Business Opportunities

Trade dollars can open doors to a number of opportunities, not the least of which is business. Using your trade dollars as a stepping stone to a career or a viable business venture is one of the best cash conversion tools in the industry because it keeps on giving. If your are selling, make what you offer even more attractive to an entirely new group of potential Buyers; a North America-wide network that numbers in the thousands, all of whom are looking for Sellers willing to accept trades. All they ask is that you consider Trades as one component of a purchase offer. If you are buying, use the trades as leverage to put the deal together. The trade portion of any business transaction can range from 20% to 100%. In large deals, such as real estate, the trade portion is generally in the 25% to 40% range.

REAL ESTATE
Real estate, business and investment opportunities listed herein, for the most part, include a cash/barter blend. For the barter or trade industry, this is the rule rather than exception, despite what might be suggested at times by the 'Big Players' in the barter industry. The vast majority of trade participants are not Big Players, therefore have to survive under a slightly different set of rules. As is the case in any marketplace where a currency is involved, there are exceptions. If you have one of those exceptions, let us know and we will certainly do our best to bring a deal your way. However, if you, like us, often have to deal in that slightly altered real world, please proceed.

TRADE$$ BIZOPS
Cash Conversion Vending. Turn Trade$$ into cash and create a business, all with one swipe of your barter card. No upfront cash required to purchase the vending tools to make it happen. TradePlus Markets has pre-purchased a few charity-designated classic Antique Gas Pump vending machines. The PUMPER vending machine retails for $795 per unit. This test-market special is offered to the barter community at a per-unit price of $500 Trade plus $295 cash, which can be financed. This special is based on the minimum purchase of a 10-machine vending route, putting the total price at a $5,000 Trade deposit plus $2950 cash, payable in easy monthly terms. These eye-catching PUMPERs stand just over 5 feet or 7 feet tall. The highly visible globe atop the pump is a great marketing tool and the perfect partner for charities. Extra income source for businesses, fund raisers, students, casual or part-time entrepreneurs, family members. Childrens Miracle Network and Breast Cancer are two charities supported in the current campaign. Would you believe a payout conversion in less than two years for Operators who keep 100% of the cash box thanks to a location donating floor space for the charity? There are no guarantees on how many quarters make it to the cash box, but a $30 per month, per machine average from a 10-machine route is not unrealistic. At that average, the purchaser should be in a position to pay down the cash, realize a 100% cash conversion on the Trade$$ and own a fully-paid 10-machine BizOp in less than 24 months. Do NOT simply park your Trade$$. Put them to work.
