Bartering Evolves into Trade Exchange Financial Service Centers

Written by kathy on August 5, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Businesses and individuals are participating in barter transactions more than ever before. Barter Companies and Barter Clubs have been in existence for many years. Barter exchanges are starting to evolve into more sophisticated and professional centers of financial services. Professional Financial Service Trade Exchanges are a must in today’s social media driven, high tech and financially troubled world. They offer business owners and consumers an alternative to transacting business and buying and selling merchandise. In many cases these financial service centers can offer credit lines on loans based on a Business owners capacity or available inventory. These professionals look at your business from every angle and create a plan for success in profits and growth.

Global and Community Trade Exchange members elect to list and post their products and services by listing them for sale at fair market pricing in the global online marketplace. The seller receives credit posted to their account in trade credits once a purchase is made. Clients receive monthly statements and can view their account activity online anytime to confirm their sales and purchases.

The benefit of participating in a Global online Trade Exchange is simple. If you have excess Inventory, slow moving products or services, or available business capacity, then seeking a reputable Trade Exchange Financial Service Center is a must for you. If you have already paid for inventory or staff or incremental costs for opening the doors to your business, you have at least a 10% or more capacity for accepting new business. Simply put, you are using money you have already spent for things you need or want instead.

Consider a Pizza Store Owner who had some unexpected expenses arise when first their air conditioning went out in the store, and their son needed emergency dental surgery. The owners quickly looked over their finances and discovered there was no cash available to pay for the repairs to their air conditioner and their personal finances could not cover the costs of the dental work. They had the inventory to make more pizza and they already paid for their staff, utilities and other costs. The owners made the decision to become part of a Trade Exchange and offered to sell their pizza on a trade basis to the other participating members of the Exchange and receive trade credits into their online account to pay for many of the ongoing expenses of their business and personal lives.

In this case the Pizza Store owner needed to secure a credit line based on his ability to accept additional customers to his Pizza Store from the Trade Exchange. After securing the trade credit advance from their exchange agent, they contacted a Heating and Air Company to immediately repair their air conditioner, and a Dentist for their son who were both members of the Trade Exchange.

The Trade Exchange goes to work advertising the Pizza Store to the other exchange business members and consumers within the exchange, who will be happy to purchase his Pizza using trade credits which were earned from sales they made through the Exchange. Often the members will also bring their friends and family to eat pizza. Your credit worthiness to a Trade Exchange is based on the strength of your ability to accept new customers from the Trade Exchange in order to repay these lines of credit or in some cases loans.

An additional benefit to the Pizza Store owner is that the friends and family may not be members of the Trade Exchange and as they enjoy the friendly service and great pizza, they become new happy cash paying customers and of course they tell their friends and family and you can guess their customer begin to increase and the business benefits.

In today’s current economy isn’t it great that there is a financial organization that helps you by offering a way to grow or expand your business by giving you a loan or credit line based on excess inventory, slow moving products or services, or available business capacity? Then the same organization helps you to repay the loan or credit lines by promoting and marketing your business to new customers. Participating in a good Trade Exchange is a win/win to everyone involved and a great way to restore balance and commerce in a community where times are difficult.

Using Money You’ve Already Spent

Written by kathy on March 14, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Why Not Use Money You’ve Already Spent?

If you’re like most businesses, you have a limited amount of money to spend. When you decide to order inventory or hire a new employee, you are tying up cash that you can’t use elsewhere. What happens when another opportunity comes along, and you just don’t have the cash to participate?

By using barter, you can use your current inventory or available time to get the things you need, without having to give up valuable cash.

For example, a recent top selling book publisher was traveling through Atlanta, and needed some emergency printing done. He contacted our office for help, and we suggested that he transfer some of his book inventory into the National Trade Network, obtaining full credit for the retail value of his books.

He used that credit to pay for his printing on trade. Thus, he was able to invest his cash into his books, and then used the same money again by trading the books to purchase printing.

Any time a business owner has unused or idle inventory, empty space or unused time, it can be turned into a ready resource for barter. Exchange those things for business expenses or personal expenses! Why not use the money you have already spent?

Want to learn more about how you can use barter and trade to help your business’s cash flow? Submit your comment or question below and the barter coach will be happy to answer it!

Consider excess inventory that you might have on hand and those seasonal items. You can offer these through a reputable barter exchange and often get close to retail value for your sales instead of discounting the items often to 20% or even less on a cashout basis.

Organized Trade and Barter Exchanges

Written by kathy on March 14, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Organized Barter (Trade Exchanges) is a method of exchange by which goods or services are directly exchanged at the fair market value of their local currency. The Selling Barter Client will receive what we call an electronic transfer of value posted within a debit credit system much like a bank. The seller receives the transfer electronically once the purchase has been completed and approved. The buyer earns Barter Credit in their account when the Barter Exchange promotes and brings them new clients who will pay them using Barter Credits that they have earned in a similar fashion. The Barter Exchange Member can also apply for a Barter Credit Business loan or a personal Barter credit line. These Barter Credit loans and lines of credit are issued based on the client’s ability to provide or promise products or services to the Barter Exchange in the form of existing inventory they can commit to the Barter Exchange. They might also sign a promissory note or a letter of intent, due bill or allow a lien or title on their property. In some cases they will provide a UC. In a healthy Barter Exchange System there must be products and services available within the Exchange System to back each Barter Credit in circulation. The Barter Credit might also be backed by real property, appraised Fine Art, Precious Metal or other valuable commodities.

Last year Companies using the “Modern Trade and Barter” process, made it possible for over 400,000 companies World Wide to utilize their Excess Business Capacities and underperforming assets, to earn an estimated $12 Billion dollars in previously lost and wasted revenues. While this is an impressive number, We believe that this is only a glimpse of what we could accomplish in the United States and Worldwide with the right system, available inventory and services within the Barter System blending Corporate Partnerships with local Businesses.

Local, Regional and National Business along with Individual Consumers, Non-Profits, Local Governments and Communities Worldwide can once again begin to flourish and prosper as they support each other by accessing all available resources and making them available through the Global Barter System. New businesses can be started with Trade Credit loans, and troubled companies can become viable again by filling up excess capacity especially restaurants and other service orientated businesses. Companies can move excess inventory and make available vanishing commodities such as advertising space, hotel rooms, empty seats on planes, cruise ships and more. By capturing potential lost revenue from underperforming assets and recycling these assets into barter credit for immediate future purchases while increasing both cash and barter sales can make the difference in the life of a business, community, non-profits, schools and families all across the Globe.
