Midwest Business Exchange

MBE Barter - How It Works!A network of local businesses and organizations, Midwest Business Exchange (MBE) allows members to barter their goods and services among themselves. The team at MBE helps to facilitate trades between members, eliminating the drawbacks of one-on-one trading by creating a functioning barter economy that allows businesses to trade with one another. As a result, a business can engage in trade even if they do not have goods or services that their trading partner wants.

Since 1980, MBE has worked with countless businesses, nonprofits, and organizations to support the local economy by encouraging mutually beneficial exchanges. More importantly, we’ve helped our members market and advertise their businesses in ways that their budget may not have otherwise allowed.

As the owner of Player’s Grill in Augusta, I have been doing business with Midwest Business Exchange for over fifteen years. Through the new customers that MBE has brought to our restaurant, I’ve been able to use my trade dollars to get my home’s roof done and install new flooring for my business.

Midwest Business Exchange is a terrific organization that consistently drives business to Absolute Video. We appreciate the relationship because staff is always looking out for our best interests. The great people of MBE provide opportunity for growth and they do it with integrity (and humor!) everyday.

I have been a member of MBE for three years and I wish I would have joined ten years ago. Not only has my trade business been rewarding, but I have gotten cash referrals from trade jobs. One member in Vicksburg referred me to three of his neighbors for power washing and they in turn referred me to others for painting and glass bead blasting. I can’t say enough for the guys who work there, and when I call you can tell they are genuinely interested in helping me promote my business.
