BSX · Black Sea Exchange

An online B2B platform for companies trading commodities.

BSX is an online B2B platform where verified companies can find each other, publish offers and buying requests, negotiate, and coordinate commodity transactions. We begin with cereals in Romania.

02 · What is BSX?

One platform for companies that buy and sell commodities.

BSX brings buyers and sellers into one trusted online platform. Companies can find relevant opportunities, make proposals, negotiate terms, and organise an agreed transaction.

01

Verified companies

A company joins BSX and completes verification before entering the market.

02

Offers and requests

Sellers publish what they have. Buyers publish what they need.

03

Transactions organised

After agreement, the deal moves into one place where the parties coordinate the work.

04 · The transaction

From company verification to a completed transaction.

The basic process is simple. The parties find each other, negotiate, agree, and then organise that specific deal in a Deal Room.

The Deal Room

The Deal Room

The Deal Room is the place where one agreed transaction is organised. When needed, logistics companies, insurance providers, inspectors, banks, or other financial institutions can participate through the appropriate process.

  • Agreed terms
  • Participants
  • Documents
  • Steps and deadlines
  • Logistics
  • Inspection
  • Insurance
  • Payment coordination
  • Notifications
  • Status and history

05 · Human-assisted model

Technology organises the process. People remain involved.

The early version of BSX is intentionally human-assisted. BSX staff can support the parts that need judgement, communication, or exception handling.

We are not trying to automate everything from day one.

  • Verification
  • Matching
  • Coordination
  • Document checks
  • Communication
  • Exceptions
  • Complicated transaction steps

06 · Where we start

BSX launches with cereals in Romania.

Romania is the first launch market and cereals are the first product focus. This gives BSX a defined starting point for onboarding verified buyers and sellers, testing the operating process, and building trading activity.

07 · First expansion

From Romania into the Black Sea region.

Shortly after launching the cereal platform in Romania, BSX intends to expand the same model into four additional countries.

RomaniaCurrentUkrainePlannedMoldovaPlannedBulgariaPlannedGeorgiaPlanned

These are the first planned countries after Romania. Launch timing depends on implementation and local requirements.

08 · Then Europe

Poland is the first important step into Europe.

After the cereal platform is established in Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria, and Georgia, BSX intends to expand further into Europe, beginning with Poland.

Poland
  1. 01Extends the BSX company network into Europe
  2. 02Creates a route toward the Ukraine reconstruction opportunity

09 · Poland and Ukraine reconstruction

Connect companies that have materials with companies that need them.

Through Poland, BSX intends to pursue access to the Bridge project or initiative connected with rebuilding Ukraine. BSX can provide the platform that connects suppliers with buyers and contractors.

  1. 01Suppliers and manufacturersCompanies producing required goods
  2. 02BSXCompany matching and transaction coordination
  3. 03Buyers and contractorsCompanies and organisations purchasing materials
  4. 04Reconstruction of UkraineGoods reach reconstruction projects

Possible goods include

  • Construction materials
  • Building products
  • Industrial materials
  • Other necessary goods

Access to this opportunity would be pursued through Poland and would depend on future agreements and project requirements.

10 · Beyond cereals

Start with cereals. Add more commodities as the platform grows.

Over approximately two years, BSX is intended to grow from a cereal platform toward the broader range of commodities relevant to Black Sea trade.

  1. 01CerealsFirst product focus
  2. 02More commoditiesAdded after the cereal market is established
  3. 03Broader Black Sea tradeLonger-term platform scope

The next commodity categories will be selected after the cereal market is established.

11 · The bigger goal

Build the BSX platform first. Create BSX Stock later.

BSX Stock is the stock market or exchange planned for a later stage. BSX first builds the online platform and gathers real companies and real physical trading activity in one place.

  1. 01Build BSX platform
  2. 02Companies join
  3. 03Buyers and sellers trade
  4. 04More of the market gathers inside BSX
  5. 05BSX Stock can be created

BSX Stock may later support

  • Futures
  • Hedging
  • Other exchange products

BSX Stock is a future proposal. Its legal structure, regulatory path, products, and launch conditions must be defined separately.

12 · The investment ask

14 · What the investor gets

The proposal gives investors 65% of BSX Stock.

The proposal is that investors fund the BSX platform, helping it gather companies and trading activity. Once the base exists and BSX Stock can be created, the proposed ownership is split between the investors and BSX.

The proposed 65% does not refer to the current BSX platform or company. It refers only to the planned BSX Stock. Exact ownership rights, governance, and legal documents must be defined separately.

15 · Proposed timeline and repayment

Build for approximately 28 months, then begin repayment.

The proposed arrangement combines the implementation period, repayment of the €20 million investment, and continued investor ownership of 65% of BSX Stock.

  1. 01

    Investment

    Investors provide the proposed €20 million.

  2. 02

    Approximately 28 months

    BSX builds, implements, launches, and begins expanding the platform.

    Repayment begins

    After the approximately 28-month implementation period, repayment of the investment begins.

  4. 04

    Approximately three years

    The intended repayment period is approximately three years.

  5. 05

    65% retained

    Investors retain the proposed 65% ownership of BSX Stock.

The exact legal form of the investment and repayment arrangement will be defined and documented separately.
