IBE® usest ‘Barter’ as a tool to build and brow your business. IBE® allows you to gain instant access to new and additional business by being engagedin the IBE Barter community. You earn IBE® currency by offering your products/services to fill that down time or excess capacity. You move excess inventory at your retail price on barter, rather than discount it. This new business allows you to purchase from other members of the IBE® Barter community without the use of cash.
