Stage 1

Leave a request for a consultation to select the legal form and jurisdiction

Our lawyer will contact you, discuss your business goals and answer your questions. Based on the information received, we will analyze your request and select the most effective business model for you and the appropriate free zone or Mainland. The choice depends on the type of activity and business goals.

​

Stage 2

Check the availability of the company name and its validity

A lawyer will submit a request for the possibility of registering a company with the chosen name and will make sure that the name does not violate cultural norms and does not contain prohibited words (for example, “Islamic bank” without a license).

​

Stage 3

Prepare constituent documents and rent an office

Lawyers help with the preparation and certification of the Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, which regulate the company's activities. To register a company, you need to rent an office. Depending on the goals, this can be a place in a coworking space, a separate room, or even a production site.

Stage 4

Register your company with MOCI and obtain a license

Lawyers submit an application and documents to MOCI to obtain a commercial license. Once the application is approved, MOCI issues a commercial license, which must be submitted to the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry. For some activities (medicine, construction, finance), additional permits from relevant ministries will also be required.
