An aspiring businessman, he operated his first commercial business in Bahrain at the age of 19. By the 1920s he had established a successful trading entity in the Kingdom of Bahrain. His successes were followed by investments in real estate, and in 1959 to the construction of the tallest building of its time in Al Khobar in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
