About The Benefits
 

	1. New Customers - Attract and keep new customers without paying cash for advertising or hiring more sales representatives. Members of Island TradeLink, and other associated trade exchanges, will purchase from you simply because you accept trade credit as a form of payment.
	2. Low-Cost Purchasing - Purchase products and services at a cost equal to your own cost of goods sold. When you spend the trade credit that you earned from other members, you are effectively purchasing at a much lower price.
	3. New Source Of Financing - You can easily borrow trade credit from Island TradeLink to purchase goods and services when needed. A. When you apply for a loan from your bank, your PAST history determines your qualification.      When you apply for a loan from Island TradeLink, your FUTURE determines your qualification. B. Your bank WILL charge you interest on a loan.      Island TradeLink WILL NOT charge you interest on a loan. C. Your bank WILL NOT refer new customers to you to help repay your loan.      Island TradeLink WILL refer new customers to you to help repay your loan.
	4. Save Your Cash - Make as many of your cash expenditures as possible in trade credit and leave your money in the bank. Spending trade credit instead of cash conserves your cash and improves your "bottom line".
	5. Grow Your Business - Demonstrate substantial growth derived from new sales obtained through Island TradeLink. Regardless of the form of payment, sales are sales. If you sell 20% more of your products or services in trade credit it is reflected in revenue growth of 20%. This kind of reportable growth shows well if you're seeking investors or looking to sell your business.
	6. Expand Your Market - Reach new customers in places previously thought too distant. Your business now reaches key business centers in North America and other overseas cities through our direct links to other trade exchanges.
	7. Sell Your Surplus Inventory - Sell slow-moving products or last-year's models at your full price in trade credit before reducing the price. When you sell in trade credit you get paid immediately, not over 30, 60 or 90 days.
	8. Sell Your Excess Capacity - Sell space that is not otherwise sold for cash. When a restaurant has empty tables, or a hotel has empty rooms at the end of the day, the opportunity to sell that capacity is lost forever.
	9. Sell Your Uncommitted Time - Sell your services during periods of time that are not otherwise booked. Maximize your schedule for improved income and efficiency by selling more billable hours.
	10. Invest In Advertising - Use your trade credit to invest in advertising to attract more cash-paying customers. Many business owners are reluctant to invest in advertising since it is so difficult to gauge its success. However, when you realize the new-found purchasing power of trade credit, the cost of advertising becomes much more acceptable.
	11. Join The Network - Participate in networking events and activities with other like-minded business owners. Island TradeLink also maintains a website for the information of all members and issues bulletins listing new members and unique business opportunities.
	12. Improve Your Lifestyle - Treat yourself to a luxury item, visit an upscale restaurant or take that much-needed and overdue vacation. Business owners all too often put off these expenditures because the money is better spent elsewhere. Your new-found revenue in trade credit will greatly enhance your lifestyle.
