How it works... Members are business owners who are looking to maximise their collective efforts in gaining access to parts and services to support their businesses at competitive prices. Capricorn provides the contacts and infrastructure to enable this to happen. What We Do? SUPPLIER MEMBER CAPRICORN Manufacturers and suppliers of goods/ services need customers to purchase their automotive and nonautomotive related products in order to continue doing business. Capricorn acts as an intermediary in the automotive industry, and facilitates the purchasing of goods and services between Preferred Suppliers and Members. Organisations in the automotive and allied industries need suppliers of automotive related goods/services in order to operate. Our Members run automotive workshops that cover all spectrums of the automotive service and repair market. The average profile of a Capricorn Member workshop is: • Small to medium business • 3 mechanics • 4 bays • Operating 5.5 days per week. Our Members pay on 30 days end of month which needs some business discipline and makes them better customers. If our Members do not pay they risk incurring late interest charges. 6.
