Company Formation in Oman
Entity formation, authority liaison, and structure coordination, from first document to handover. We work with LLCs, SAOCs, branch offices, and SPV structures.
Formation and authority liaison
Monjiz coordinates entity formation through the Oman Business Platform, managing document preparation, authority liaison, and the handover checklist to your post-registration phase. We work with LLCs, SAOCs, branch offices, and SPV structures. Registration fees and notary costs are passed through at cost, with no hidden markups on government fees.
Most formation mandates proceed by proposal. For complex structures, branch offices, holdcos, multi-entity setups, a short scoping conversation first is standard.
Registration is the beginning of the process, not the end of it. A company with a Commercial Register number and nothing else is not operational.

Can a foreign national own 100% of an Oman company?
Yes. Foreign investors can own 100% of a company in most commercial sectors in Oman under the Foreign Capital Investment Law. Certain regulated sectors have specific ownership requirements. Monjiz confirms the applicable ownership rules at proposal stage based on your sector and structure.
How long does company formation take in Oman?
A standard LLC typically takes 4-8 weeks from document readiness through to CR issuance. Branch office setups typically take 6-10 weeks. Timeline varies by structure complexity, documentation status, and authority processing times. Monjiz confirms your specific timeline at proposal stage.
What is the minimum capital requirement for an Oman LLC?
The minimum capital requirement varies by sector, activity, and company structure. For most commercial LLCs, a minimum of OMR 150 is prescribed, though practical and banking requirements often mean higher capitalisation is advisable. Requirements are confirmed at proposal stage.
What documents do I need to register a company in Oman?
Typically: shareholder passports (apostilled where required), constitutional documents, proof of address, board resolutions for corporate shareholders, and a power of attorney if shareholders are abroad. The full list is confirmed at proposal stage based on your structure and shareholder profile.
Are government registration fees included in the Monjiz fee?
No. Government registration fees, notary costs, and official charges are passed through at cost with full transparency. They are not marked up. A complete cost breakdown including all anticipated government fees is provided at proposal stage.
What is the difference between an LLC and a branch office in Oman?
An LLC is a locally incorporated entity with its own legal personality separate from its shareholders. A branch office is an extension of the foreign parent company with no separate legal personality, meaning the parent remains directly liable for branch obligations. The right structure depends on your purpose, sector, and liability preferences. Monjiz advises on structure at proposal stage.
