Ahmed Al Mashini after completing his education in travel and tourism, started Travel Angels Ltd. along with his brother Said Al Mashini. Their company seeks to provide travel solutions to its clients like ticket booking for airways, hotel booking etc. in Oman. Although the business is doing well both of them have realised that they are not good in managing finance, and feel confused and frustrated sometimes due to financial crises that may suddenly arise. In order to avoid such situations in the future, they hire Amina as financial manager, who have done a bachelor degree course in financial management.

Considering the fact that the there is a growing trend among the people to spend more of their disposable income on travel, the company had decided to expand their travel business. An initial public offer of equity shares was raised in order to get the desired capital. The issue was fully subscribed and paid. Over the years, the sales and profits of the company have increased tremendously and it has been declaring dividends and the market price of its shares has increased manifolds.
