Business.hr is a Croatian daily business newspaper
and website based in Zagreb
. The newspaper is published in compact format
and was originally launched as a business weekly in late 2005, before becoming a daily newspaper in March 2008.

, the paper also runs the business.hr website, which re-published feature articles from the print edition, along with short current news items and a full overview of daily stock market indices

The paper was founded by the Swedish Bonnier Group, a media group present in 21 countries, which also owns the Slovenian business daily Finance
