BBU provides New England businesses with the opportunity to barter for goods and services using a form of trade currency that we call BBU dollars.

Accepted by over 1,800 businesses throughout New England, barter through the BBU network is a powerful solution for companies that want to sell excess inventory or wish to expand their client base. By accepting payment for goods or services in BBU dollars instead of cash, members can sell inventory or increase billable hours in exchange for items they need or services to help grow their business.

BBU members are made up of just about every type of company, from Fortune 500 firms to local start-ups, from brick-and-mortar retail establishments to corporations and professional services. They include restaurants, newspapers, printers, hotels, cruise lines, construction companies, accountants, lawyers… even doctors and dentists. If you can imagine the company, we probably have one as a member!

If you need to reduce surplus inventory, win new high-value customers, ensure production facilities run at near capacity, or keep your staff busy year-round, BBU is for you!
