OPEN THE DOOR TO A WHOLE NEW FINANCIAL FUTURE.

FRANCHISEOPPORTUNITY

This is an opportunity that could change your life and your financial future – dramatically. This is the Tradebank

Franchise – a chance to own your own business and to be part of one of the fastest growing, most dynamic

industries in the world: the barter industry.

Barter – the trading of goods and services for those of another – has grown to over a $20 billion-a-year industry. Currently, 92% of Fortune 500 companies and hundreds of thousands of other businesses

around the world barter. Trade has become a highly valued business method in world commerce and

Tradebank International is a world leader.

Your Tradebank Franchise will provide you instant income, as well as important residual income. You’ll be fully

trained and provided the tools you need to be successful. You’ll be guaranteed a protected territory. Plus, you’ll

be on the cutting edge, part of a company that is using the Internet and state-of-the art proprietary technology

to revolutionize a multi-billion dollar industry.

This is Tradebank. The opportunity of a lifetime is now.

“Experts estimate that millions of companies, especially young ones, employ barter as a

regular or occasional business tool.”– Entrepreneur.com

“If you’re low on cash and up for new business, bartering for goods and services can be a

shrewd business move.” – Business Week Online

• Own your own business

• Control your own destiny

• Instant income

• Residual income

• Comprehensive Training

• Protected territory

• Proprietary technology

• Personal barter benefits

Tradebank is your chance to be involved in a

dynamic industry that is projected to grow at

a phenomenal rate – over 500% in the next

decade. This exponential growth is easy to

understand. Barter is a business tool that can

be used by virtually every business owner or

professional – anyone who wants to conserve

cash and increase profits. The market is basically

limitless – and the same can be said for your

financial potential.

A DYNAmIC DAY

A Tradebank franchise also proves attractive

because every day is different. The ho-hum

routine of getting up each day and trudging to

the office, doing the same repetitive tasks, having

someone always looking over your shoulder – it

doesn’t exist with Tradebank. Ours is a dynamic,

ever-changing business, where each day you’ll be

energized by fresh challenges and an opportunity

to continually think outside the box.

A DYNAmIC LEADER

Tradebank International Inc. is an International Barter Exchange headquartered in Lawrenceville, Georgia,

with offices across the U.S., Canada and Europe. We began doing business in 1987 when our first trade

moved excess inventory for a client, enabling that company to trade for many business related expenses.

Since then we have completed millions of trade transactions, each substantially benefiting our clients.

Today, Tradebank is one of the largest barter exchanges in the world. Ours is a successful, rapidly growing

corporation that offers an excellent opportunity for franchise ownership in a creative and unique industry.

“Barter gives clients a competitive edge. Barter network clients tend to shop within the system first, and satisfied barter customers make referrals to cash customers.”

– Kiplinger’s

“Bartering serves as an attractive solution for business owners because it enables them to get fair market value for excess inventory and underperforming assets.”

– Entrepreneur Magazine

“Tradebank is a no-brainer decision for both business owners and perspective franchise owners alike. In fact, I believe that the future of

Tradebank is so bright that I got my family involved and recently purchased my

third franchise.”

PROJECTED INDUSTRY GROWTH

CURRENT

IN TEN YEARS

In barter’s simplest form, two businesses or professionals trade

items of equivalent value. Tradebank, however, opens up a whole

new dimension in trading. Now a company doesn’t have to find

another company that simultaneously needs its product or

service. Only one trader’s need is required to start the process

and with the help of a trade broker, everyone comes out with

something they need.

HOW TRADEBANk WORkS

Tradebank completes trades for its clients much like a

commercial bank does for checks, or a brokerage firm does for

stocks. As an intermediary, Tradebank receives a commission

on each trade transaction and saves all parties the trouble and

process of collection, exchange of goods, or matching needs

exactly with those of another party.

The transactions between companies are actually converted

to barter credits or “trade dollars” (one trade dollar is equal to

one U.S. dollar in value) and are reflected as balances in each

trading company’s “trade account.” The accounts are maintained

and serviced by Tradebank. The transactions are credited

immediately, so there are no receivables, collection efforts, or

bad debts involved.

H O W B A R T E R W O R k S

“Bartering allows goods that would otherwise have to be bought with hard-earned cash to instead be acquired at wholesale price or the value of a product when measured in

overhead costs.”

- Business Wire

“Tradebank is just another opportunity for business owners and professionals to take on additional business. I view this as revenue that I would not have if not for Tradebank.”

“Tradebank not only helps us conserve our cash, but also brings in additional

cash business as well.”

While many franchising opportunities are confined to niche markets,

that’s not the case with Tradebank. It would be hard to think of a business

or professional who could not benefit from the services of Tradebank.

Step out your door and the world is your market – nearly every single

business owner is a candidate for barter.

THE “WHY” OF BARTER

Smart traders trade for those things, which they need or want and would

normally spend cash on in the marketplace. By bartering, a company is

able to:

• Leave cash in the business

• Buy other products or services at its own wholesale cost

• Pay for its purchases with its own products or services

• Spend “trade dollars” from new customers whose business the company would not have received otherwise

• Convert excess inventory or unused capacity into tangible assets

B A R T E R I S S m A R T E R

1. New business on a continuing basis

2. Conserves cash flow

3. Increases profits

4. Buy at your wholesale cost

5. Lowers overhead costs

6. Referrals from clients brings new cash customers

7. No accounts receivable

8. No bad checks or bad debts

9. Itemized monthly statements

10. Valuable new business contacts

11. International trading privileges

12. Guaranteed new business or money-back guarantee

“The biggest benefit we have realized from Tradebank was the immediate, incremental business that probably would not have come to us as cash customers. It was a big boon to our sales and that additional revenue has been used to purchase business

and personal needs that were once paid for with cash.”

YOUR TRADEBANk BROkER

To maximize the opening of your Franchise Operation, a highly trained professional Tradebank Broker will

be assigned to provide the broker services until you attain your first 50 clients, allowing you to concentrate

your efforts on building your business. Your Trade Broker is the key to your success as a Franchise Owner.

The function of the Trade Broker is to help facilitate the sale of your client’s goods and services throughout

the Tradebank system and locate the goods and services your clients wish to purchase.

YOUR TRADEBANk ADvANTAGE

In addition to managing and running a profitable Tradebank franchise, you’ll assist your clients in a number

of ways. You’ll help them increase sales with new customers and business referrals. You’ll help them

be more profitable by converting excess capacity or inventory into products and services their company

needs. Also, you’ll show them how to conserve cash with trade dollars for both personal and business use.

It’s all easily done. Tradebank provides a step-by-step procedure to set up your Tradebank Regional Office

and provides complete training for you and your staff.

As a Tradebank Franchise Owner, or what we call a Regional Owner,

you’ll be building your Tradebank business with the thousands of

businesses in your territory. Business owners and professionals may join

Tradebank for a one-time fee of $495 and begin trading for business

and/or personal needs.

YOUR TRADEBANk TRANSACTIONS

Each time one of your clients makes a trade purchase, a 12% - 14%

cash transaction fee is charged to the buyer at the time the transaction

takes place. Transactions are processed on a 24/7 basis through

the corporate office and a credit or debit is posted to the appropriate

accounts. The Corporate office does all the “back office” bookkeeping and

updates the accounts. All clients are provided with monthly statements

reflecting each transaction and may also view their account in real time

on the Internet.

Franchising dates as far back as the Middle Ages, when franchises were

granted to tax collectors. In the 19th century, franchising was used to

distribute Singer sewing machines; it was later used by General Motors

and other companies to expand the retail end of their businesses. Today,

franchising plays a vital role in the economic life of the western world.

• According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, franchising is

statistically less risky than starting a new business

• In the last 10 years the number of franchises in the U.S. has doubled

• 96.9% of franchise units opened in the last five years are still in

operation today; 85.7% are still operated by the original owner

• There are currently more than 3 million franchised businesses around

the world with over 750,000 in the U.S.

Q & A

The following are some of the questions (and the answers) that are

most often asked about the unique Tradebank opportunity.

Q: How much of an individual investment may be required for a

Tradebank franchise?

A: There are many variables. However, the base cost of a

franchise is $30,000. Remember that you will need sufficient

funds to maintain you and your family for approximately six to

nine months as you build your client base. In addition,

franchises with a population base exceeding 500,000 have

a higher cost.

For the specific costs for your territory, see the enclosed insert.

Q: Do I receive training by Tradebank International

Franchising Corporation?

A: Yes. Each Franchisee will receive an intensive training course

at our corporate headquarters in Lawrenceville, GA. Also one

or more of our marketing representatives will spend a week in

your territory assisting you in getting a quick start. The cost of

this initial training is covered in your franchise fee.

“If you are looking for a business that provides both financial and personal rewards, I would highly recommend looking into the

Tradebank franchise opportunity.”

- Mark Caldwell Regional Owner

Tradebank of Nashville

Q: Who can join Tradebank in my territory?

A: Any business owner or professional who has a product to sell or a service to render. During the start-up phase,

you will need to concentrate your efforts on signing clients in about 30 different frequently-asked-for business

categories.

Q: Do I have to have an office?

A: You have the option of operating as a home based business until you build a client base of approximately

50 clients.

Q: What size businesses trade?

A: Clients range from small one-owner operations to large corporations. Each decides and controls how much

trading they will do.

Q: What about tax reporting requirements?

A: There are no tax advantages or disadvantages to trading. The IRS recognizes barter/trade transactions

as a standard method of doing business and Tradebank provides all the proper recording and reporting

of those transactions. Under the guidelines of the “Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act,” barter exchanges

now rank on equal footing with banks, credit card issuers, credit unions, security brokers, and others as third

party record keepers.

TELL US ABOUT YOU

Please complete the confidential information form in its entirety. A

resume may be included in lieu of filling out the business information

and education sections. Three personal references are required. All

requests for specific franchise territories are considered on a first

received basis.

YOUR FRANCHISE TERRITORY

Applicant must live in the territory that the franchise is granted

for. The territories that are available have population bases from

150,000 to over three million; they are normally based around one

predominant business center. That center should be the primary

site for your operation.

YOUR FINANCIAL OBLIGATION

Your financial obligation should be one that would enable you to

handle a minimum down payment of $10,000 or more toward

the $30,000 base cost of the franchise. Territories with over a

500,000 population carry an additional franchise fee of $5,000

per each 500,000 in population. Tradebank will provide financing

for the remainder of your franchise fee or you may utilize your own

resources. You may also need enough working capital and living

expenses for up to six months.

YOUR COmmITmENT

A full-time commitment is required by a key individual to operate a Tradebank franchise, whether purchased by a

corporation, partnership or a sole proprietorship.

its clients to function in the same disciplined and responsible manner as other financial institutions conduct

themselves in the marketplace.
