What is the difference between barter and corporate trade?
Barter typically refers to the swap or exchange of goods between two parties, and is most commonly used by SMO’s or individuals. Options are limited by the range of goods and services sitting within the exchange, minimal quality controls exist, pricing is inflated relative to real market and commissions and fees are usually charged. By Contrast, corporate trade allows the seller to dispose of the asset at or above market price in the form of a trade credit. This trade credit is then used in combination with cash to buy media, goods and services already being purchased by the company with pricing and quality benchmarks fully maintained. No commissions or fees are charged. Unlike barter, corporate trade creates true economic benefit.
