About Us

We want to help facilitate this beneficial method of doing business for our immediate community and to the surrounding areas that are not currently being served by the existing barter networks of the Chicago suburbs.

We first started using a formal barter network in 2000 and we currently belong to two of the larger barter networks, aka "exchanges" in the Chicagoland area.

IMS Barter - www.imsbarter.com
headquartered in Niles IL

and

There is 3rd one we are considering adding this year - ITEX barter - www.itex.com

We have had some great barter transactions this past year and look forward to increasing our barter business with both of these companies as the years go by.

We highly encourage every business person to look into both of these networks and join if you find they have goods and services that you can benefit from.

We have inquired with a couple of service and repair companies and they will travel to our area to conduct barter transactions. Some of examples of these would be glass repair and construction and remodeling work. There will be more available in time, or we may be able to get them to join our local network too.

Please call any time if you would like more information or some examples of how barter can work for you.
