Starting a Business in Oman – A Legal Checklist for Entrepreneurs

Learn the legal steps to launch a company in Oman, from registration to licensing and compliance.


Oman offers great opportunities for entrepreneurs, but starting a business here requires understanding the legal requirements:

  • Choose the Right Business Type: Oman recognizes LLCs, sole proprietorships, joint-stock companies, and more — each with different legal obligations.
  • Register with MOCIIP: The Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Investment Promotion handles all business registrations.
  • Comply with Labor & Visa Laws: New businesses must follow Omanization quotas and ensure compliance with labor regulations.

Mistakes in the setup process can cost time and money. Our legal team can assist with proper company formation and ongoing compliance.
