Graduate of the University of Texas at San Antonio with a BBA in Finance and Marketing, Barron Perales found he had too many student loans and not enough money to satisfy his desire to remodel his new home.

ITEX helped him payoff his student loans faster and remodel his new house. By bartering for the pest control, bathroom and kitchen remodeling, a/c repair, window installation and tree service, he was able to save that much more cash and apply it to his student loan payments. Being able to barter for these services really saved him a lot of cash on the work that was performed and the interest that he would have paid on his student loans.

Bartering was not just a way to pay for his student loans, but is a way of life for Perales. “Bartering is the oldest way of doing business,” Perales says. “There are five types of currency; cash, plastic, real estate, stocks and bonds, and bartering.”

In his first year of operation, he increased business by $300,000, impacted the community with more than 2.3 million dollars in business, and achieved recognition as Rookie of the Year 2006. In his second year of operation, he increased the trade business to three million dollars per year, a new record for the company.

In 2007, Perales was invited to the Minority Business Development Agency's (MBDA) Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week Conference in Washington, D.C. to be recognized in his accomplishment and commitment to Entrepreneurship.
