IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS –
THE THRUTH & NOTHING BUT THE THRUTH!
DEFINITION OF MONEY
From
Wikipedia
, the free encyclopedia Coins and banknotes – the two most common physical forms of money.
Money is any object or record, that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a given country or socio-economic context.
The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange; a unit of account; a store of value; and, occasionally, a standard of deferred payment.
Any kind of easily verifiable record serves these functions as well as an object (an "object" that is taken as money actually serves as just a type of secure record), and "digital money" that exists only as secure records in computerized files, is now the most common form of money.
Money originated as commodity money, but nearly all contemporary money systems are based on fiat money. Fiat money is without intrinsic use value as a physical commodity, and derives its value by being declared by a government to be legal tender; that is, it must be accepted as a form of payment within the boundaries of the country, for "all debts, public and private".
The money supply of a country consists of currency (banknotes and coins) and demand deposits or 'bank money' (the balance held in checking accounts and savings accounts). These demand deposits usually account for a much larger part of the money supply than currency. As noted, bank money is intangible and exists only in the form of various bank records, but still serves as money.

ALTERNATE CURRENCY
From
Wikipedia
, the free encyclopedia Alternative currency is a term that refers to any currency used as an alternative to the dominant national or multinational currency systems (usually referred to as national or fiat money).
Alternative currencies can be created by an individual, corporation, or organization, they can be created by national, state, or local governments, or they can arise naturally as people begin to use a certain commodity as a currency. Mutual credit is a form of alternative currency, and thus any form of lending that does not go through the banking system can be considered a form of alternative currency.
When used in combination with or when designed to work in combination with national or multinational fiat currencies they can be referred to as complementary currency.
Most complementary currencies are also local currencies and are limited to a certain region.
Barters are another type of alternative currency. These are actually exchange systems, which only trade items; thus without the use of any currency whatsoever. Finally, LETS is a special form of barter which trades points for items. One point stands for one man-hour of work.
Often there are issues related to paying tax. Some alternative currencies are considered tax-exempt, but most of them are fully taxed as if they were national currency, with the caveat that the tax must be paid in the national currency. The legality and tax-status of alternative currencies varies widely from country to country; some systems in use in some countries would be illegal in others.

BARTER
Barter
is a method of exchange by which goods or services are directly exchanged for other goods or services without using a medium of exchange, such as money. It is usually bilateral, but may be multilateral, and usually exists parallel to monetary systems in most developed countries, though to a very limited extent.
Barter usually replaces money as the method of exchange in times of monetary crisis, such as when the currency may be either unstable (e.g., hyperinflation or deflationary spiral) or simply unavailable for conducting commerce.

What is Barter?
Barter is an excellent way to get the new clients you need to grow your business. Barter can help you utilize your products and services more accurately. Barter allows you to purchase some of the products and services you need for your business without spending the cash out of pocket.
Why Barter?
In our economy, Barter is thriving as a form of commerce. According to recent trade reports there are over 250,000 companies in the United States trading seven billion dollars in goods and services through barter exchanges.
What are the advantages of using Barter?
Save your cash by trading your product or service to pay for what you want/need. Barter works because you get new business and keep your existing cash paying customers. The real cost of products you buy on trade is the wholesale price it costs you to produce what you gave in trade. Happy barter customers will recommend cash paying customers as well as other barter customers. Barter clients bypass your competitors and seek you out because they also want the advantages. Barter customers pay retail price, so you get the full value of your product or service. You never have to worry about credit, cash flow, or collecting debts because you receive instant payment.
Why Use Trade/Barter Exchange?
There are many reasons why you should use a Trade/barter Exchange. The most basic reason is that barter is their fundamental business. You can represent yourself in court to handle your legal matters, but you hire an attorney. You might be able to take out your own appendix, but you go to a surgeon. Why? Well, simply because they have the training and skills to accomplish these tasks more effectively and you really don't want to spend the time and energy required to learn these skills. Therefore, it is worth employing them to perform these services for you. Barter is the same, you certainly can do-it-yourself, but wouldn't you rather employ professionals who have been trained in the skills of effective barter?
A quality Trade/Barter exchange gives you access to a wide range of skilled professionals who work for you to help you maximize your barter business.
The benefits you will find will outweigh the fee's you will pay for services.

WELCOME TO THE BARTER CORP.
The Barter Corp is a Commercial Trade or Barter Exchange that provides a trading platform and bookkeeping system for its members or clients. The member companies buy and sell products and services to each other using an internal currency known as barter or trade dollars.
Modern barter and trade has evolved considerably to become an effective method of increasing sales, conserving cash, moving inventory, and making use of excess production capacity for businesses around the world. Businesses in a barter exchange earn trade credits (instead of cash) that are deposited into their account.
They then have the ability to purchase goods and services from other members utilizing their trade credits – they are not obligated to purchase from who they sold to, and vice versa. The exchange plays an important role because they provide the record-keeping, brokering expertise and monthly statements to each member. The Barter Corp makes money by charging a commission on each transaction either all on the buy side, all on the sell side, or a combination of both. Transaction fees typically run between 5 and 10% So In essence, The Barter Corp does not makes money unless you our client make money. Its time to partner with The Barter Corp and begin to raise your bottom line.
