Trade Bahts are derivatives because they represent a future contract. They provide the ability to purchase future products or services, based on their cash equivalent value. (One trade Baht equals one cash Baht).

Few business owners would identify their trading efforts as buying and selling "futures," but when moving unsold inventory or excess capacity through the barter marketplace, they’re essentially buying future options on goods and services.

In other words they have the right, but not the obligation, to make a purchase in the future. Best of all, the Trade Baht has no specific time frame for its use before facing expiration. Unlike other options, they’re good until used.

When one acquires valuable "Trade Baht futures," it offers a form of financial protection and insurance against the uncertainties in the marketplace. And it can be accomplished at the lower "variable cost" of doing business.

In today’s world, almost without exception, the small business owner is undercapitalized. So it makes perfect sense to embrace the barter arena, as well as the traditional cash market, to provide added financial insurance for one’s business.
