why most businesses fail in Oman..

Its no wonder businesses in Oman take such a long time to surface because of the 'legal' procedures that one has to take to ensure that thier business is up and running as it should be. Hence the typical business statement "80% of all new businesses are doomed to fail within the first three months".

From getting a bunch of autographs where one has to obtain a signature of some Minister in some place high up and that takes a certain 'kiss ass' procedure that one must train themself to so they can get the proper effect (i.e.: would your nightmareness like his ass kissed more?)

And from then on there it is off to the proper authorities who show no sign of approval once confronted with the business matter and tell you to come back when they call, which is most probably when Hell freezes over unless you know an insider who can offer to finish it for you within a glimpse of that period for a small 'tiny' fee.

And when all is said and done, your business has probably gone off the chart you predicted in the first place and thus you lost your opportunity.

I mean, come off it, you have to pay as much a redicilous amount to have your own advertisement banner on the inner street. And who does the money go to? I wish I could say to charity, but it goes to a bunch of slobs who do nothing better than sit at a round table disucssing movie magic and eccentric analyzations of their work colleagues.

The development cycle of an economy must be applied to both the public and private sector, equally, may I add, too.

Unforunately, this is not the scene in Oman.
