Dear ..
Trade is not difficult in Amman, but in the laws and conditions that must be followed, especially in the construction field.
And also depends on whether you want to be the company under your name or be with Omani partner. Because there are different laws.
if you have any more question you can ask .

Muscat is good place for business but you will face tough competition here.
If you go some remote sides then your will loose sales volume so its upto you. if you are ready to face competition (if you trust your product/qlty) then go for Muscat as your business place. Make sure be clear about the nature of company, it can be LLC (where u can be partner) or below llc (establishment) where everything will be under your local sponsor's name

Hi ammadkazmi,

The first advice to you is, please read the many other posts on the same subject in the forum to even understand the basic eligibility criteria for opening any business in Oman - small or big.

Oman does not permit expatriates to be the sole owners of businesses.

There has to be a local (Omani) major shareholder involved.

Get all the details, already available in the forum please.

Hi Imran - Old post but for anyone interested still - I registered a business in Muscat recently. I am a US citizen so did not require a sponsor. To begin the process, I went to the Ministry of Commerce and filled out some paperwork, went to the senate for typing / document prep as required, then paid the registration fees about 70 OMR total. I had to go back to the U.S. so did not finish the residence process - which can be done within a day and costs about 300 OMR with a business license. Hope this helps anyone looking to invest in Oman. Feel free to ping me if you require additional info!

it depends on the area you choose and your expertise. in this budget CR and your visa is possible but double check omanization quota requirments and employee visas expenses. besides this restaurant license need alot of approvals from muncipality so keep that in mind as well.
