TradeNet operates as a ‘trade exchange’ and has transformed traditional trade into a modern business tool. Accessible online TradeNet has created a flexible, secure and fully accountable way for businesses to-trade their goods and services with other businesses in the directory. TradeNet facilitates the transaction between members.  

When you trade your goods or services, you are creating a sale and effectively buying at your own cost of goods. To put it simply, if a business owner had a choice to pay for an expense for $1,000 he is much better off providing revenue generated from his business than paying the $1,000 in cash.

TradeNet is a division of Jim’s group. The largest and most successful franchise group in Australia.  

A Trade dollar is the term for the internal currency.

Companies join TradeNet to fill in downtime or move excess capacity. Trade is not designed to replace cash. It is designed to bring you new clients to do business with to reduce your cash expenses.

You can sell almost anything through TradeNet with basic exceptions to Drugs and Firearms. What you Trade with is entirely up to you!

A TradeNet transaction is a similar process to online banking. Simply log into your account, Enter the correct member details of who you wish to pay then follow the prompts to complete the transaction.

No. Trade Dollars are there to be used whenever a client needs access.  

Overdrafts are available at no extra cost for businesses with a good credit rating. 
Apply online.

Invoice a trade transaction exactly like a cash transaction. Ensure to write that the payment is to be received in trade dollars. Write down your TradeNet membership number on the invoice so it eases the buyer’s process of paying over the TradeNet system.

Trade transactions are assessable and deductible for income tax purposes to the same extent as other cash or credit card transactions. For further info Visit the ATO website: www.ato.gov.au/Business/GST/In-detail/Rules-for-specific-transactions/Barter-and-trade-exchanges/
