How buying a business through Gateway to Oman actually works.

Short version: we screen the sellers, you pay a one-time fee to see the real numbers, we hand you off directly to the seller, and we stay available for the structuring questions that come up later. No retainer, no commission, no broker chain.

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.
