
This are my conclusions

1. There are several types of business speaking about the budget (A+, A, B, C)
2. An expat never will be the owner of B or C business
3. A+ or A business can be owned by an expat, the budget will be more than 100.000 OMR
4. Small business always belongs to omani citizens in the legal papers, but there is a common situation when the citizen allow their name and ask monthly payment for that, common doesn't mean legal, the risk is up tu you. All the problems are around the corner and you'll never deserve any legal rights.
