BarterPay Niagara is a business-to-business bartering exchange economy. With a local
membership based in the Niagara region, we help small-to-medium size businesses boost their business by
leveraging their goods and services and bartering for the things they need most.
How does it work?
We are a membership network with a digital means of exchange called Barter Credits. Businesses offer their goods and/or services at fair retail value to the membership in exchange for Barter Credits (1 BP = $1 CAD, for value and taxation purposes), and in turn use their Barter Credits with other BarterPay Niagara members to purchase the things that they need.
Example:
You provide a service - say you're a landscaper. You need a new website and based on a few quotes you've budgeted $5,000 to have it built. Well you can buy it three different ways:
What are the benefits?
You buy at the incremental cost of goods ($$$ savings)
Bartering promotes a socially-conscious sharing economy
Keep your money in the bank by participating in an alternative form of commerce
You are part of a membership AND a network of like-minded individuals, gaining extra exposure for your business to this group of people and businesses
You get what you need, and generate new sales as a result
You can monetize your idle inventory, unsold time, and valuable services
