Membership
Membership is not just a logo on your website. It brings credibility, visibility and influence. Above all, you join a respected business community. It opens doors, and it speaks with one voice.
Over 17,000 businesses work in the London Borough of Redbridge. Therefore, the right contacts matter. They can be the difference between just getting by and really growing. Are you just starting out, or already well established? Either way, one of our tiers will fit.
Sign-up and payment are handled securely in our members portal, which opens in the same window.

Common questions
How do I join the Chamber?
First, choose the tier that matches the size of your business. Next, open our members portal using either button on this page. Finally, complete your details and payment there. If you would rather talk it through first, please contact us and we will help you pick.
Which tier is right for my business?
It depends mainly on how many people work for you. Sole traders usually start with Founder. Small teams tend to pick Founder PLUS or Gold. Larger employers generally choose Platinum. However, if you sit between two tiers, please get in touch. We will talk it through with you.
Can I pay monthly instead of annually?
Yes. Founder PLUS is our pay-monthly option, at £9.99 per month. Every other tier is billed annually.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Businesses often join at one level and move up as they grow. So, when you are ready to change tier, simply contact us and we will arrange it.
Where do I manage my membership?
Membership records and payments live in our members portal rather than on this website. Therefore, please sign in there to update your business details or renew.
