The British Business Forum in the Sultanate of Oman was established over twenty years ago as a group for business people with the objective of exchanging views and opinions about existing and potential business opportunities in the Sultanate and how best to promote trade between the United Kingdom and Oman.
Each month BBF host an event in association with the UK Trade & Investment section of the British Embassy. The BBF in Oman is always pleased to welcome new members and associates to events which are well attended, invariably informative and always enjoyable. Companies may also wish discuss sponsoring a BBF meeting which are usually held on the first Sunday of every month. This is an excellent way to promote your services within the British community.
Oman can be a great place to do business poised as it is at the entrance to the Gulf and at the center of East-West trade routes, ensuring easy access to markets in the Middle East, India, South East Asia, Africa and Europe. Membership of various regional associations has further smoothed trade routes. It is a country with natural competitive advantages like abundant supply of energy, relative low labor costs, and inexpensive long-term use of land for industrial purposes.
