National Finance Strengthens Oman’s Business Landscape with Diverse SME-Focused Financing

National Finance has once again underlined its push to back businesses across Oman, rolling out a broad mix of corporate financing tools that aim to keep companies moving, no matter their stage or size. It’s the sort of steady, practical support that tends to fly under the radar, yet makes a real difference on the ground — and, as anyone at Arageek will tell you, this kind of backbone financing often separates a thriving startup from one that’s constantly firefighting.

The company’s range covers everything from vehicle and equipment finance to working capital facilities, sale-and-leaseback options, warehouse finance and even corporate fixed deposits. On the flip side, what really stood out to me was the clear emphasis on SME financing. In a region where smaller businesses sometimes struggle to secure flexible credit, having a lender step in with tailored products can feel like a lifeline. I reckon many entrepreneurs will be chuffed to bits to see this sort of attention being paid to homegrown enterprises.

National Finance has also taken a swing at sustainability-linked financing — and believe it or not, that’s becoming a bit less of a faff for companies thanks to solutions tied to electric vehicles, solar installations and energy‑efficiency upgrades. These are designed not just to tick ESG boxes but to actually cut costs and help businesses future‑proof their operations. The firm has even secured funding from the International Finance Corporation, which suggests there’s plenty of confidence in its ability to scale projects with social and environmental impact.

Speaking about this broader commitment, CEO Tariq Sulaiman Al Faris noted that the goal is to offer financing “that responds to customers’ evolving needs while creating real impact,” highlighting how the company continues to develop solutions for businesses of all sizes. His point about customer experience being a differentiator was spot on — in finance, that personal guidance can make or break a deal.

With 24 branches spread across Oman, backed by digital tools like a mobile app, website and self‑service kiosks, National Finance seems intent on meeting clients wherever they are. And that said, what I’ve seen over the years in the entrepreneurship space is that accessibility often matters just as much as the money itself. One budding founder once told me that simply having a lender pick up the phone without passing him from one department to another saved his startup — a small detail, but a hefty reminder of why these services count.

All in all, the company’s mix of personalised advisory and flexible financing continues to anchor its reputation as a trusted partner for businesses across the Sultanate. And, well… I mean, if their expansion continues at this pace, it’s hard not to feel they’re definatly positioning themselves as a key player in Oman’s economic growth story.
