WhatsApp quoteGoldenKey helps UAE residents and international founders register a Limited Liability Company or SPC in Oman through the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion (Invest Easy). Many of our clients add an Oman entity to their UAE structure because Oman is a natural second GCC base for UAE companies serving the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean. Import & Export in Oman means importing goods into the UAE and exporting or re-exporting them to regional and global markets, and it is licensed as a commercial activity. Day to day, typical examples of this activity include food re-export, auto parts, textiles and machinery, which can usually sit together on one Oman licence.
Why Oman
Reasons founders choose Oman include stable, low-cost gcc jurisdiction, land border and short flight from the uae, free zones at sohar, salalah and duqm and growing logistics and tourism sectors. Day to day, requirements for an Oman company are 100% foreign ownership allowed in most sectors, one shareholder and one manager and registered address and Chamber of Commerce membership. For import & export, Oman offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.

The dirham has been pegged to the US dollar since 1997, which removes currency risk for import & export in Oman and makes international pricing simple.
