After the graduation from National Economics University, although was received to work in a State-owned trading enterprise at the local province, but after that he decided to give up the job and intended to start up own business. In 2003, he chose HCMC to set himself in business and made a bundle of clothes to set off with only VND 6.5 million in his pocket. Bringing along with many ambition and indulgency in business, one year later he together with other shareholders founded the first enterprise in security field. As the founder and CEO of business of the Company, he together with his colleagues turned this enterprise into one of 10 largest security companies of Vietnam at that time.

But in 2008, in the context of the global economic crisis, domestic enterprises was facing with fierce elimination and competition, his enterprise also fell into crisis and was forced to choose M & A (mergers and acquisitions) option to survive and grow. For the entrepreneur Ngo Bang Long, M & A story was a silent interval with a lot of sad aftertaste. But then, with thought, “This door is closed, another door shall be opened,” he decided to resell the whole shares of this company to shake hands with three other shareholders to Binh An Security Service Joint Stock Company (BAS) in 2008.

Reason for naming “Binh An” for his enterprise, was shared by him: “In the childhood, at each power cut night, my all family gathered on the yard to get some fresh air, my father often told about his 20-year memories in the South-North battlefield. My father often told about two letter “Binh An”. This imprinted in my mind and perhaps it was a reason to lead me to this business field and I named “Binh An” for my enterprise. During the times of struggling in the market, regardless of any difficult circumstance I have been also unanimous that how to make our customers, partners feel a safety and soundness  “Binh An” when using our services”.
