Facilitated Barter Systems
Facilitated barter systems are exchanges where a third-party organization, such as a barter exchange or trading network, helps businesses trade goods or services without using cash. Participants list what they have to offer and what they need. The exchange matches trading partners and manages the transactions, often providing accounting and credit systems. This allows businesses to conserve cash, utilize excess inventory, or access needed services, fostering mutually beneficial trade relations. Essentially, it's a structured, organized way for companies to barter efficiently, expanding their opportunities beyond direct one-on-one trades.
