  • LETS Start Your Self-Employment Business
    Dear Prospective MCAPS Subscriber:

    If you are laid-off or having a tough time making ends meet…then, please allow me to introduce you to the concept of Local Employment Trading System (LETS).

    The LETS offered by the Alabama Trade Exchange, LLC is a Mutual-Credit Alternative Payment System (MCAPS) that is comprised of four core elements: a Mutual-Credit Union, a Capital Network, a Local Currency, and a Self-Employment Resource Center in Adamsville.

    This is an economic stimulus plan for individuals that are self-employed or considering self-employment. As an average MCAPS subscriber you are guaranteed $2,500 in new barter business, up to $5,000 value-added savings, and up to $1,000 MCAPS-CreditLine.

    I hope you will be able to benefit from Alabama Trade Exchange’s business start-up information, training courses, mutual-credit grants and loans, and entrepreneurship resources to help you start, maintain or grow your self-employment business.

    “LETS Strengthen Alabama.” May 4, 2009 is ATE’s “Mutual-Credit Day.” All subscribers will receive a $200 mutual-credit to stimulate MCAPSÒ self-employment trading.

    Get started today for free. Create your profile on the Community Exchange System at www.myalabamabusiness.com and you will automatically receive your $200 credit on May 4th.

    Please contact Robert Johnson if you have questions, would like to attend one of my free seminars to further explain the MCAPS system or to get started. 205-564-2007.
