Company registration in Oman runs through a single commercial registration system, but the activity you choose determines the approvals, capital and licences that follow.
Settle the activity and structure
The activity code drives everything downstream: minimum capital, sector approvals, permitted ownership and licensing.
- Confirm whether your activity needs a sector regulator approval.
- Check ownership rules for the activity you selected.
- Decide on the legal form before drafting the constitution.
Incorporate and register
Name reservation, constitutive contract, commercial registration and chamber of commerce membership are the core filings.
Municipality and sector licences
A commercial registration alone is not permission to trade. Municipality licensing and any sector permit are separate steps tied to your premises and activity.
Employment and tax files
Register with the tax authority and the labour and social insurance systems before you hire.
