Serving Orange County first — founding businesses onboarding now
Every month your business has unused capacity. Turn it into bookkeeping, marketing, legal work, photography, landscaping — the services you're currently paying cash for. A private Trade Balance keeps every exchange fair between you and each partner, even when values don't match perfectly.

How Trade Balance works
Most trades are equal in value. When they aren't, Trade Balance automatically remembers the remaining value between the same two businesses until it is large enough to redeem in a future trade.
Trade Balance is not a marketplace-wide currency. It is a private running balance between the same two trading businesses and can only be redeemed for services from that specific business.
Example 1 — equal value
Balance $0Barber
Haircut · $50
Pet Groomer
Grooming · $100
Agreed trade
Trade complete · Trade Balance: $0
Businesses are encouraged to create equal-value trades whenever practical. When values don't align perfectly, Trade Balance keeps track of the remaining value between those two businesses.

Trade #3 — Balance redeemed
Balances never expire and never auto-spend. Businesses may choose to apply all, some, or none of their available Trade Balance during any future trade — any remaining value stays attached to that trading relationship until it's used.
Trade Balance only exists between these two businesses. It can't be spent with anyone else on TradeNeighbor.

Only between these two businesses. Trade Balance only has value between the two businesses that created it. It cannot be transferred, sold, exchanged, or used with any other business.
Apply all, some, or none. Businesses may apply all, some, or none of their available Trade Balance during any future trade. Any remaining balance simply stays attached to that trading relationship until it is applied later.
Balances are private — only between the two businesses.
Not transferable. Can't be sold or exchanged with anyone else.
A running ledger between trusted partners — not marketplace currency.
