The Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society (OVES) & Kelowna Scotiabank present the June 2011 Townhall Meeting.

Bartering: The Entrepreneur’s Secret Weapon for Economic Success.

“I’ll trade you one of mine for two of your’s. Okay? No tradebacks!”

We did it as children, whether it be trading a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for a balogna sandwich or perhaps sports trading cards.  It was part of our everyday lives. As adults have we forgotten how it works or that it is a viable option?

Join our panel of experienced barterers as we explore questions such as:

  • How does it work?
  • Is it legal?
  • How do I know if I have something of value to trade?
  • What can I trade for?
  • How can I tell if I’m making a good trade?
  • What happens if the other person doesn’t keep their side of the deal?
  • What does the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) have to say on the matter?
