Who we are,in short.

What is BGI?

Does BGI buy, sell or own the goods?

No. BGI does not take title to the goods: they pass directly from supplier to buyer under the contract the two sides sign with each other. We have no stock to clear, so our only interest is a deal that works for both sides.

From requestto signed contract.

How do I send a request?

Use the form on our Contact page, or write to us on WhatsApp (+971 52 662 1066), Telegram or email (Admin@BGIBrokers.com). Tell us whether you are buying or supplying.

What should my request include?

For a purchase, include the product and grade (or the standard it must meet), the key specifications, the quantity and whether it is a single lot or regular supply, the packing, the destination port or delivery point with your preferred Incoterm, and your payment preference. Suppliers should describe their products, specifications, capacity and the markets they want to reach.

Is it free to ask?

Yes. Sending a request is free and carries no obligation. Nothing is binding until terms are agreed and signed in writing.

How is my information kept confidential?

Nothing about a supplier or buyer is shared with the other side before a non-disclosure and non-circumvention agreement (NCNDA) is signed. The names, prices and terms of the companies in a deal are never published. See our Privacy notice.

How do you check the other side?

Every supplier and buyer is checked against international sanctions lists, and we confirm who each company is, before any introduction. These are our own compliance steps: they support each party's own due diligence and do not replace it.

Is there independent inspection?

Yes, where the goods require it. Quality and quantity are confirmed at loading by an independent inspection company, and inspection is one of the terms agreed in writing before anything is binding.

Do you work with both suppliers and buyers?

Yes. Suppliers such as mines, smelters, mills, factories, collectors and recyclers meet screened buyers in new markets without their name being circulated. Buyers such as importers, distributors, manufacturers, converters, refiners and fleets are introduced to screened suppliers that match their specification. See For suppliers and For buyers.
