Barter Network provides many services to our members. Your membership dues help to defer the costs of the services provided by BNI. They include:

BNI will act as a commissioned sales person: our responsibility is to deliver new business opportunities to your business. If we do not perform this function, we do not earn our transaction fees.
BNI will act as a purchasing agent: our responsibility is to source and deliver the goods and or services that you have requested. If we do not perform this function, we do not earn our transaction fees.
BNI earns their transaction fees based on their ability to successfully perform these two functions.
BNI will also act as a third party record keeper, performing accounting functions that allow our members to track their account activity on a daily basis. BNI provides detailed monthly statements and a Year End 1099B form, tracking the total amount of sales through barter for the previous year. Any purchases that were business related are tax deductible. Please consult with your accountant or tax advisor for specifics.

BNI provides marketing support to your business in many ways.

Proactive word of mouth advertising and promotion from our brokers
