Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I hold on to my cash flow and have new customers coming to my business?

A: Using this example: Lets say you need Automobile Repair and you have been told the cost is $800.00 dollars.  Our members collect their (Out of Pocket, their Variable Cost in cash). Let say thats $300.00.  Youpay the rest in your Credit Dollars (ENTEL's Currency).  In this example you would hold on to 500 of your cash flow!  You can do this with any of your business or personal expences that have competitors.  You decide which expences you want to keep the cash flow from.  Our members come to you for the same reason you went to the Automobile Repair example.  None of our members have any of their cash flow tied up in their Credit Dollars. Individuals can sell miscellaneous items to earn Credit Dollars; or Credit Dollars, currently, can be bought for a 50% discount.  In the above example the individual would save $200.00 after they bought their credits and paid their transaction fee.  Just fill out the trial application our home page and learn as you go.
