About Us - All Trade Canada - A Better Barter and Trade Exchange

About AllTrade Canada

AllTrade Canada is a trade exchange, which is group of companies that agree to use a common currency called Trade Dollars; The members do this so that they can pay for their purchases at member companies with their own products and services. Buying and selling within the group is facilitated and regulated by the trade exchange.

When a member company purchases from another member with trade dollars, that member can use trade dollars, instead of cash, to make a purchase at the same or any of the other trade exchange members.

Trading increases members’ sales and profits by attracting member business owners to purchase from trade members rather than non-trade members. In other words, ‘All Trade members buy from you, if you buy from All Trade members.’

All Trade Canada is a better way to do contra between companies. It is an efficient way to deliver the services and products our member companies need and want, which can be purchased with trade dollars.

Compared to other forms of contra between companies, All Trade Canada offers five distinct advantages:

1 - Diversity
2 - Lower Risk contra
3 - Better Promotion
4 - Inter-Exchange Trade
5 - Broker Assistance

Diversity: All Trade Canada offers a large group of businesses to trade with as compared to one on one contra where you have to spend an equal amount with the same company purchasing from you. With All Trade Canada, you can sell to one member, and purchase at the same or any of the other members, thus enabling you to get full value from your trade dollars.
Lower Risk: Doing contra trade with All Trade Canada is a lower risk approach to contra. In one to one contra if your trade partner disagrees on the price of product or services he owes you after you have already provided him with product or services, or if he has insolvency issues, you could be left with trade that you cannot collect on. In All Trade Canada, you have the choice of doing business with any of the other members, and you have the Trade Broker to call on to ensure fair trade between members according to the All Trade Canada trade rules. Your business will not be left with trade dollars; All Trade Canada will honour your trade dollars even if one of the companies you have sold to becomes unable to repay their debt to the trade exchange.
Better Promotion: Where one on one contra does not typically expand your client base, or awareness of your business among other potential clients, trading within an exchange provides promotion to hundreds of other business owners, and it also creates warm relationships, placing you on these business owners’ preferred supplier list.
Inter-Exchange Trade: All Trade Canada is able to trade through our software platform with approximately 40 other trade exchanges across North America, and hundreds of other exchanges through brokers using international trade credits. This opens up use of your trade dollars for many other products, remote delivered services, and travel packages, as well as opening a large market for your company’s product and services.
Broker Assistance: While with one on one contra you are dealing with people you already know, with All Trade the Broker brings new business to you, and sets preferences on your account to enable you to trade in the way that best suits your business. Some companies sell exclusively through the broker, while most others prefer walk-in business. There are also options for amount per transaction, maximum trade dollar balance, minimum guaranteed sales, and more.
