The Merchants Barter Difference
Bartering – the exchange of goods and services without the need for money – is nothing new, it has been used for thousands of years. It makes sense because it conserves cash, clears inventory, and opens up new avenues of credit. The challenge is finding people to trade with at the same time and in the same quantity, without creating another full time job. That’s where Merchants Barter comes in.

In 2000, Merchants Barter solved that problem once and for all, taking traditional bartering out of the Stone Age and into the 21st century, making it simple for almost any business to trade for items big and small at the same price as cash exclusively on a trade basis.

Instead of using cash dollars to buy goods and services, our members use MBE Dollars. We send our members new customers to earn MBE Dollars, and we help them spend that extra revenue with other members on the exchange. Simple.

But If Everybody’s Bartering, How Do I Make Money?
There are a number of ways to make money as a Licensee. Every new business you sign up pays a one-time membership fee of $895. That fee is yours, and it’s how you pay your sales team commissions. In addition to that, we charge a 10% cash fee on purchases members make, half of these monthly fees collected go to you also.

Not only do we take care of all the record keeping and day-to-day barter transactions for your members via our centralized brokerage (leaving you free to sell more), we also send out monthly statements (just like a bank or credit card company), and issue 1099b forms for tax purposes.

We help you hire, train, and manage a local team of direct sales professionals that sign up new members. From then on, your business is practically on cruise-control: just keep adding new members and our brokers take care of the rest.
