When you use your trade dollars to offset a portion of your operating expenses, you are conserving cash flow; cash that was generated from your regular business and that normally would have gone to pay for its expenses. With the Canadian Barter System, you can reallocate your cash flow to increase profitability by applying barter to your expenses.
EXAMPLE
Continuing with the restaurant, let's say that they have generated a thousand dollars ($1,000.00) worth of new business through the barter system. By applying this credit towards regular operating expenses, the restaurant has conserved one thousand dollars cash ($1,000.00). When this pattern is maintained over many months, you have increased profitability.
Businesses who use our service for making purchases have many advantages over a cash-only business, and one of these is the advantage of reciprocity.
When you pay for goods and services with cash, there is no guarantee of receiving return business. For every purchase you make through the Canadian Barter System, however, you are guaranteed new business from another member.
With barter exchanges, the real cost of the goods you purchase on trade is actually the wholesale cost of your trade dollars earned. Making sales with built-in profits makes the cost of your purchase more economical on trade.
