Additional Information

Ormita acts as a clearinghouse for the trade of excess capacities, goods and services and works through a combination of manual clearing, online e-commerce trading, 24 hour telephone brokering and independent licensees and brokers. By using offset trade to barter and exchange your goods and services you can save money and recession proof your business.

Few businesses run at 100% capacity. Unsold appointment time, empty hotel rooms, unsold venue passes, unfilled asset space, depreciating stock, end-of-line items, high-margin products and oversupplied items all represent lost revenue.

Ormita members fill idle capacity with new customers, generate new revenue at real market rates, and use this income to offset existing expenses.

By offsetting existing expenses against new sales a business owner can save cash, attract new customers and make additional purchases without the need for discounting.


Surplus time, empty seats, unsold tickets, idle inventory, stock overruns, liquidation items, time-sensitive products, seasonal stock, idle production capacity, vacant rooms, extra airtime and slow-moving stock are all valuable commodities.

Using Ormita you can reduce your existing cash outlay by selling your excess capacity in return for credits which can be used to purchase market-value goods or services from other participants.

Trade what you have for what you need.

And if you wish to expand your business or grow your customer base you won’t have to interrupt your existing lines of credit to do so. Ormita offers interest free finance which you can repay solely by selling your goods or services to customers we bring you.

Ormita is the perfect way to convert non-producing assets into needed products and services.

Simply better than Bartercard, BBX, ITEX or typical "barter exchanges" offset trading is the way to ensure that you get a definite return on your excess capacity without the headache of wondering how to spend your barter dollars.

Franchise license opportunities are also available for the right candidates seeking a long term recession proof business opportunity in the non-cash community currency field.
