Companies of all sizes and in every business category are discovering the advantages of using trade to improve cash flow and reduce excess inventory. Trading is an effective management tool that goes straight to the bottom line and makes excellent financial sense for every business.

By trading, your company is able to:

Increase sales by obtaining new customers
Reduce cash outlay – buy products and services with Tradebank dollars while leaving cash in the business
Enjoy discounts on trade purchases (If profit margin = 50%, then discount = 50%)
Convert excess inventory or unused capacity into tangible assets

The goal of business today is to keep as much cash in the bank as possible – not in the hands of vendors. Cash flow shrinks or expands from year to year, depending on two things: gross sales generated and monitoring of expenses.

By treating Tradebank as an alternate expense account, companies use the 7-15% extra business to pay for existing expenses, not their cost of goods sold. By paying trade dollars for these expenses the company’s cash remains in the bank – unspent – improving both cash flow and profitability!

A Case Study

Bottom-Line Benefits: The A-Sharp Printing

To demonstrate how Tradebank improves the overall financial performance of its member companies, let’s examine the financial planning activity of A-Sharp Printing, Inc. Bob Jones is the president and owner of A-Sharp, which provides copying and graphic design services. Like other owners of most businesses, Bob is constantly looking for ways to improve his companyu’s cash flow.

Using the company’s historical financial and operating performance, Bob prepares financial projections for A-Sharp.

Sales for the year are forecast at $1,000,000.
Cost of Goods Sold (primarily paper, ink, and other materials) are equal to 50% of sales, delivering a gross margin of 50%.
Fixed Expenses consisting of rent, utilities, leases and maintenance agreements for printing equipment will total $250,000.
Variable Expenses such as advertising, travel, and other sales and marketing activities will amount to $200,000.

Having joined the Tradebank Network, Bob assesses how A-Sharp could benefit from Tradebank.

As a Tradebank member, Bob figures that he could increase his profits by 40% with only a 5% increase in sales. He also assumes that he can use his T$ balance to pay for variable expenses such as advertising, supplies, and travel.

Net Effect of Trade:

The business obtained $50,000 more sales (5% increase)
Cash flow improved by using the 50,000 T$ in new sales to pay for operating expenses - primary variable expenses.
The business reduced its cash expenses and increased its net profit by more than 40% by trading within the Tradebank Network.
A 5% increase in sales generated a 40% improvement in profits.
