Oman's M&A market is underserved by specialist advisors. Most GCC-focused firms treat Oman as a secondary market and rarely have the specific knowledge needed to run a competitive Omani sale process: Omanisation staffing cost analysis, CIT normalisation, VAT treatment differences from UAE, and the specific dynamics of OIA's role as both privatiser and potential acquirer.
We bring the full rigour of a Big Four transaction practice to Omani mid-market deals, with the UAE proximity that is essential for buyer access. The majority of serious acquirers for Omani businesses are UAE-based or GCC-headquartered.
"Oman's Vision 2040 diversification is creating a decade of M&A opportunity across tourism, healthcare, and logistics. Omani business owners deserve the same level of advisory rigour as their UAE counterparts."

Oman's Vision 2040 diversification is creating structured M&A opportunities across tourism, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and fisheries, supported by OIA's privatisation program and GCC cross-border capital flows.
Vision 2040 privatisation is the most significant institutional driver: OIA is actively privatising government-owned assets across utilities, logistics, and industrial sectors. For UAE acquirers, Oman's port infrastructure, Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah, represents attractive logistics integration targets.
Tourism is the second driver, private tourism assets are attracting growing institutional interest as Oman establishes itself as a premium GCC destination, creating a new acquisition category for GCC hospitality groups.
Family business succession is the third driver, Oman's founding business families in construction, trading, and logistics are navigating generational transitions, with UAE family offices among the most active buyers of Omani family business assets.

Oman M&A involves a distinct tax, regulatory, and structural environment. These are the issues that shape every transaction.
Many clients considering a sale or acquisition also require an independent business valuation before going to market. We provide dedicated valuation services on a separate page.
If you need an independent, IVS-compliant business valuation for an Omani company, for M&A, CMA Oman regulatory purposes, family succession, shareholder disputes, or IFRS financial reporting, our dedicated page covers all valuation types, methodology, pricing, and turnaround times.
Pre-sale valuation is included as part of our sell-side mandate. Standalone valuation reports are available separately from OMR 1,000, typical turnaround 5–10 business days.
A structured five-step process that protects confidentiality, creates competitive tension, and maximises value for Omani business owners.
