Current globalization & economic trends have increased over the past decade have created highly efficient and formidable large conglomerates and corporations who effectively exert a major role in business activities. For this reason it has become more difficult for the smaller business to survive as they do not simply have the available resources to finance the infrastructural costs associated with business overheads, large scale purchases in order to qualify for the best prices and in so doing obtain a competitive advantage in the market place and last but not least the financial ability to capitalize on the use of sophisticated technology and systems.

Taking these considerations into account and on analysis of the current trends it becomes  obvious that newer and improved methods and strategies need to be implemented to service the needs of Start-up  and  Smaller corporation who are eager to establish  develop and market their products / services.

Combining certain elements of the RETAIL TRADE EXCHANGE’S (represents a pro-active forum for traders) who in part rely on the expertise of such organizations for additional business to be generated through reciprocal barter trade, and those of the Capex objectives makes good business sense.

The necessary link to satisfy the needs of the Capex members and to facilitate active trade is the establishment of a Capital Asset Obligations Bank. This Obligations Bank will have as its major resource input from potential capital trades from members in the form of irrevocable trade obligations which in turn may be re-traded.

The very nature of a reciprocal barter trade exchange accordingly requires the provision of a reciprocal trade obligation of equivalent value to satisfy the seller’s activity.

Thus three are two documents which are unique in their conceptualization and application namely the trade obligation document and the reciprocal trade document. In order to stimulate capital trade the objective must be to obtain from potential member’s trade obligations requiring them to provide goods and services to other members’ which creates the vehicle to exchange their assets for a potential myriad of offset, thereby spending down their credit positions.

The very nature of the trade obligation document and the reciprocal trade obligation document provide a workable methodology for managing through the infrastructure of the trade obligations bank, purchases and sales of assets and/or revenue enhancements through bi- lateral and multi-lateral transactions.

These transactions can take the form of a direct match and exchange of goods and/or services or alternatively can create relationships for reciprocal trade based on the well established principle of open trade credits. Irrevocable trade obligations which in turn may be traded to purchasers who require their goods and services.

The system also allows for "Cash Blended Transactions" whenever such transactions are appropriate in circumstances where the seller needs to recover a relatively high input cost and where profit margins to not permit trade at on 100% barter.

It is therefore suggested that a strategy be implemented with the following objectives namely:

1. To identify and quantify in precise detail the haves and wants of the capital exchange market with particular application to reciprocal barter trade.

2. To establish a pool of trading member focused toward effecting capital exchanges and encourage them to make a firm commitment through the issue of trade obligation documents to pledge their available resources for trade purposes.
