Are you running a Small Business?

According to the US Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy, in 2019 there were 30.7 million small businesses in the United States with Chron estimating that over 627,000 new businesses started each year.

Small business owners know the importance of sales to fund their small operations. However, most small business owners turn to debt financing through small business loans to meet their needs while they build their potential buyer pools.

Instead of turning to traditional banks to build your business, why not barter a percentage of your business through a b2b sales model, such as IMS? Through IMS, you’re in complete control of how much you want to sell through barter, and the profits of those sales can be used to purchase much needed products and services, such as advertising, supplemental health services, printing, marketing, and so much more!

Leverage your product or service into cash savings through IMS! Call us today.

Going Out of Your Way for Barter

Talk to an experienced member of the Trade Exchange and they'll candidly tell you, "Yes, I've traveled a bit farther to buy on trade." The small inconvenience is worth it because it pays off big time ... greater cash flow for your company in these "cash-tight" times!

The Key to Good Barter Experiences

One of the basic principles IMS Barter has maintained throughout its existence is the belief in the need for communication and commitment from its members. Both are essential to good barter experiences and are established through the broker/client relationship.
