Start your company in Oman with GlobelZone. We help entrepreneurs and investors with company registration, Commercial Registration (CR), Chamber Certificate, Investment License, Tax Card, investor visa, resident card, and bank account assistance.
GlobelZone supports entrepreneurs, investors, and growing companies with LLC and SPC company formation in Oman. Our role is to make the process easier to understand and easier to complete — from choosing the right company structure and activity to Commercial Registration, Chamber of Commerce registration, licensing, tax card, investor visa, and resident card assistance.
Both LLC and SPC structures can be suitable for foreign investors, depending on the ownership plan, management structure, and selected business activities. The main practical difference is the number of owners or directors involved.
An LLC is commonly used when there is more than one owner or director involved in the business. It is suitable for partners, joint ventures, and businesses that need a shared ownership or management structure.
An SPC, or Sole Proprietor Company, is designed for one owner. It is suitable when a single investor wants to own and manage the company without adding another director or partner. In many practical steps, the setup process is similar to an LLC.
The best structure depends on your ownership plan, nationality, business activity, and future expansion goals. Our business service agent reviews your requirements before recommending the most suitable option.
Our process is simple and guided. You can complete the onboarding online or work directly with a GlobelZone business service agent. We first understand your requirements, then guide the name, activity, registration, licensing, and visa steps.
We review your business plan, ownership structure, preferred activity, nationality, and required documents before starting the setup.
We guide you on business name rules, Arabic translation requirements, and suitable activities. Some activities may be restricted or reserved for Omanis, and we inform you in advance when this applies.
After confirmation, we begin the KYC process with the Ministry of Commerce, prepare the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and submit the Commercial Registration application. This stage usually takes 1 to 3 business days after documents are ready.
We assist with Chamber of Commerce registration, activity or municipal license guidance, investment license support, and tax card application. These stages are normally completed step by step after CR approval.
Once the company setup steps are complete, we begin the visa stage. We assist with work permit approval, business visa processing, medical guidance where required, and resident card file preparation after arrival in Oman.
Simple, guided, and transparent — we help you register, obtain licenses, and complete visa steps with expert support.
Commercial Registration issued after formation — valid for 3 years.
Renewable resident card with your designation (e.g., Business Partner).
No local partner required — full ownership with the right structure.
