Dutch term or phrase: B.H.R. / BHR

Tussen de gegevens van een bedrijf (contact- en bankgegevens) komt de afkorting B.H.R. voor, gevolgd door een nummer van 6 cijfers. Waarvoor staat BHR en wat is de Engelse term?
Bedankt!

X Trade Register

Explanation:
X would be the name of the city where the company is registered (starting with B). HR = Handelsregister, which also translates as Commercial Register.

If it's a Belgian company, this may be a possibility. They may have made a slight error, making it BHR instead of HRB. This site uses the latter to refer to the Brussel Handelsregister (or Handelsregister van Brussel) (followed by six digits):

BELGIE
Rechtsvorm: naamloze vennootschap, Sopra Benelux N.V.
Maatschappelijke zetel: Louizalaan 326 b.29, BE-1050 Brussel
Handelsregister: HRB 359.665

B could also stand for Brugge (Bruges) of course.

BHR

Explanation:
Moeilijk te zeggen zonder verdere context, maar kan het niet samen met de 6 cijfers de BIC-code van de bank zijn (identieficatiecode bank). In dat geval vertaal je het uiteraard niet.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)

agree

Andre de Vries: or Belgisch Handelsregister - this makes more sense than Bahrain

43 mins

-> Thanks! Ah yes, of course, that's a likely option, in which case it would be Belgian Trade (or: Commercial) Register. This number does seem to have six digits.

agree

writeaway: as usual, it's not mentioned right away that the text is Belgian so everyone takes off for parts unknown. Each country has its particularities and if one isn't aware of them, then the fun really starts...../can't be Belgian-there is no such thing

1 hr

-> thanks!

neutral

Stefan de Boeck: this mistake would not be made, ever. HRB/RCB (handelsregister/registre commercial) Brussel.

2 hrs

-> possibly, but it's a realistic possibility that the B stands for Belgisch, as pointed out above

1 hr confidence:

Bahrein

Explanation:
Zou kunnen.
