Welcome to the Barter Exchange Website Serving Commercial Businesses
What is Barter?
Barter is trading goods or services without the use of money! In times past people traded live stock, vegetables, grain etc. for things they needed. It worked fine if you located who needed what you had and had what you needed. It was hard to find them, that's why money was invented; Stones, Beads, Shells, Pearls, Coins, Silver, Gold and finally paper money.
In an Exchange, you deal with fellow members buying/selling goods and services using trade dollars, not cash. Offer what you have to earn trade dollars to spend. It is an easier way (not free) to acquire what you need without money.
Barter Exchanges are recognized by the IRS (irs.gov/taxtopics/tc420 also IRS Pub 525). The IRS views bartering the same as cash and profits generated are treated as income (1099 B) and business related expenses are tax deductible. In view of the economy and its future, the Exchange provides financial assistance to small and medium size businesses, schools, townships, retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, services, and other industries. The idea is to spend trade dollars rather than cash. The money saved goes to your bottom line or, can be used for other essential needs.
Membership in the Exchange guarantees to provide what you need. Members can also collect past due receivables, debtors can pay with trade dollars and keep their credit. Or, you can use trade dollars for payables. There is No Cost for Membership in the Exchange, however, you are required to deposit $350 - $475 (based on sales volume) which is
deposited into your new account.
The Exchange matches you deposit and plced into your new account as credits. We charges a 6% commission per transaction. After expenses, the balance is donated to the CCA charity (www.donatecca.org).
