TRADE GOODS & SERVICES

Trade goods and services with another entrepreneur and save on some of the things you need to run your business.  Are you an accountant who needs brochures designed?  Maybe you can offer to do a graphic designer’s taxes this year in exchange for a brochure design.
Aggressive expense cutters should consider barter because it can “reduce cash output and, if done in an equitable manner, improve community business relationships,” notes Leif Smith, president of Personal Best Consulting, based in Hilliard, Ohio.
