Most businesses have slow-moving inventory, unscheduled time, or under-used capacity. For over two decades, Barter of America has helped companies turn those non-productive assets into new sales with new customers — then use earned trade dollars to buy what they need and conserve cash.
Every business has unused capacity. Barter of America turns that capacity into a competitive advantage.
Barter of America is a professional B2B exchange for established businesses. If you are an individual looking to swap with neighbors, our Barter Stores individual app is the right path.
To join you must be a licensed business legally authorized to sell the goods or services you wish to trade, operating in one of our active markets, and willing to fulfill transactions at your standard retail prices.
Licensed businesses ready to trade at full retail value within a managed exchange — restaurants, retailers, service firms, professionals, hotels, and more. If you are an individual swapping with neighbors, use our local Barter Stores app instead.
Anything legal and tradeable at your standard retail price: excess inventory, open appointment slots, empty hotel rooms, unused production time, professional services, advertising space, and more. The key is having available capacity your business already carries as a cost.
Products and services from exchange members — once you earn trade dollars. This includes travel, dining, office supplies, printing, advertising, auto services, home repairs, health services, and much more. Browse the member directory after you join, or ask your broker what is currently available in your market.
Barter income is taxable under US federal law (TEFRA 1982). Barter of America issues IRS Form 1099-B as required. You report barter income the same way you report cash income. We recommend consulting your accountant. Full details are in our Terms of Use.
Membership requires an application and approval. Standard exchange fees and terms apply as outlined in your Member Agreement. There is no minimum trade volume — but the more you sell, the more trade dollars you earn to spend.
Every transaction on the Barter of America network is backed by a signed legal agreement between the parties involved. Both buyer and seller have full contractual recourse in the event of a dispute. This has been our standard since July 2001 — protecting thousands of businesses for over 24 years.
