Preferred Providers
These are the vendors extending negotiated pricing to FORCARA members. Discounts run 17-25% depending on the vendor and the category.
FORCARA takes no margin on any of it. The full discount goes to the member. Our revenue is membership dues.

The roster grows as agreements are signed. We don't announce vendors before that, and we don't list anyone we're merely talking to — you should be able to trust that everything on this page is live and available to you today.
What We Don't Do
Merchant Services
We don't offer card processing, and that's deliberate. The only way that business works is on residuals — the referring party takes a slice of every transaction you run, indefinitely. That's precisely the thing we tell you we don't do. We'd rather leave the category alone than break the promise the whole membership rests on.
How We Choose Them
We work with established professionals only. Nobody who started last year, nobody working out of a basement. Every firm on this roster has a track record their own industry already recognises.
Worth saying plainly: nobody pays for placement here. We don't take referral fees and we don't take a share of what a provider earns. The only reason anyone is on this list is that we'd send our own members to them.
Advisors vs. Providers
Your Advisor
Included in your membership — an account manager whose job is working out where you need help and handling the basics. When something needs a specialist, we bring one in at a 20% member discount.
Preferred Providers
Independent firms extending negotiated rates to our members. You engage them directly and pay them directly. We don't take a piece and we don't have a stake.
For Vendors
If you serve independent shops and want access to a qualified membership, we'd like to hear from you.
What we ask: a real discount for our members, service that holds up, and a straight answer when something goes wrong. What we don't ask: any share of what you make. We don't take referral fees on member savings, which means our only interest is whether our members are better off.
