A Growing UK Business Network with Experienced Leadership

Silvatree Exchange Ltd operates the Silvatree Capacity Exchange, a UK business-to-business network helping companies generate value from spare capacity and reduce their reliance on cash.

With over 300 UK SMEs already members, the business is led by CEO Ian Jones, who has worked in the industry since 1992 and operated similar networks in seven countries, including as Managing Director of Bartercard UK and President of Bartercard USA.

Silvatree is now actively recruiting independent sales agents, known as Capacity Consultants, to expand its network of businesses across the UK.

Turn Unused Business Capacity into Purchasing Power

Every business has resources it cannot always sell. Empty hotel rooms, unfilled appointments, unused working hours and surplus stock all represent potential lost revenue.

Silvatree’s Capacity Exchange turns this spare capacity into commercial value.

Members sell their unused capacity to other businesses in the network in exchange for Silva, a unit of account referenced at 1 Silva = £1. They can then spend their Silva with other members on everyday business expenses such as marketing, printing, maintenance and professional services.

This allows businesses to attract additional customers, make better use of their resources and preserve valuable cash.

The process begins with a free 40-minute Silva Business Suitability Call, which assesses a company’s spare capacity, potential savings and profit opportunities. There is no payment or contractual commitment at this stage, and businesses receive a summary report to help them make an informed decision.

Membership fees are based on the amount a business plans to spend through the exchange, with a one-off joining fee, monthly subscription and transaction fees.

Earn 30–50% Commission, Paid in Cash

Target Market: Owner-Managed UK Businesses with Spare Capacity

Silvatree targets UK SMEs, typically employing 1–30 people with annual turnover between £100,000 and £5 million.

The strongest prospects have identifiable spare capacity, gross margins above approximately 30% on that capacity, and an owner or managing director who makes commercial decisions.

Key sectors include:

Hotels, B&Bs, guest houses and restaurants
Tradespeople, garages and other service businesses
Printing, signage and courier companies
Marketing, advertising and creative agencies
Professional services and IT providers
Health and wellness businesses

The opportunity is available across the UK, with a particular focus on developing local networks of complementary businesses that can trade with one another.

Ideal Profile: A Well-Connected, Consultative Sales Professional

Silvatree is looking for independent sales professionals with established relationships among owner-managed businesses and the commercial understanding to discuss profitability, margins and cash flow.

Existing contacts through chambers of commerce, business networking groups, trade associations or an established SME client base would be particularly valuable.

This is a consultative sales opportunity, rather than a high-pressure selling environment. Successful Capacity Consultants will be good listeners, comfortable engaging business owners and willing to learn Silvatree’s suitability analysis.

Consultants will also help newly introduced members begin trading with other businesses in the network, making relationship-building an important part of the opportunity.

If you have an established network of UK SME contacts and want to develop a commission-based business around a distinctive commercial proposition, Silvatree would like to hear from you.
