How Bartercard Works

How does it work?
It’s simple, you trade your products and services with others using Trade Pounds, One Trade Pounds is equal to one Cyprus Pound for all accounting purposes, and is treated as such by the Tax Department.

 

How will it enhance your business?
  • Interest-free line of credit
  • Reduction in cash expenses
  • Improved cash flow and profit
  • An edge over competitors 
  • Extra customers and increased market share
  • Global registered trademark and financial stability offers members security and trading integrity.
  • Offers both national and international trading opportunities
  • Accelerates accounts receivable. 
  • Leverage barter position into new cash contracts.
  • Opportunity to network the extensive membership base
  • Purchasing power at own cost of goods

What would I get once I join?
An Account Manager: To professionally promote your business and maximize your cash savings.
 
A Directory: Provides a detailed description and contact information of the Bartercard members.
 
Free Advertising: Promoting and Marketing your business via the Bartercard Network.
 
Trade Expo: An event held every 3 months where you would market, exhibit and trade your products or services.
 
New members/top traders nights: An official “in person” introduction event to the Network held every 2 months.

In summary, Bartercard creates new customers because buyers are motivated to pay with their product or service and save cash. The company making the sale has leverage because the cost of the sale is only calculated to be the cost of replacing the inventory sold or direct cost in providing the service. The leverage will be realized in new profits as the trade Pound earned is used to offset expenses normally paid for with cash.
