Short on cash? Need a new computer? Try barter!So, what's barter? Barter is the
exchange of goods and services without the use of cash. It is the oldest form of
commerce, and today more and more businesses are discovering or rediscovering
the awesome power of barter. Here's how barter works: When you need a product or
service for your business, instead of paying for it with cash, you instead pay
for it with your otherwise unsold products or services, meanwhile allowing your
business to expand without additional cash outlay. It is estimated that over 65%
of the Fortune 500 companies engage in barter to one extent or another.But don't
get the impression that barter is just for big business. Local companies trade
among themselves all the time, for products and services to reduce cash outlay,
and to promote their businesses. For example:A garage owner can barter his auto
repair services for legal services with a local attorney.An attorney can trade
his services for office supplies, auto repair, business lunches and plumbing
service.A restaurant owner can trade his service for kitchen supplies, grocery
products, new carpeting, and plumbing service.A plumber can trade his service
for auto repair, advertising, legal services or a home entertainment system.And
it goes on and on. With barter, you're limited only by your imagination.So, how
does one business approach another business about the possibility of
bartering?The easiest way is probably to go through your local barter exchange.
Just look in the yellow pages under "Barter and Trade Exchanges." If you don't
have a barter exchange where you live, no problem. Just pick up the telephone
and call a company you're interested in bartering with. Who knows, you just
might be pleasantly surprised at the response you receive! About the author:
