Corporate barter transactions facilitated through Kaufman & Associates, Inc. are truly financial transactions.  They are designed to allow clients the opportunity to utilize less cash than normally required to acquire the same services or merchandise. In addition to our barter services, we can provide for our clients programs that will provide full asset value recovery, without risk or cost, resulting in significant leverage. We can help you dispose of slow-moving inventory, surplus real estate, et cetera, to provide materials cost reductions for business development.

In addition, K&A assists its clients to use their trade for hard good expenditures and capital equipment, as well as for media, printing, and many other items and/or services they require to run the rest of their businesses.

What Can Be Accomplished?

There are many ways that the boundless energies and "Fresh Ideas Daily" of Kaufman & Associates, Inc. can be harnessed and put to work for your company. Here are just a few examples:

Professional Introductions & Deal Facilitation

Networking today is a very common and effective method of bringing business people together for the common good and welfare of all. We pride ourselves on our ability to seek out and bring together complimentary principal parties and their businesses for mergers, partnerships, acquisitions, joint ventures, employment contracts and other vital business needs.

Alternative Capital Resources, Investment Strategies & Debt Restructuring

Forget your old-fashioned notion that money is the only way to buy things! At Kaufman & Associates, Inc., our creative juices really start to flow at the mention of Alternative Capital Resources, Alternative Investment Strategies and Debt Restructuring! We continually amaze our clients (and even sometimes ourselves ) with our resourcefulness and ingenuity in minimizing and/or totally eliminating the expenditure of cash dollars. We have engineered many capital investments, sale/leasebacks, corporate real estate divestitures and debt restructure arrangements for our clients without their having to write a check at all. Let us loose on your next major business venture that you believe requires cash outlay, then watch us perform magic!

Asset Enhancement & Preservation

Nearly everything we do is centered upon the elimination of the necessity for spending money when trade is a viable option. We have helped many of our clients accumulate considerable cash wealth through strategic utilization of their excess inventories, down time, future production and other highly creative alternatives to cash expenditure.

We can help you:

           Minimize the losses of perishable goods
           Reduce cash dollar outlay for expenses
           Enter new channels of distribution
            Generate incremental sales
            Profitably utilize excess production capacity
            Dramatically expand exposure
            Increase export sales

Collection of past due invoices

Rather than pay a collection agency up to 50% to collect an old receivable and ultimately lose the customer, K&A will negotiate on your behalf to collect a barter credit from your delinquent customer. In return, your company will obtain a barter credit with one of our affiliates that you can use for travel, advertising and any other merchandise or service available. That way, you have a much greater chance of retaining your customer for future business, and you will receive much more of the original debt. In addition, you save on the attorney fees and staff time spent on collections.

Negotiations

Sometimes even the best-intentioned business arrangements require a third party to "finesse" the details and make everything run smoothly. As an independent negotiating entity, Kaufman & Associates, Inc. has helped fine-tune countless deals and saved many others from oblivion through intelligent, sensible application of sound business practices and fairness to all parties.

Exit Strategies

"You gotta know when to hold, know when to fold, and know when to walk away."  Before it's time for you to walk, preferably when the business venture is initiated or early enough to deal from a position of strength, having a well-conceived exit strategy is essential in protecting your financial position. At Kaufman & Associates, Inc., we can help structure effective buy-outs and other exit vehicles, including "going public", to ensure that you get your fair share -- and then some!

Media-related activities

Advertising and Public Relations services are costly. Your excess inventory or unused capacity can be exchanged for virtually any type of media exposure: Television, Radio, Print, Billboards, Mailers, Public Relations Services, and much more. No matter who your target audience, we can find ways to reach them for you -- without spending cash!

K&A has a "Guaranteed National Media Program".   See the section titled "Guaranteed Media" for more information.

Internet-related Projects

The wave of the future for companies of all kinds is the Internet. Online commerce today is in its infancy and already accounts for hundreds of millions of dollars in sales. The future potential is staggering and could run  into hundreds of billions of dollars annually! We can assist you in the design, implementation and promotion of a unique and powerful web site.
