BBI works by selling your products or services to an exchange member, instead of receiving cash, you will receive trade dollars (credits). The transaction is much like a credit card transaction with the use of a plastic card and an authorization number requested by the seller for transactions over $75. The trade dollars earned can then be spent at other businesses who are members of the trade exchange.

The trade dollar system simplifies the old cumbersome barter system of the past which was limited to the exchange of products and services between two parties. Our system provides access to a wide multitude of businesses locally and worldwide.

BBI does all the bookkeeping for your company’s barter transactions and provides all the figures on a consolidated monthly statement. An IRS 1099B form is also provided for filing income tax. Additionally BBI provides online realtime 24/7 access to your trade account.

Once you become a member, you will be assigned a trade broker. Your trade broker will find the products and services you need, and will refer clients to your business. The broker-client relationship is important to maintain effective communication in order to provide a continuing resourceful service for your business.
