Trading Mate businesses with 0-14 employees receive a priority listing over bigger organisations, with equal advertising space for all members – no longer do you need to be listed behind the larger business with huge advertising budgets.
Pssst - if you get your small business in first to your main trading category, you’ll always be the first listing in that trading category for the life of your Trading Mate membership!
We are always looking to expand our categories to reflect new and innovative business – so if you have a niche business, let us know @ admin@tradingmate.com.au and we’ll update our website just for you!
Trading Mate allows you to promote your business online and receive relevant information about other businesses in your region. As a member you can view the services and goods other local businesses require to see if there could be an opportunity to trade your business activities, freeing up your time and cash for better business/home/family use.
We all know a great way to promote your business is to hand out a gift voucher or 2. Sometimes being associated with clubs and non-profit organisations as a contributor can really help put your business in a positive light in your local community. One of the options in your Trading Mate sign up page is to offer vouchers – upon request and identification – to your local registered charities, clubs and non-profit associations. Of course these organisations will need a Trading Mate membership in order to search for businesses who’ve accepted this option as this information will not be available in the public search.
Almost 88%** of all registered businesses in Australia are small business with 0-4 employees. That equates to an average of approx. one micro business proprietor per every 4th household. Did you know the average annual business income (2011) for an unincorporated business was only $23 458 - that’s nearly 2 million businesses whose income doesn’t meet the average annual home mortgage repayment of $23 928 - no wonder the life expectancy of a small business is often extremely limited, and we are often forced to return to paid employment and abandon our home business/lifestyle dreams

We all need something and we’ve all got something to offer. A little trade can go a long way, to not only getting your business reputation out there, but giving you experience both dealing with clients and plying your trade. And if you’re just starting out, you’ll find the cost to promote your business via traditional advertising can be fairly pricey and often the benefits don’t always outweigh the cost. Flyer production and delivery can be costly, time consuming and demoralising. And depending on your budget, the traditional ad in the phone book could be placed way below the other well established competitors. Trading Mate gives both new and existing small businesses an option to be “found” much easier than ever before without massive advertising costs. It’s time to give Australian small business a REAL option for useful online marketing at the least possible cost.
Trading Mate is all about getting the best internet advertising exposure and connections at face-to-face networking functions for small business at the least possible cost.
