Business Connection was initially founded by our Chairman Dr M Nahid in 2005 as a sole proprietorship in the historic city of Delft, the Netherlands. As the company evolved, it transitioned into a private limited company in 2009, Business Connection BV, and has since grown to a multifaceted global organization with operations in the Netherlands, Hong Kong, China, and Bangladesh.

With a strong focus on collaboration, joint ventures, and fully owned subsidiaries, we have built a solid foundation for sustainable growth and success. With an annual turnover exceeding USD 88 million, a dedicated team of over 100 professionals, and operational hubs across the Netherlands, Hong Kong, China, and Bangladesh, we have established a solid global presence.

In 2014, business growth led to the formation of RR Business Holding BV. From 2017 to 2020, the group further expanded internationally with the establishment of RR Commodities (HK) Limited in Hong Kong, Business Connection China in mainland China, and Bizcon Services BV in the Netherlands. Presently, the group comprises eight registered companies across Asia and Europe.

At Business Connection BV, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored solutions and fostering long-term relationships with our partners. Our commitment to integrity, innovation, and growth continues to drive our success as a trusted global player in the international trading and financial services sector.
