Brokerage of refined petroleum products, copper and steel

A Dubai-licensed commercial brokerage. We match suppliers with business buyers, check both sides, and document every deal from first enquiry to final settlement, while the cargo travels straight from seller to buyer.

About us

We connect suppliers and buyers of petroleum products and metals, and document every deal from enquiry to settlement.

Royal Bilal Commercial Brokers Co. is a commercial brokerage based in Port Saeed, Deira, licensed by Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism since September 2023. We bring together suppliers and private business buyers of refined petroleum products, copper and steel, and we earn a commission on each deal we arrange.

Our role is deliberately narrow. Sellers ship directly to buyers on CFR, CIF or DAP terms, and we never take ownership of the cargo. What we provide is the introduction, the checks on both parties, a written agreement, and a complete set of documents that shows how each deal was done.

That makes us a small, focused firm: a team of three to five people working from one Dubai office, with every deal traceable from the first enquiry to the final bank transfer.

What we broker

How a deal works

Every deal follows the same five steps, so both parties, and their banks, always know what happens next.

  1. Step 1: Enquiry and matching

    A buyer or seller tells us the product, grade, quantity, destination and preferred terms. We find a counterparty whose offer fits and introduce the two sides.

  2. Step 2: Checks on both sides

    Before anything is signed, we identify each party and screen it against sanctions lists. A party that does not pass goes no further.

  3. Step 3: Signed brokerage agreement

    Our role, our commission and who pays it are written into a brokerage agreement, signed before the goods move.

  4. Step 4: Seller ships direct to buyer

    The cargo travels from seller to buyer on CFR, CIF or DAP terms. We coordinate the shipping documents between them.

  5. Step 5: Payment and commission

    The buyer pays by bank transfer. Our commission is paid by the seller, or shared between the parties as agreed.

We never take ownership of the goods.

Title passes directly from seller to buyer. We arrange, check and document the trade, but the cargo is never ours to hold or resell.

How money moves

Payments follow the paper trail. When both parties ask us to, we receive the buyer’s payment and pass it to the seller, less our commission. Otherwise the buyer pays the seller directly.
