Common questions

What does the subscriber fee actually pay for?+
Full marketplace access, one advisory call with our team to scope your search, the pre-purchase document checklist tailored to your target sector, and email updates as new listings match your criteria. It's a one-time fee — no subscription, no recurring charge.
Can a foreigner own a business in Oman?+
In most sectors, yes — 100% foreign ownership has been allowed since 2019. Some sectors (defence, certain media, a few licensed activities) still require a local partner. We'll flag which category any listing you're interested in falls into before you go too far.
What about residency / investor visa?+
Buying a business above certain thresholds qualifies you for an investor visa. Real estate ITCs (investment property) also carry a residency pathway. We can walk you through which path fits your situation during the advisory call.
What if I want to list my business?+
The self-service seller portal is being built (target Phase 2). For now, if you'd like to list a business directly, our team will handle it — see the List your business page or message us on WhatsApp.
