Back to Barter: A Solution for Struggling Paint and Coatings Companies - Paint & Coating Industry

IMS Barter

Everything old is new again. As the paint and coatings business struggles as a result of COVID-19, the oldest form of trade - barter - is booming. However, this is not your father’s direct trade barter model. And that makes it even more appealing to cash-strapped businesses now.

Business-to-business trading has been providing an alternative method of payment that conserves cash, attracts new customers and gives businesses a competitive advantage.

What people say

"Mosaic Hair Studio has been in business since 2004, and we have partnered with International Monetary Systems since the beginning. Initially, we used IMS to help us gain new clients and for marketing, but as our business grew and we expanded locations, we have used IMS for a host of services in our buildout and ongoing maintenance of our salons. We considered IMS and my barter broker, Melissa Birmele, an invaluable resource and trusted advisor. As we continue to grow locations, I know IMS will be there to help us manage our cash flow."
