Oman LLC Local Entity

All local companies are required to have i) two shareholders and one director (who can be the same persons) ii) a minimum paid up capital of OR150,000 (Approx.US$390,000) and iii) a local address. Of the two required shareholders, one must be a national of Oman, of a GCC State or of the USA and must own 30% of the company’s shares;
Since the signature of the 2009 Free Trade Agreement with the USA, American citizens are treated as local citizens and are therefore allowed to form local companies without a local partner, provided that all of the shareholders are American. For such cases, the minimum share capital is set at only OMR20,000 (Approx. US$52,000) and is not required to be paid up;
