Laurie Sossa/Southern Barter Club

Barter (also commonly referred to as “trade”) is a smart and powerful business tool that represents a solution for companies with available inventory, resources or services. By accepting payment in “trade dollars” instead of cash, a business maximizes their efficiency by increasing inventory turnover or billable hours. Southern Barter Club (SBC) provides businesses with an alternate business community and parallel economy using a global trade currency. It is a currency that complements (rather than replaces) income from cash paying clients.

Members are free to spend earned trade dollars on whatever they want or need from thousands of businesses within their worldwide network. This model of round robin trading eliminates the challenge of finding a direct trading partner that is interested in the specific goods or services that you have to offer and enables you to trade efficiently and conveniently.

Angie Reese/Accurate Protection

Accurate Protection is an independent insurance agency specializing in business insurance. Safeguarding your company from potential losses requires more than just the purchase of an insurance policy. They invest themselves and their time to understand your business and assist you with developing strategies that lower your overall business risk as well as your cost of insurance over an extended period of time. From your first meeting with them and throughout your interactions, you will see that they strive to consistently go beyond the expected standard routine and deliver results that exceed your expectations.

Workers’ compensation is a fixed commodity and a controllable expense. Their job is to ensure that you do not pay a dime more than you have to for coverage. Accurate Protection will provide you with money-saving strategies that reduce your bottom line. They understand how the system really works. Let them teach you how to control your workers’ compensation program, instead of allowing it to control you.
