Spare capacity going to waste
Empty rooms, quiet diary slots, slow-moving stock and idle production time are already paid for. The question is whether they can be put to work.

Select one priority.
Hidden Asset
In hospitality, capacity disappears quickly. Empty rooms, tables and quiet sittings are not just gaps; they are commercial opportunities.
Capacity Can’t Be Stored
The opportunity has gone forever. The same applies to tables, function rooms and quiet periods.

Would that be worth exploring?
The BBX mechanism
BBX sets up a secondary merchant account that helps your business turn selected spare capacity into purchasing power for the priorities you have chosen.
A BBX account is a secondary account to capture and monetise some of your spare capacity to help with your selected priorities.
BBX is a community of business owners who hold a merchant account allowing them to fund purchases by pledging their services back into the community.
When members transact, they settle through Digital Trade Credits (DTC), creating a practical way to exchange value.
Putting purchasing power to work
Select the types of purchases that matter to your business, then set a realistic budget you would like BBX to help fund.
These are common areas where BBX members look to preserve cash and use purchasing power.
BBX aims to generate additional sales equivalent to 5–20% of current turnover. You choose the amount you would like to work towards.
Your Account Manager helps source these requirements through the BBX community.
From day one
Your dedicated BBX team helps uncover opportunities that might otherwise go unused — using several channels at the same time.
Actively looks for relevant introductions and trading opportunities.
Gives your business visibility to members searching for products and services.
Helps members discover, buy, sell and manage opportunities wherever they are.
Connects you directly with businesses that may need what you provide.
Promotes relevant offers to the BBX UK business community.
Creates conversations, referrals and commercial connections.
Build a realistic BBX transaction
Enter a typical product or service and its DTC value, then let BBX go to work.
BBX identifies and introduces a member who wants accommodation from your hotel.
Your BBX account is credited for the value of the accepted order.
1 DTC = £1 Sterling
for accounting and tax purposes.
The wider commercial value of a BBX sale
The DTC is only one part of the outcome. A new BBX sale can also create customers, market share and valuable business connections.
Without the sale, that spare capacity would have generated no purchasing power at all.
An empty room cannot refer future business, but a satisfied guest can.
The customer stays with you rather than booking a competitor’s hotel.
Every new BBX customer becomes another relationship within the wider business community, creating potential for referrals, introductions and future opportunities.
Understanding the real cost of a BBX sale
A BBX sale does not usually increase your rent, rates, salaries or other fixed overheads. The key question is the additional cash cost of fulfilling this specific order.
These costs are already being paid whether the spare capacity is sold or not.
For a hotel stay, this might include laundry, toiletries, cleaning and breakfast ingredients.
We’ll use your selected priority to show what this could mean commercially.
Putting your purchasing power to use
Once the DTC has been earned, the question is simple: what would normally have come out of the bank account, and how much cash can stay in the business?
This is the traditional route. The purchase is paid from the bank account using cash already in the business.
The purchase is funded using purchasing power created from spare capacity, with only the variable cost needing cash.
