Serving Orange County first — founding businesses onboarding now

How Trade Balance works

No credits. No marketplace currency. Just a private ledger between you and each partner.

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 $0

Barber

Haircut · $50

Pet Groomer

Grooming · $100

Agreed trade

  • • Barber provides 2 haircuts ($100)
  • • Pet Groomer provides 1 grooming ($100)

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

  • • Cleaning Company redeems the accumulated $100 Trade Balance
  • • Personal Trainer provides 1 additional training session worth $100
  • • Trade Balance returns to $0
Trade Balance redeemed · both evenBalance $0

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.
